Painted Headlights & Switchbacks
So i took the plunge this weekend and got a **** ton of LEDs to swap out all the regular bulbs on the whole car. It also inspired me to paint the lights. Here is the pictures of my progression

Standard eBay units. These are exactly what i got and i also bought a ton of other LEDs so i could trade out all the parking, license plate, headlight and interior lighting to LED

Ill get a video or a picture soon. They look good. I have been driving around with the parking lights on because they are like bad ass DRLs for all intensive purposes.

Haha they where recommended to me from bass and they look more subtle than the ebay ones but I might just get some and give them a try what's the bulb number again? If you have a link to the ones you got I would appreciated

LEDs pull almost no amperage so you will have to wire in the resistor. You can pay an arm and a leg to get the leds with the resister inside... not worth it.

Do switchbacks stay on the entire time the car is running, or will they turn off with the headlights? Ive wanted some but I think they would look weird during the day with red halo's.
basically I'm wondering if its possible to only have the white part of the switchbacks on at night.
