I made them out of a rod for adjusting blinds and 4 white leds. I think they turned out good.

The only thing I did different was instead of a dremel, I used a pair of pliers w/ cutters to make slits.

looks super easy, it'd look nice red, only prob is i ahve an 01, so #1 i dunno if it'd be that easy to open and #2 my drl's are always on and headlights come on at night, so its tough to say if they would even be noticable.

that looks cool, i may have to try that. The only thing is that i mounted them to the metal thing that hangs infront of the light bulb and there isn't one on the high beams.

i was thinkign maybe glue them to the inside of the front clear part of the housing??? not sure if you understand what i mean, but it might work.

Do the angel eyes affect the light output of the normal bulbs at all? Or is it negligible? I'll look into a making myself some in the spring. One question though...when the engine is running isn't the electrical system running at ~14.4v? I know the battery is 12v but when the car is running the cigarette lighter shows as 14.4v on my voltmeter. :???:

Kinda important to know cause I don't want to overvolt the LEDs after I go through the trouble of sealing them into my headlights.
