Default Headlight accents

I spent quite a few hours today wiring up some LED's into the headlight housings. They look sick so I thought I was post some pictures so outher people could see. Also the space above the cupholder, I cut a piece of sheet metal, painted it (to match the rest of the interior) and drilled holes for switches. Eventually I am going to other switches in there and then add other LED's on my car.

Its all plastic on the inside of the housing. You just have to drill through the front of the headlights because if you drill through the back you'll end of drilling through the parobolic mirror (which moves) so that would screw up your alignment. I drilled the holes, used compressed air to blast the plastic shavings out of the housing, and then mount the led's and glue gun them.

Headlights look pretty sick, I'm not all about painting your interior though. To each his own.
