So i got my headlights redone...LEDs instead of EL wires and also the cover powder coated graphite instead of black

EL Wires



VS.

LED by itself

LED w/ HID

All lights (HIDs, LEDs, Turn Signal)

Haha, you have a blue turn signal like me. I'm going to change it to the chrome ones. I think you should too.

It's nice but I gotta be honest, I've always believed LEDs cheapen the look of a car. G35's with LED brake lights = bleh

To each his own I guess The rest of it is awesome!

Whenever I'm behind a LED brake light. This is how my mind goes:

Dooo doo duuu~~~ Oh shoot, look at the made-in-China look (this is referring to the new G35 LED tail-light). How many dots are there? Dot... Dot... Dot... Dot... Dot... GAHHHHHHH I WANT TO REAR-END THAT MOFO!

Does anyone feel the same way about LEDs looking like a grade-school project?

Hey, if that is what you like, I ain't going to object but I prefer uniformity not broken down pixels.

No man, I think it's just you LOL but it is a matter of taste and preference so one man's junk is another man's treasure I guess

I like your simplistic analysis of LED taillights.I like them however.

Anyways... Not too sure about the turn signal they look jumbled but once again I need a better processed pic of it, I might be completely off

Idk how i feel about those leds, it looks a little awkward during the daytime...

I think I preferred the EL bead you had before... Im still not sure though.

Do you get any condensation on the inside of the enclosures?
