Husky

^_^ not bad brother, busy busy Will get a meet up sorted soon, just seeing what Danny boy is up to.

better than a porsche

I'll be having a big workshop clear out pretty soon where everything will go on ebay that is left. I think there are a few bars in there

glad it worked well for you

I'm abroad at the moment but I will be back on the 2nd of feb, I'll see which side I have left then

it was -40C in the north of Canada which apart from freezing the moisture in your nose so you sniff ice, ice awesome drifting weather. Now in Colorado, snowboarding yesterday, driving the mountains today. It's only -10 here or something so it's pretty warm

sorry I haven't had a chance to put all the guides etc back up. real life caught up with me. ill see if I can get a chance to sort it soon. I just wondered why yours had gone, you should have left the Akari designs stuff on here after all have 710 oil paid a Trader fee since their offer expired in October 2009? Their thread is still there.... not my choice i'm afraid

Husky aint got nothing on Sarnie, its just Sarnie has mellowed a lot in his old age and now being a Dad Go trawl through his old posts and you'll have a laugh. Yeah because you guys got all anti fun brigade on us all I didn't get put down, I had to be more responsible as I started running a business.

You're going to get shafted You're going to get shafted You're going to get shafted *dances*

apparently my car is now sold.... wonder who to....

^This 110%

black cat customs do dial faces in any form you ask for. as far as I'm aware you cannot mix post and pre 06 dial faces. the orders from black cat can take a few months worst case so dont take the car to bits and wait.

this murray guy sounds like an ass

matty boy was travelling along at a normal/safe speed for the road and it just let go, not sure if it was oil etc but it wasn't driver error as far as i'm aware. It spun between two cars (missing them) went up the kerb and then into a road sign (softer than a lamp post fortunately) backwards. I don't think any pictures were really posted of it.

pm R35LEE he will know where it was sold to etc

in person i think they look good, its a modern feature that brightens up the front. I would say change all your bulbs first as this is a simple yet effective option. get slightly whiter bulbs in the headlights, makes a world of difference

the star burst look of the LED's is due to the photography/photoshopping, you can't as far as i am aware buy star shaped led's

spot on, if you do (for some reason) mount narrow angle ones make sure you are damn good at lining them up surface mounted with a lens would be great as they are so small but would be realllly hard to manufacture that into the light.

depends what you want to achieve really. you might want to take a look at the colour temperature of your headlight bulbs (aftermarket or not) and get LED's of a colour that will match that. Sometimes you may find this a bit of trial and error as they produce the light in a different way and cover different wavelengths. So if you think you haev found the right one, buy a couple of them, hook them up and give them a go comparing them to your headlights before you pull anything apart. for the voltage, it depends on how you will hook them up. It's worth reading into the various ways of wiring them up (parallel, series) and see what suits you. parallel uses more wiring but can be simpler to understand. Remember the alternator works at 14.5V NOT 12V, this always annoys me when people use the value 12V and this is why people burn them out all the time. You need to either spec the LED's based on 14.5V or the better option is to regulate the voltage to 12V using some circuitry. size wise it's dependent on your application, 5mm are by far the most common size however you will find there 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, surface mounted of varying package sizes, etc etc. brightness and viewing angle go hand in hand, if you go for a high brightness LED that has a very narrow angle it will provide a very bright but small circle when projected onto a surface. if you get the same brightness with a wide angle it will flood a large area but it will be less bright. it's your choice what brightness and angle you choose and again trial and error is key, remember, you will be limited what angle you can mount them at. There is a truck load of info out there on the application of LED's and what it all means. If you get really stuck you can ask in electronics forums like allaboutcircuits but make sure you do not tell them it's for automotive purposes as they refuse to have anything to do with the car modding scene for "legal" reasons. tell them it's for a school project to simulate a car headlight and isn't for a real vehicle.

I use hostpapa they have been great, any questions answered in minutes. I don't know if they will run all that you are asking for but they are a big enough so i assume so. they do have a cpanel thing like you say

spend good money get good kit. if you buy them from the arse end of china they will be crap. buy them from RS or farnell they will be good because they are reputable companies who have strict quality procedures. The cheap ones direct from china are the cast offs that better companies reject. more importantly spec them correctly! The amount of people that install LED's in automotive applications and spec them completely incorrectly makes me have a breakdown.

get yourself to hospital/doctor you crazy man!
