Custom FX35 headlights

[daniel123588]

Hi. Just finished my custom headlights. Thought I would share to give people ideas. Clear lens with spacing, sequential chase amber strip with switchback to white. That’s about it.

I have some super extremely bright amber turn signal leds but they drown out the strip so I just used reg chrome amber bulbs for now.

Not sure if I used the correct embedding link.

Nice, somehow I think it would look even cooler if the turning light bulb didn't light up at all and just have the led strip light up (like some Audi's have) did you consider that? Anyhow.... nicely done!

Love it. What kind of LED strip you use? Hope that something has been around and have some track record on reliability.

appreciate the the feedback. Every car in the US (as far as I know) requires amber flashing for the front to be legal, back can be red but not the front. even the Audi’s have flashing turn signals with their sequential turns as well. I’m too old to be getting tickets for silly things. I would pull out the amber reflector but safety check nowadays is sooooooo difficult. Plus I need to raise my coil overs up each year and it’s becoming too tiring.
i could pull out the chrome bulb but then it would hyper flash and I just hate mounting resistors. I am going to plug back in my no resistor needed super bright led amber bulb even though it drowns out the LED strip because these chrome bulbs don’t emit much light.

It’s from TRS, it’s the sequential chase led strip. How’s this though, I ordered it back on Black Friday and only got it last week. They also sent me the wrong clear lens spacers twice! It was to the point I just made my own lens spacers. however, I have ordered from them for years and years for all my retrofit projects and they do have really good customer service and prices. The days of scouring parts on hidplanet is not needed these days.
I have done as much research as I could before ordering but couldn’t find much at all so I just ordered it (before that is).
