Appreciate these photos in particular. For everyone who uses plug and play HID kits, these are the "Squirrel Finders" you must bend down or you'll blind oncoming traffic. They are designed to reflect a little bit of light up in halogen projectors to light up signs.

As everyone can see can see its very hard to get your fingers in there to bend down unless you take everything apart.

I went led so it can be turned off, both would be awesome. But I did this mainly as an accent while the car is parked.

Thinking about doing this but also seeing if i can add another blue led in there and hook it up to a 3 way switch. That way i can get a red or blue or purple effect.

You mean you really only care for the red and blue and alternating effect right? LoL

As mentioned on a black car this is deadly looking. It's silly and cool at the same time.
Good work

The "squirrel finders" in this headlight are fairly strong due to design, compared to other projectors. Would find it hard to bend without taking it apart.
