....I might even add a fogging machine with dry ice and it will be very mysterious!

Guys this looks to be very promising and small, handheld! I would buy this in a heartbeat if it wasn't $700

Oh well, I guess Thursday I can only have the lighting to put you guys in a trance of ecstacy

With all this SWAG that I got going on now in my engine bay with the leds, I was maybe thinking of doing this...What do you guys think?

so?confused · 08-15-2011, 10:58 AM

are those lights used to kill flies?

CJ421 · 08-15-2011, 11:03 AM

What is the approximate horsepower gain with these lights?

Damnmm!!

I'll probably remove my E90Post sticker before I do this otherwise my engine block might explode from all the HP gains.

If the lights actually helped see better under the hood at night, may be a good idea. I remember my dads older GM cars had lights under the hood, so you could at least see wtf you were doing when it broke down! lol

That's my point. Before all cars had some sort of lights underneath the hood. Now it's considered JDM because it's LEDs. Go figure! Lol. I like it the more I see it and can't wait to wire in 2 more strips but in blue. The car feels so much quicker from a stop for some strange reason!! Butt dyno feels about 15 hp added since the lights!!

cwn23 · 08-17-2011, 04:05 PM

got my blue leds delivered! JDM! It looks really nice and the blue is spectacular!

Alpine Whiteboy · 08-17-2011, 04:09 PM

Its not!

700 bucks is too expensive...If it was under 100 bucks I would actually as a goof buy it and install it in the engine bay!
