  • Where do the appearance modifications fit in at....? Oh well, I guess in this thread.

    I love to add decals of the products I put on my car. So I guess this is an appearance modification. I have Eagle Eyes projectors headlights and I want to put a decal of the logo on my car. I thought this would be cool for us who have the eagle eye projectors. I added a different eye color on the logo due to my temporary touch to my projectors glass having green LEDs behind them. here is the photo I touched up of the logo:


    And here is my projectors:




    I plan to fix this temporary look with a different LED or just drill a hole through the reflector bowl and pop three 5mm LEDs through it.

    You don't want to drill holes through the projector's reflector bowl because that'll screw with its optics. There are other ways of doing it, which you can find by conducting a simple Google search.

      So glad I have not done so then. I'm still debating on How I want to do it.

          I'm looking right now. I am glad you told me this cause I thought a 6mm hole through the reflector bowl would not mess up the bowls design.

            If you put the holes in the half of the reflector bowl that doesn't utilize any light, then it'd be okay; however, you would see little to no light at the lens... If that makes any sense.

              It does. I also thought of sticking a disc shape smd LED on the reflector bowl so it shines through the projector lens. But, I'm thinking that it will prevent the light from reflecting off the bowl evenly.

                Have you taken the time to research other methods?
