LED / Lighting swag....

Here are the bits of LED loot that will be going into 1 side of the headlights. Can you tell what is going where?

 

MOAR PICS! Thanks for starting this thread! I'm going to get my headlights done soon also and can use some more ideas!

 

I have delayed posting all these pics I have accumulated due to time constraints ( work, as well as working on other members headlights) but here are the last known pics I posted while waiting for custom parts to arrive...

 

Looking good so far :cheers:

 

Cheers Paul. Us little guys just trying to keep up with you... :1::haha::1:

 

Uh yeah......right hmmm I am not that far ahead of you so called little guys.

Keep up the good work :M5thumbs:

 

Paul, you coming down next weekend? I might have to pull my car out of the shop for next week and let him "exercise" :hihi: ...but just for the weekend ...

If I was free next week I would have been going to the airstrip event in Coalinga but alas I have family commitments :sad1:

 

More teasers for you guys!!

 

Subscribed! I will be modding my headlights soon, seems like an interesting project! :cheers:

 

Not really happy with the way the LED turn signal bulbs complemented the blackout theme.

 

I think it will look better on the car. Especially when your V4s are on.

 

Not to worry, I've addressed the excessive "whites" on the LED turn signal bulbs... Just blacked-out all non essential parts on it.... Was a little tricky and "delicate," with the micro surfaces. Had to fire up and use the airbrush gun to get it right...

 

Great attention to detail. Ill be shipping my lights to you in a couple of weeks. My car is in the shop as we speak having the rear bumper repaired. Ill have the paint code for the Lambo orange when I pick the car up next week.

Looking forward to the opportunity to be a part of your project!! If I had to make an educated guess it would be that you have Arancio Borealis AKA LAMBOR-L0E2, but the problem with guessing here, is that PPG lists 2 different paint codes for that specific color (905385 and 905385/2) Then again, I could also be completely off with my guess (there are 13 different shades of Arancio throughout the years). I would hate to be off on the color, thus my request for the specific color code :M5thumbs: I've spent the better half of tonight trying to tweak a few things on the lighted / illuminated fins.. Will have update info/pics soon for all your viewing enjoyment. "Measure twice... cut once!" :cheers:

 

Anthony, these are the 08 lights aren't they? Just double checking on something out of interest :blink:

 

Yes Sir, that is correct. Wanna talk about something wild? How about you send me your current set, and let me.... I sent you a PM of what I have in mind...

Replied to your PM....

 

Mbtiou5...do those LED turn signals work plug and play for our LCI cars? Or do you need to wire resisitors/coding to prevent errors?

I need up update my headlight turnsignals BAD after upgrading to LED sidemarkers and reverse lights.

 

The pair I picked up for this project are error free. They have built in resistors, thus the size that you see :biggrin: They cost a bit more than the conventional 3457 bulbs + resistor, but my goal isn't necessarily to cut costs in this build, but more importantly to limit the amounts of extra wiring required, due to the nature of the install.. Do note that there are 2 major factors to also consider, which are the following 1) (actual bulb size/ led count) as some of the higher numbered led bulbs will not fit into thed housing without modifications 2) if you choose to use resistors, plan ahead where you will want to run the resistor pack, as they are going to be "very hot" so they cannot be mounted on or around plastic ( melted plastic / fire hazard ), not to mention excessive unsightly wires running around. Due to these factors, I always recommend just paying more and paying for the error free ones with the built in resistor...

 

Looking forward to seeing this finished. Thinking about doing this too.

 

Believe me, I'm just as ecstatic from the anticipation as everyone else, but between work, and family, in the last month, I've also managed to knock out 2 other Orion installs, one of which included the blacked out eyebrows, which is actually more work than the Orion installs themself. Even managed to squeeze in 3 sets of restoration for other members, and locals. My own set just sat here, but should be completed, sealed, and back on the car by next week at latest. Stay tuned!

 

looking good broham! happy to see the turn signals turned out the way you planned!

 

:grinyes: Thanks for the camaraderie! You can see now, why I had to shell out the extra $$$ to get this right..

 

Looking great so far...cant wait for your final product!

 

Looking really good

 

So how long is it going to take till we see the finished product? Not that I need another "want" added to my list :7:

 

https://www.facebook.com/antcchu?ref=tn_tnmn Add me, I will update/ share more build photo's there, as I'd like to keep more pertinent info here. I am currently doing the illuminated/ lighted fins as I write this, but the headlights will be completed, sealed, restored again, and back on the car within 7-10 days. Mbtiou5 is in dire need of some exercise, pending completion of mods, but hey, I got good news! My gasoline bill has been cut down to 1/4 of what they normally cost, and I was able to duck the sudden price hikes!! Lmao...

 

Mbtiou5....PM sent

 

Wow this looks amazing!!! Can't wait to see the finished product. I am going to need a good winter project

 

L.E.D there be light!!!

Just checked on the last few remaining parts to complete this build and can go pick everything up today!! So as a teaser I present...

 

We need to talk They look awesome!!!
