AzNmiKex215 will become famous soon enough

i have done it.. street glow wires into my TYC projectors.

i DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

#1 opening headlights and resealing them airtight is hard
#2 street glow neon wires do not light up as brightly as i hoped
#3 the transformer to wire connector is pretty shitty... one my mine disconnects after driving over a few bumps.
#4 after having it for about 6 months i have disconnected both becuase one stopped working. the wiring is still around the projector.

the radioshack LED method will be much brighter. but the risk of having them not work after say 6 months is not worth it.
i do admit it was sick as hell looking at night

yours look pretty good. is that with the lowbeam on or off? on the TYC i put the streetglow neon wire around the highbeam, still the "angeleye" wasnt bright enuff to be seen at night with all the street lights and such.

it was cool as hell to see them blink when arming and disarming my alarm though.
