I'd like to see how you guys are actually mounting them inside the headlight housing.

I made these a while back but never posted the finished result.

So here it is,






no, they dont show AT ALL when lights are running or when suns shining. but its still fun for when the suns going down and i'd definately do it again.

Im thinking about doing this but do they actually light up the road at night? this is probably a dumb question but it just seems like a little LED wont provide "a light at the end of the tunnel."

You mount them around your stock headlight bulb. These are not for primary lights, just for looks.

[QUOTE=Onarom;496268]Do not use Gorilla Glue (it bubbles and ends up looking like crap)

DO use a small amount of a 2 part epoxy like the one in the photo below:

you can use gorilla glue but it has to be gorilla SUPER GLUE, the non-expanding kind.

Good looking out. I'm gonna hook up my kids' power wheels with some halo lights now that you made it so affordable.

Where can you buy the Acrylic Rods or plexiglass from? I'm having a hard time finding it, and I prefer it over curtain rods.

Anybody thought about just using EL Wire?

It's flexible, can be cut to any length, and very bright throughout. Also fairly cheap...$2-$3/foot. You can just bend it around, cut it to the length you want and connect it.

Live Wire - The Worlds Brightest EL Wire Guaranteed!

Just a thought.
