Installed 6 small universal LEDs in the lower grill today! I didn't realize how over the top the front end would look once it got dark but....it is what it is! Lol it took too long to install to just take them out now! It's def not hard to see when it's dark that's for sure and plus I think they are growing on me! What do you guys thinking? Thanks

Would you be so kind as to take a brief video during the day time from a few angles (basically panning from left to right) focused on those eagle eye LEDs? I'm interested in using them as DRLs if I can't find anything else I'd prefer to get.

And your setup is definitely overkill, but looks badass. Have fun with that one!

Looks like a Christmas tree. And unless those are retro fitted, HIDs in standard headlights are a nightmare.

Where when and how would you be able to draw that conclusion from ?

Have you seen the mercedes with the 3 point front star . A new Ford Mustang has plenty of front lights also ..shoot I am building a lighted Pony for a few guys that have presented interest ..
Now have you there maybe a few Jurisdictions that have laws upon the books for such displays . As long as your not an A Hole around town most cops are cool with IT ............

Light output, LED strips are one thing, these are putting out as much as a low beam light. Most if not all states have laws about the amount of headlights or light output a car can have on the street.


EDIT: I don't know the OP state, if I did I could easily point to the law in their area. Here is an example of how this would be illegal in my state. For reference 300 candle power is less than 4000 lumens. https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/347/II/07

I'm from MN I live in a small town that I pretty much have ran into ever cop here either once or twice! Lol

Everyone that doesn't like it should post a picture of their Cruze! I bet I see atleast 2 that look almost identi

You all are not reading the previous replays before commenting yourselves lol

1. I said a that it's too dark atm "here in MINNESOTA" to take a video of the Eagle Eye for the guy that commented 2nd to the post!

2. I understand that atleast the LED strip is illegal so I don't drive around with it! It was just a for fun thing!

3. I said I rarely drive around with all them on at once and that I just turned them all on for the video!
Lol it's alright though...:))

I've had the HIDs in the reflectives long before I became a member on this site and I'm not willing to drop alotta $$$ on retrofits just bc everyone on here complains about it! I've owned the car since they first came out in 2011 and threw tint and the 8000k's in within the first week and have never once been pulled over for them! (And I don't just stay in my town, my car has made numerous trips from MN to TX and I never had a problem there either) Until they burn out or I find a deal on a pair of projectors it's going to stay as is for HIDs! Plus it gives more people reason to hate ?! You guys will be first to know trust me when/if I get pulled over for the HIDs! I'll post a topic on here just for you guys! Thanks for your input everyone!

It not about you saving money, its about not blinding other drivers on the road so its a safety thing. You know its illegal so don't be surprised about getting pulled over for it sometime, doesn't matter how long you have done it for. Also I'm not sure the point of adding all those high output LED lights to the front if you claim you don't use them on the street.

Lol smh I won't be surprised! I'm sure I'd get pinched right away with a ticket if I drove with the led strip turned on but I don't drive with it! At night I got my heads and fogs on, if it's raining I put the heads and Eagle Eyes on...I don't get why my reasoning of having the lights matters to you so much anyways but there you go!

I know there's a possibility of me getting pulled over but it hasn't happened yet soo...it must not be that big of a problem to oncoming traffic! If you know of any projector headlights feel free to leave a link! When it becomes a big deal I'll make the change! I think it's blown up as a bigger deal than what it's really is honestly!

Link #1: OEM Koito Bi-Xenons for $45. Still too expensive? https://www.theretrofitsource.com/c...n-bi-xenon-projectors-49455.html#.VlcMioS9jzI

Link #2: Post by a member of another forum explaining in detail how HID projectors work and why you should never install HID's in a halogen reflector. Lots of good info. HID lights in reflector housings- A reminder to some of you out there. - ClubRoadster.net
