After seeing this picture of an exige with leds, it's been going through my mind.



Scavanging ebay for some. Cheap as p*ss.

First step measure the available room:

(sorry for the dutch. paars = purple, blauw=blue, lichgroen=licht green, groen=green, rood=red and orange is orange)

Ordered an 80mm and a 90mm set, which turned up today.
The 80mm fits like a glove, but the 90mm is to small to go around the big light. I think 100mm may be just to big.


This is on my test lamp. My normals are turbo look, so i will spray the led rings black to blend them more.





Result looked pretty good to me, but i need to get that second ring working, as it looks better in duo.







Pictures are crap due to the flash. I'll try again in the weekend to get betters.

The 80mm set i used:

Easily reversable to orignal light usage for our MOT, as the small lights pins are easily pulled out of the socket, and connected to this led ring with a plug.

So the hunt for the 100mm and customising it to fit begins.

That is plan B.
I'm testing it all on a testlamp, before making final choices.

I've done this to my fog light (70mm fits like a glove) as the bulb holder was snapped and wasnt working. The colour of the led's in mine has a blue hue and looks absolutely cr4p. Needless to say they wont be coming on and will be binned.

I've never considered this on the vx before, it looks wicked! Maybe a little less bright and more of a glow, but still looks wicked.
