DIY: LED Halo w/Video's

Looking good! Regarding the sma projector for the turn signal, I thought people stopped doing this because having a projector there caused it to magnify sunlight heat and cause paint

Looking good! Regarding the sma projector for the turn signal, I thought people stopped doing this because having a projector there caused it to magnify sunlight heat and cause paint to bubble in front. Or was that due to bad prep work?

Ya that is an issue and after sitting in the sun a little to much i got some melting/warping of the paint just below the projector. If i were to move it back a little more i think i could of prevented it. I though of wrapped the plastic just under it with either a clear piece or matching color to get around it. May do so if i take them apart again, or just wrap the whole damn thing.

Either way the headlight themselves are functioning grate, minus the morimoto demon eyes. I either missed the opening in the housing just by a few mm or the opening does not let enough light through.

If anyone wired a switch to manually turn them on or off via switch inside the cabin, let me know how and where you ran the +/- line to whereever inside the cabin.
