Another headlight black out, with a twist.
 
So I got bored, decided to black the headlights and add demon eyes. Haven't seen the demon eyes on the twins yet. If it has been done I apologize for posting another headlight blackout.

Aesthetically, I love it! But wouldn't this cause the headlights to shine red? I believe that's illegal everywhere (correct me if I'm wrong). If the cops in your area are lenient about lighting laws, then that's cool. But I wouldn't be able to get away with that here.

unless its for "off road" or "show" use only? would definitely give a cool terminator eye effect if its a nice red lol

i wish i had the guts to do stuff like this.. u guys got some chops!

I was wondering the legality of it as well with the lights being on.

And no it's not illegal, you paint the plate red and the projector just shows that red instead of silver.. I've seen black, green, blue.. Of course the lighter the color the more you'll notice it

I want to see what they look like on! BAD ASS DUDE!

Gixxer, looks good, I did mine with LED's on the reflector instead of paint. They will be wired to a switch so they can be turned off, and they are really for show only, I knew i'd get the riot act on that. They are basically for leaving on when parked at the boulevard on friday and saturday nights.

Gixxersixxerman 01-01-2013 10:55 PM

Gotcha.. I've seen that done, I seen the led left on for days to with no battery drain lol.. I just went the paint method and with the angle eyes on mine light up a bit.. You mount the led below??? And what size led?? Autozone kit, or a circuit you made yourself

Dude, I'm a 4 hour drive, but bring some brews and lets do some shit to that ride.

Hardrock4445 01-01-2013 10:57 PM

Below, autozone stuff, its a 194 red LED and a 194 holder

I was going to do this months ago but i got tied up, was also going to do LED. Where did you mount the led for the best light output?
