280k mcd led headlights almost complete

[CobaltCpe]

hello,

here are my led headlights that i been working on. Im using 10mm 280k mcd super bright led that are wired in series. These are the brightest lights you can get on the internet. I painted the headlights flat black and have been letting them dry for a week now and testing out the leds with a 12v adapter with 1.2 amps. I used gorilla glue 2 part expoxy to mount the leds down as there weather resistant and can withstand 200 degree temperatures. I just have to put the lens back on now. More picks will come as i finish this project.

I will work on getting some once there in my car. Going to put the lens back on tomorrow and then put some sealer around the light for moisture. Then let them dry another week before they go in my car.

24hrs should more then enough drying time, what are you using? silicone?

prolly some black silicone around it after i put the lens back on just to make sure its sealed.

it definitely would look cool all the way up but the lens wouldn't fit back on as it would be to tight. I still love the look of what im doing.

yeah i hear ya. I got fe5 shocks/struts that are ready to go with my eibach prokit. Just need to get a rear sway bar and i should be good. After all this, im going to start building a turbo or supercharger kit.

 

[ff_drift_lol]

sweet, did you get an eibach front sway bar?

Then lens were put back on today and everything went good. I put them in the oven at 200 degrees for 17 minutes which made them back together pretty easy. Went to home depot and got some 100% silicone premium waterproof in black. I am putting a layer of that around the lens so for sure it will be moisture free. Now im thinking i want to wire them to a switch so going to see about picking one up tommorow.

do you think this would be a good switch to use.

 

[FASTL61]

really a switch is a switch.just depends on the look you want

that's a bit big i prefer flush mount switches makes it look so much cleaner and sometimes it may even look stock
