I took a few pics real quick but there are more to come.









Let me know what you guys think so far

Thanks
Very nice! I'm Connecticut also and I'm trying to find out if I could use other colors or are they against the law here. I appreciate any help. I went online to the DMV and nothing.

I noticed on some of the homemade sites they don't mention a transformer or ballast, Only a transistor. Usually I see them included when you buy the expensive one's. I noticed at Oznium .com has LED's with resistors already attached.

you dont need a transformer or ballast. you NEED a resistor though. 220ohm should be sufficient. I got all my LEDs and a pack of resistors for $12 at radioshack.

Absolutely NOT. Only way to not blind oncoming traffic is to turn the headlights down as much as possible or installing projector housings that have the appropriate cut-off pattern.
