for headlights if you want them to be super bright
use Maglight replacement bulbs I saw them at canadain tire but the states sould have them too they are a little smaller then normal leds and run off of 1.5v or others 3v
If you have ever had a maglight you know how bright they are
I was also thinking if painted them with candy apple or something simmiler they would make great underglow

excellent idea Lord, never thought of the mag lights, those puppies are bright!

I was thinking about semi-transparent paints (tint paints) or even stain glass type paints over bulbs to achieve a different color.

who's gonna try it first?

damn man i was thinkin of maglight bulbs but well haven't really seen them (haven't been lookin hard either) they were going onto my 4x4 but instead i chose a massive amount of led's.

yea that sounds cool too, I've always wanted to do a bit that just uses an ignorant amount of lights. I'm kinda hoping to melt whatever is in my path lol

a good way to cover LED's if you don't want them permanent is tape. you can take scotch tape and color it with a sharpie... add a few layers of tape, and voila!

gaffers tape is perfect for that. light doesnt go through it and it conforms to little areas.

no, I meant so that light shines thru, you know? like use a blue, green, red, sharpie for different colors
