Different DRL LED look

juve010 · 11-15-2011, 01:11 PM

So I decided to change up my previous LED look with a new/different one. Ordered some warm white LED strips, created a PWM circuit from a PICaxe microcontroller, sharp 12v regulator etc. and mounted them in between the fender and headlight lenses. Result is as follows:

On startup, they do a "breathing" dance. They dim up and down kinda like the Macbook sleep LED.

I like it because the warm white gives more of a classy look than the regular cool white LEDs that everyone seems to have now a days.

Anyway, hope you like!

not a big fan. I think everyone has been going led crazy since the audi headlights came out. Just looks out of place

You find a very good place to put the leds really. but IMO DRL or leds do not flow with the era/car, the only place to me to put leds are the superwhite bulbs in tha rear license plate. But no more leds in this cars!

Anyway, if you like stay like that

dont look bad

How did you manage to get those to become your DRL's? They look pretty cool btw, wonder what it would look like if you just made it the entire circle kinda like the bmw angel eyes lol
