Looking for the Turn Signal demon eye pic i have. I used 4 LEDs on that one and it was 2 bright I would use 2 or 3 LEDs. Here it is.. Sorry, the image uploader doesn't resize it anymore, gotta do it manually.


Now you tell us
I went with 4 RGB's in each. 4 leds in the turn signal halo are WAAAAY too much lol. (melt my paint bright) Also the amount of wiring that is required for the RGB leds is a lot higher than the regular LEDs. I should have moved one or two to the main projector.

Since you're going with the RGBs, I take it you're either going to do your own soldering or have someone to do it for you. That was a PITA soldering those tiny resistors. I went ahead and color coded the wires for my RGBs to keep things straight when plugging it into the controller.

Good point, If he bought the 5mm RGB LEDs 12v w/Resistors that come pre-wired he is good, if not than yep it's PITA. The COB RGB (Halos, Angle Eyes, Orbs) come with 12v resistors already. The LEDs pop up on Ebay from time to time 12v with resistors.. Luck of the draw on what color they have.

Robs lights had 4 RGB LED's on his main projector and they weren't bright enough for that big lens. Osiris and I were talking about this Ultra Blue Devil Demon Eyes LED Strips Module for Projector Headlights Retrofit | eBay as a possible solution. It can be mounted closer to the main projection lens. The problem is the projector were you drill and mount the LEDs is almost 6 inches away from the lens. This little thing can slide under the housing just above the lens. Trying to do mine to see if it works good enough to recommend.
