A Sunday well spent on the LS3 E30

Car = amazing.

[MR.LUGO]

the light blue ones would look cool like right around dusk or something.

KITT style LED would have been radder.

Fyi red lights are illegal to run up front while driving down the street.

Hmmmm....not my cup of tea. But, at least have the engine to back up showy stuff haha

So I wanted to put some light behind my grill, the idea being that I could get it to shoot out the front a bit and look pretty mean. I didn't want it to look very Fast and the Furious and I think that it turned out well. I'm not quite done overall, come tomorrow they'll turn on/off with the fog-lights.

If there's enough interest I'll write up a tutorial. All in all it took about $50 in supplies ($40 were in LED bits, if I didn't want one with colorshifting it'd be about $20). There is a color wheel to change to any color in the rainbow, but red/white are the only ones that I took any pictures of.

Without further adieu:

Red lights/headlights on, from the side.


White lights/headlights off, from the side.


White lights/headlights on, from the front.


White lights/headlights off, from the front.


Red lights/headlights on, from the front.


Red lights/headlights off.

So yeah, if people want a tutorial I can write one up, but I've still got a little more to do before I can really trust them entirely on the street. Just thought I'd share the new work. More interior bits to come!
