Looks awesome. Like others though, I am skeptical regarding safety.

I like the HID's too, with the halos, but not everyone likes them. I think the SMD is awesome though, and good work. I am working on LED's for the interior lights to make it brighter, and adding LED accents to random spots in the car, but never though about SMD for the headlights. Kudos!

Well, I got something to say about this, please don’t hate me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) .

Just to clarify some facts.
SMDs are LEDs. Not all LEDs are SMDs, but every SMD is a LED.
There could be SMDs that have higher wattage than “not SMDs” LEDs, just as “not SMDs” LEDs can have higher wattage than a SMD.

Not because it is a “higher wattage” SMD you can say it is good for your application. Anyway, if it really had that much wattage you will be running with heat problems and without heat sinks the LEDs will fail soon. The very few real LED headlights to date are designed very different front the conventional reflector halogen headlights and they have big heat sinks.

I know that they are bright enough for people to see you, but I don’t think your light gets that far away for you to see on dark roads.

Right now Hi-beams are the same light output as Low beams.

Now, if they are really that bright as it may seem in your video, well then you are blinding oncoming traffic because you don’t have a cut-off. (watch at 2:55 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqRx76Cdhlk )

BTW anything can look bright; it depends on your camera settings, so you should have a reference.
Please look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbK31E025SA exactly at 1:30.
Can you see the difference between both turn signals during direct sunlight??
Please tell me which one you can see better.

I guarantee you. LED technology has not reached that level, especially in non-projector housings.

You are right.

Are your tails red or orange? They kinda look orange in the video, but i assume it's just the video.

Almost every tail light is red/orange. They are not pure red.

yo msvg. whats ur car do 0-60 in?

I'd like to thank everyone for their opinion, imput, etc.. I am aware some of you feel it is unsafe. I wouldn't drive around with these, if they were unsafe. It's bright but not too bright. I used to get hi-beamed a lot with my HIDs. With these I have yet to get hi-beamed. I like them and know that they are safe (and frankly that is all that matters).

you left blinker dont work.

It does work. For Most of the Video, I only had the right turn signal on.

nice work msvg. how much did the total switch over cost?

When I get some time I'll do a write-up with costs and where to get it and I'll PM you.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/offtopic.gif) Looks good MSVG. A couple questions. What was the cost for all that? Are your tails red or orange? They kinda look orange in the video, but i assume it's just the video. and lastly, can I get a link for the SMD you put in the hatch area? The light that is in there now is so bad it actually makes it darker. Also the overhead light too, if you could. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/offtopic.gif)

I'll PM you the details as well.
My tail lights are red. Even the bulbs are red SMDs. Red penetrates better through a red lens resulting in brighter light.
As for the interior lights, they are blinding at night lol! Love the trunk one as well. Will PM you. I bought two trunk bulbs. PM me i could sell you it.

Picture updates? Ability to light the road shots, distant wall shots?

If it gets warmer, sure.

yo msvg. whats ur car do 0-60 in?

I don't know. I will make a video when I find myself at a track or private property with permission. Winter tires will affect my time though.
