If you have seen a Ferrari 458 or a Corvette C7, you'll eventually notice that they stylistically abandoned the idea of light rings. Instead, those designers run a line of LED lights done the sharp lines that serve to accent the car's angles and highlight the head light wells. Originally, I planned to fashion rings around the GTM headlights. As time went on and I received some input from friends, I slowly abandoned this idea.
It has been 2 years since I purchased the LED strips and a move from Minnesota to South Carolina. A lot of time has past since I thought about this. I have had time to reconsider the design decisions. Now that I am working on the final product for the head light wells, I needed to make a final decision.
My original idea was to ring the headlights. |
All I needed to do was drill a hole installed a rubber grommet. |
These light strips tie into the DRL circuit. Today I discovered that all the hard work I put into making the wiring flexible and adaptable payed dividends. It was a piece of cake to tie these strips into the DRL circuit. The strip lays flat along the edge of the head light well. Once the clear cost sets up, I will attach the strip using 3M 8115 panel bond
The light strips powered by independent batteries to test the the look. |
