Actually I think plastic completely blocks UV. I don't know what our covers are made of but it's some plastic or polymer and I think there is a very good chance it will stop UV.

My main concern is heat in there, but to go on headlights that stuff had to have pretty good heat tolerance.

Everyone is poo pooing this idea, but I'm thinking its so crazy it just might work! (Or maybe my lamps will burst onto flames or something, we'll see)

I think the bigger concern is that it just might look so cra*py that I'll have to end up buying new headlights.

I'm talking to the guys at ONEighty to see if they want to take this on.

They are skeptical too.

So now that the 2013 has those LED DRLs, can these be wired into that or are they still wired up to the parking light switch?

KaienZ34 · 03-05-2013, 07:36 PM

Are the landing strip LED's pointed up or forward?

They sit flush inside the dimple. The lens is angled to be viewed from different areas, check it out:

You just need a sequential taillight kit, but finding one for 10 or so outputs could be tough.

We do work with a company called Hankscraft that specializes in making custom circuit boards. I doubt they have ever done anything like this for a car, but you never know until you ask.

Just Google Hankscraft. Guy who runs the place is named Dave Laridaen.

What is the approximate turn around time? I may have mine done when I go on vacation next.

Depending on the setup, 2-4 business days. If you drive in, same day as long as you put down a deposit and make an appointment
