Supramade Lenses & LED's in headlights?
Whats up guys, i was wondering if it were possible to put a strip of led's in the sc headlights like in the is250 & is350 headlights? I've asked this before awhile ago and only a couple replied & said that there might not be room but i was looking at my lights the other day and there looks like theres plenty of space between the projector/bulbs and the lense itself. has anyone else done this or confirm that it will not work?
Also, I have a pair of supramade lenses and was going to swap them onto my headlights so they would have that "de-lined" look to them, but then realized the high beams would still have the "lined" look. Does anyone have any pics with the supramade lenses that i can see? I just think it would look weird/off to have de-lined headlights when you have the high beams right next to them.
help me out guys
thanks

Do it if ya like it, but on the SC I think it would look horrid to put led strips in there. You have to have a car that is designed with that stuff in mind. Like the Altezza with it's sharp lines and clear lights, updated styling, etc.... The SC is just not a good candidate for it.
I mean it would be like putting them on this.
Nothing like the Sc, but NEITHER are designed with led headlights in mind. It looks wrong.
Right, like cars that are designed to use them and it blend in. It kills me when people update the style of something like lights that are made for todays cars on a 20 or 30 yr old vehicle. It looks weird man......
Don't let me stop you, but it just doesn't work.

Not a big fan of a led strip inside the sc headlight. I remember someone had customized, leds around the projector only. Now that i thought was really nice. I just dont like the simple strip on the bottom.

Is there a difference between your l.e.d.s and the l.e.d.s in the IS-F?
Your l.e.d.s look like a strip of light & alot brighter where as the IS-F led's look dimmer and doesn't create as much as a shine/reflect in the housing.
Good to see someone's done something similar though
