Next mod: LED Projector illumination... to do or not to do?
 
While taking apart my headlights to install CCFL angel eyes I got chance to test my next idea for mod. It took me about an hour to figure out best LED position/reflection point to have perfect illumination and not to interrupt my new 5300Lm 50W HID setup.

So what do you think guys? Will I get a lot of police attention?

how well does it illuminate the road? does it blind other drivers? ;) strange...two posts...off topic: was anybody else unable to access x5world at first?

That looks quite blue so I think you are eventually going to get a ticket or worse.

Very illegal and likely to draw the wrath of LE. Unless permitted by law you must restrict forward facing lights to white or yellow colors. Blue is reserved for emergency vehicles only.

Reflector size/dia.

Listen Sedoy,
Just once you've opened the Headlights, please advise the DIA./Size of reflector shown on the picture.
Got an idea to substitute it with reflector from 4.8 (got two on the shelf)...

Guys I think you're missing the point here. This is a small blue LED with
resistor (to power from 12V) which produce the blue light to illuminate
the projector. It doesn't illuminate the road at all and obviously not
going to blind other drivers. It's just aesthetics mod.
