Now we're on the same page. I run them without headlights on for that reason. I'm looking towards 35W or 55W 6000Ks in e-codes, but I'd like a little amber too

i spliced right into the parking lights. at first i was worried that the LEDs would blink with blinkers on but i found out that there was an extra wire in the corners that was the "blinker wire" lol. its weird but it works perfectly

as for projectors i want the two piece depo/helix and the 35w 4500k or 5000k H7 HIDs from ddm tunning. but now i started thinking about the 35w 6000k too LOL

It's a decent idea on paper, but I have yet to see anyone pull it off :/

It doesn't look bad, just looks like someone threw them on without any thought to it. I guess I'm being picky because I do like the idea of LED's on the front of cars.

Good effort though, the two stack adds some originality to it.

Same setup I want, I'll probably go with 4500k. Not too down with the blue tint.
