I have a broken headlight on my impala and its just so happened a guy I work with had a new set of blue led halo headlights for it that he only wanted 25 bucks for. I picked them up just because they were cheap, but then I got thinking. Each headlight has two blue led Halos and three Blue led dots on the outer edge. What If I wired them to a flasher? Run them solid for driving then switched to a pattern for responding. Anyone ever seen anything like it? would it just be a waste of time?
Halo Headlights
- Thread starter lightthenight
- Start date
there's a company in New Orleans that does custom LED and CCFL lighting and installed halos in a Dodge Charger connected to a flasher.
if your lights are LEDs, then I don't see why you couldn't do the same thing. I'd use a SPDT relay, with the 87A terminal powering the halos in normal operation and the 87 terminal powering the flasher- that way you can turn off the halos and engage the flasher with one switch.

+1. i'm surprised someone on the board hasn't installed and posted something like that (at least from what i've seen)
If I saw a vehicle running hot with flashing halos coming up behind me a couple things would (could) happen 1. I would brake check them..hard. 2. I would not take it seriously. That is for a car show not emergency responses. My two cents.

In my experience, that's what happens pretty much all the time with ANY emergency lights.
My main concern would be the quality of the parts themselves - I wouldn't trust the typical PepBoys/Autozone/JC Whitney ricer LEDs for a critical application, and the high-end stuff is wicked pricey.

Stendec....for once...I agree with your statement and actually laugh. But I didnt mean it in THAT sense :lol:
Besides, aren't blue lights to the front on a POV just driving down the road and not going to an emergency illegal? I know their are vehicles running around with the blue headlights, but that doesn't make them legal.
