LEDs are the future. They last longer, and are brighter per per watt. Plus you can make em into cool shapes. Get used to them.

I think the ones on the new Hyundais are cool, although it's a German thing, not bad.

They're fine, but I'm sick of seeing prats with 10 year old cars plastering them all over the place.



Bullshit like this is just ridiculously out of place, stop iiiitttttt







Throw LED strips in the bin, along with HIDs and plastidip.

The technology itself isn't evil but it's all been abused, so abused.

I saw a black GK the other day with GREEN led strips on the bottom of the headlights. Looked ridiculous.



One thing about the car scene is that it's difficult now to be unique or set yourself apart because the second you do something that no one else does or has, it goes into being mass produced or copied so everyone else can do it.

LEDs are being used as DRL for many cars now. Longer lasting, easy to see in daylight, less draw of power, but there's a difference between unnecessary Auto Zone type strips randomly placed and the DRL usage that some manufacturers have implemented
