Where do you stay in long beach? theres a meet on tuesday nights in stanton right next to autobacs. A couple of months ago I remember this guy was there and he was showing pictures of his friends kouki which had custom headlights like that. Looked sick.

Just like the one BRO said, bigger LEDs with more space apart and you nailed it.

Good work.

I live over here by where the 710 and the 91 meet. Usually everyone shows up around 9 o'clock. I haven't been in a couple of weeks but ill be going this week I'm pretty sure.

the headlights arent on in any of the pictures... the 3rd picture is just with the LEDs on... but the pictures were taken with a camera phone so they look a lot brighter than they actually are.. looks a lot me subtle than they do in the picture

Oh boy what have I started

Just kidding dude. Looks good and you hid the wires well, a bit too simple for my tastes. You just wait till my retro is done.

pics with a better cam when you get a chance.

Nope the kind of strip he used will break long before it reached the degree of turn you would need to pull that off.

there you go that will bend any way you want, without breaking and its also separated enough to give the exact same look. Good luck

I have no idea what kind of corners they are.. got them off ebay like a year ago for 50 bucks... whatever they are they go really well with the EDM headlights..
