Headlights with Tube Switchbacks Plus SMD Halo on Carmad Black Inserts

I was contacted through my youtube channel from a guy in the states and at great expense he sent me his heavy ugly USDM LHD nippled headlights.

 

Although very well packed one broke in transit, the casing and the glass :no: which rendered the matching pair useless, a claim is being made. The only option was for me to carry out a conversion on some Jspec lights hence making them suitable for LHD, these apparently are desirable over the pond :thumbup1:.

 

The buyer wanted halos and a tube switchback light onto a carmad black glossed insert. The idea if you didn't know of a switchback is to light up white so therefore a kind of DRL, under signal the white goes off completely and amber flashes, turn signal off and there is a very slight delay before white returns.

 

My idea is to have the halo lit 100% of the time but the tube can if you wanted just be used as a normal indicator or just a normal DRL without the amber part working at all, all depends where the wires are connected to and is a customer preference so on the video i have tried to show all the possibilities.

 

The individual leds of the halo don't show up so well on film nor does the amber in the tube but in real life both look quite superb :thumbup:. The tube may not be to everyone's taste but i think once fit and therefore set further apart appearance will be improved and these will make a very nice running light as they're quite bright as per modern cars.
