So I haven't had any new projects in quite a while.

I'm considering modifying my stock headlights with Audi LED running lights.

Can anyone link me to a thread on removing the stock headlight lens so that I can get inside for my project? Thats the only thing I have never done before.

Bake them in the oven at 180* for 10 minutues? Not sure that's exactly what to do but it sounds about right. Wait for ordonez he's baked his before.

i like the idea .. make sure u seal up GOOD

Just bake them on low heat. Mine were 185*ish. And check on them every few minutes after about 8-10 minutes and try and pry them apart.

I don't have photoshop on this workstation but this is what I'm thinking...

I love the Audi lights like that.
However, I did notice they have it wired funky.
When the turn signal goes on, it shuts it off or something. Looks terrible. Think they should have it blink like a turn signal, be much cooler.

that will be cool mod if you can pull it off...or you could do projectors and wire up the halos as DRLs.

I'm getting the parts to start it today, I am thinking I might put a row of orange under the signal lights and have those flash but the whites would stay on constantly.

I also want the whites to either flash in sequence when the alarm is armed, or dim and stay on in low power mode overnight like my groundfx.

Projectors are too trendy (i hate the mazda 6 look) and there's no real custom work involved.

**** Next Hurdle ****
What do I used to seal the capsules back up????

Yeah those lights are sick..too bad they don't make them for other types of cars as like an aftermarket thing, like the projectors came to be.

I bet if you wait like a couple months they will have them being sold for GP's and stuff like the projectors. Good luck with your idea though, can't wait to see it.

Silicone 5200.

Man, that would be so sick to do that. Specially if you make it were the car alarm is armed and the lights flash, that would be sick as well.

i definatly cant wait to see this mod!!!

I'll second that

I ordered the acrylic rods to mount the LEDs, I also picked up the silicone from home depot. Should have everything I need to attempt it this weekend. I'm going to do it on my passenger side first because its bouncing and I need to remove it anyways to fix that.

Thank you for all the feedback so far, I have another question regarding the light dispersion - I cannot duplicate the look of the Audi light of course, thats machine made, my choices are:

- to rivet the acrylic with a dremel which is very time consuming and wont look perfect when its done but it will give it a uniform look and disperse the light to the sides.

- to rough sand the acrylic which will disperse the light making it easier to see from the sides but but will limit the distance it will be visible forward

- to leave the acrylic crystal clear which will allow for maximum forwards visibility forward but limited side visibility. Leaving it clear will also make the holes I drill for the LEDs visible.

That sounds like a good idea, I can't wait to see the end!!
