You can wire em up to whatever, but it'd be nice if it came on when you clicked you're turn signals or somethin like that

oznium has some pre wired tiny surface mount rgb leds, i just e-mailed um to see how i could hook them up without using a rgb controller, only thing is there on back order:S
and hopefully i can just wire the red the green and the blue all to different switches and then i can just flip one or a combination of the switches to get different colors, and all three switches on will be white, will just have to figure out where to mount them and hopethere bright enough
i pmed streetracinazin tosee where he mounts his but i doubt ill get a reply back..i sent him like three pms asking what kind of leds he uses for the audi mod...but o well, looks like these headlights arnt gonna be done for a while lol...will have to get some other mods going to keep me busy

Retrofits are where people who don't want to blind oncoming traffic with Plug-n-Play HID's take a Projector and add it in to the cobalt's headlight to focus the light and better use the output of the HID bulb that are used with projectors.
You can buy the product to accomplish this task from various people. There is a vendor here who does it, some members like myself do it and you can DIY if you buy the supplies and don't mind heating your headlight with an oven or heatgun to install the projectors.
Sorry for the Hijack of the thread, Overboostedss if you have more questions please don't hesitate to PM.
Now back to your regular scheduled thread.
^^wat he said, I used the same DIY kit from buyhids.com, but my finished product looks completely dif from the op's. I'm wanton to do another build an make it a lil more custom this time... I'm jus... lazy

Demon eyes are a trend that people take led's and add them to projector retrofits to make the lens of the projector glow (whatever color led) they add. In this case red (hence the demon eye)Retrofits are where people who don't want to blind oncoming traffic with Plug-n-Play HID's take a Projector and add it in to the cobalt's headlight to focus the light and better use the output of the HID bulb that are used with projectors.
