Exaaactly right. But it's something found on Audi R8 . closest I could find were these.

Sorry to burst your bubble but those aren't lasers like the Audi R8, they're just LED's set up to look like a laser light from one end to the other of the boomerang. Think like how a neon light works, a power source on one end and the light transmits from there to the end of the bulb. They for sure as hell don't shoot out a white laser beam for visibility like the R8 does.

If you think that's what they do, I'd suggest doing some homework, you're not even close to what the R8 has. I promise you there are no such products like the Audi R8's laser lights available for anything, universal or otherwise. You would have to spend several (hundred) thousand dollars on a custom engineered and built kit.

They're lasers and lasers are srs biznis.

You would have to spend several (dozen) thousand dollars on a custom built kit.

Exactly that's what I thought it seems like some sort of CCFL tube , the seller it's tricking here. By the way do you have some specific brands for FRS or Toyo86 GT headlights, i'm trying to find ones which look decent on my car I got an argento 86, which clear chrome headlights not even winjet ones. I wanted to replace for these ones which will make it look much better.

But I think they look kindda cheap. I also want these ones to make it work with a xenon kit or a good LED kit but it's hard to find a decent LED kit with good lumens output and besides that for a LED to reach the same distance as xenon-hids you need an optic enclosure designed speifically for the led die.
I do realise you're into the subject and have knowledge so let's start discussing

I know a little bit about everything and I happen to know a bit about LED's, HID's and Lasers. I don't actually know how to make them and I wouldn't even try. The technical challenge of making an LED system bright enough to use as a headlight is too difficult unless you're a mechanical and electrical engineer. I am sure that to make an LED headlight you need a fancy lens. The housing and heat sinks required for LED's, and especially a laser, is technically challenging in an already hot engine bay.

If you want a laser system, you also need either an HID or LED system as a laser cannot spread out very wide, it's very focused by default, which is why they work great at extreme distance, you actually need a lens that spreads the laser out because it's so focused. The HID or LED system will be your standard low beams and high beams and the Laser your extreme distance low beams. A laser system high beam would blind anybody looking directly at it, like a hand held laser does.

Sorry, it's just not in your future, unless you're rich, in which case just buy an Audi R8 /problemsolved

Dude, you asked a very specific question and got very specific answers. I refer you back to post #2 as a start.

Thanks for such a complete answer, and taking your time to discuss the matter. Listen if you had to find a good LED option for your FRS what would you go for? . All this understanding how leds work requiring a special optic framework to focus the beamlight in order to achieve a maxmum distance.
I've seen what you can buy on the market its mostly CREE do you know any other quality brand. ?
Thanks

Impractical to adapt at this point.

BMW states on its i8 Concept Web site: "The intensity of laser light poses no possible risks to humans, animals or wildlife when used in car lighting. Amongst other things, this is because the light is not emitted directly, but is first converted into a form that is suitable for use in road traffic. The resulting light is very bright and white. It's also very pleasant to the eye and has very low energy consumption." To prove its point, BMW even had one of its own engineers, and then journalists, peer into the lens of a lit headlight laser assembly. Both emerged from the experiment with their visual acuity none the worse for wear

If there was an LED system available I'd buy it only if I had to, I'm satisfied with HID's. I don't know of any specific LED's that could work for you.
