Iron Man style LEDs + Demon eye + CF wrapped the amber reflector.
Big shout out to Marcus for his skills and letting me use his apartment.
Before


After








Lights on


Demon eye shines on the ground and leaves a weird image lol.

Headlights on

Will get some day time shots soon. Hard to get the right angle to get the LEDs straight on.

good job! looks like you drilled holes on the clear plastic and insert the little led cup holders on them i would've left the clear plastic CLEAR tho.
you can always drill it bigger and use 8mm leds with 180degree angle that way all the leds will look just as bright.

Thanks for the advice man. It was a big learning experience and lots of experiments. The company I used didn't offer 8mm, so it was either 3, 5, or 10. We did drill into the clear plastic as you said, but that was the only place I could see them going. I painted it because I didn't want the light shining through the clear and reflecting the light more than it was. It was difficult to angle them correctly because of the angle of the plastic for 5 of the LEDs. Can you explain a little more on the 180 degree angle you're talking about? Are you saying to not have them pointed straight on? Like I said it's difficult to capture the right angle on my cellphone due to blur and angle of the camera, but they all look just as bright in person. It took about 10 hours for the whole process and I didn't leave until 5am. If I were to do it again though it'd probably be a quarter of the time.
