If the car is fitted with Xenons it would work?

Looks just like the Xenon lamp is on though?

mikeythemini · Oct 17th, 2007, 04:41 PM

This car has xenons - I know what you mean that those segments light up when the headlights are on but..
These are on whenever the ignition is on so they are like the day running lights on the audi R8.
Designed to look cool in the day & dusk when your sidelights are on

Another question Mikey....

Looking at the pics...the lower bulb (main beam i think) looks blue....What type of bulb is that..? and do u sell them...?

Reason i ask is i want to upgrade my main beam to zeon type.

mikeythemini · Oct 17th, 2007, 07:53 PM

The bulb in the main beam is one I sell - xenon enhanced - looks blue when off but very white when on & 50% brighter
On offer - £12 + vat pair - NewMINIStuff.com

monkeynuts · Oct 17th, 2007, 08:18 PM

not exactly sure what to look at here

are we to assume the first pic is with lights on as standard

the second pic just the dots around the centre bulb (the centre bulb being off) ?

ScottyBoy · Oct 17th, 2007, 08:24 PM

Those look really nice and from watching Top Gear on sunday i was actually thinking of something like this, but i have pre-facelift xenons and i guess this wouldnt work.

Both pics the headlight is off
The little dots are illuminated by the headlamps as standard. What I have done is put LED's behind each dot to light them up when the headlights are off
I will get some more pics Thursday when I have found my camera - those were from my phone

cool concept, but for what reason ?

Similar to what Audi have done on the R8.

paulteix · Oct 18th, 2007, 06:47 AM

very cool idea

ALD0 · Oct 18th, 2007, 10:36 AM

If they are anything like the Audi LED type lights would be interested, on your first pic though it looks like the Xenon bulb is on aswell...

mikeythemini · Oct 18th, 2007, 10:42 AM

Xenon bulb is not on in either pic its reflected light from the LED's. Will get some more pics on/off etc when I find my camera

baskers · Oct 18th, 2007, 11:38 AM

Wow - superb mod - seriously cool.
