*jaw drops.

You are a custom lighting pioneer man. I'm always impressed with your work. Simply clean and beautiful. A job perfectly well done.

How did you mount the LED strips inside that area so that they stay taut? Also, I'm assuming epoxy will hold up to the 210 degrees in the oven when you resealed the headlights?
(I'm working on something like this but not nearly as sweet, but your answers to those questions could help, thanks!)

i'll get pics with projectors off later and a video too.

the led strips i bought are from lck-led.com and they come with this 90degree plastic holder that holds the strip firm and i just epoxied that holder to the inside edge of the blackhouse part, only draw back is that these will not come off again because of the epoxy, so make sure everything is lined up good first.

i was only able to take 3 pics with my camera before it broke on my trip to Kansas so the first 3 are my pics, and the rest are taken by other people.

if you've ever tried to take pics of LEDs, then you know how hard it is to capture the proper brightness/color while getting the details of each led so thats why these pics are dark, so you can see the detail, if the brightness was left up, you'd just see a big splash of light.

AMAZING work. I must say that the switchback LEDs that you've done look flawless.
