the little light strip on the side of my headlight is disappointing to me. It is somewhat bright, but only at the top, is there any way i can make the whole strip light up as opposed to just the top of it??

I changed the 194 bulb to a PIAA 194 extreme white bulb and that helped. If you really wanted something cool, I have seem someone put a fluorescent light that went from the top to the bottom and it look really nice. Have not tried LEDs yet, but when the PIAAs die might go with some LEDs.

Correct...the one I saw was a tube. Had to be pretty small to fit into the headlight.

Now I am not a 12v pro, but here is an idea. You would need a Ballast too?

You should check out el wire or electroluminescent wire as it is called. Coolightwest is a good site.

That site is the best way to go you you dont have to email me begging like the other guy. They have a support number you can call they will help you with everything they will even do the work for you for only a few dollars so when you get it you should only have to connect the power and ground wire and secure the power inverters and that should be about it good luck.

Have you actually seen this done?

And, no one has to beg me for anything. I'll gladly point anyone in the right direction, as long as they can form a structured sentence and convey their thoughts and ideas using proper grammar and such.
