L.e.d Driving Lights

[Spunky Munky]

Hi guys,

I know this is a touchy topic, and no I'm not trying to get the Audi A5 look or anything, but I do like look of LED driving lights...so what do you think of it on a R33 GTR with genuine Series 3 front bar? Below is a pic of what my car's front bar looks like and the type of LED lights I'm after...has anyone done this to their car and any pictures?

Any specific types you would recommend? The R35 GTR has factory optioned ones and looks awesome...I want me a pair!

Cheers

I have some on my car but dont have any photos up

Side mounted smd leds , mounted under the factory headlight , the waterproof strip is a couple of mm thick so nearly invisible when off

You can buy them from autobarn , think the brand

Was autotecknica for about 25 bucks a pair, clean bright white colour no blue hue

There is ADR rules for DRL lights of 18watts I think so bewarned , no blue hue either

They look good and dont detract from the normal style since you cant see them off they blend into.r34 headlight underside between the bar and light , 33 would be the same look

i thought of getting some for my 34 also, but not too sure now.

i remember seeing one few years ago in the city but it looked pretty tacky. But maybe it was just the stupid artwork he had on it with dragons and crapl lol.

Troy, think you could put up a pic or 2 of what yours looks like?

They have to turn off or dimm when your headlights come on from what I was reading, I bought some off ebay the same shape as you have in the pics and the LED's kept blowing in them, if I was to do this again I would get the phillips DRL's, they have a kit that dims and also one that turns off when your headlights come on.

As with almost any LED product on ebay, they're run at too high a voltage for the product, they always need a line resistor to drop the voltage down to under 12v input, do this and they'll last.

Mine are super small pin head size leds , edge mounted not flat like eblow ones or the ones posted up a few years ago that got slaped on lower face of headlights

you can hook up a relay to switch them on and off for any situation thats not a problem

Iphones no photos but maybe this weekend I 'll take some

The vague ADR , I see many holes in it for police to read in defect

These are indeed good and I have a contact that sells genuine stuff 20-30% off retail so may hit him up for a pair...but the thing is it has to look good or else it will jut be tacky...I like these better than the plastic bendible ones...looks cheap as...
