ok so i need some input
so ive decided f' hids! i want leds
but not just ne leds, i have found a 10 Watt 900 lumen (legit!) led
ive been going over possible uses with an ex-member webby banned cause he thought he hacked his account (WEBBY, honestly hes not even capable of hacking, i think u guys should kiss and make up lol)
but neways
the led has a perfect 140 degree output, BAD for headlights
BUT if i can find a reflector OR projector system that would work, now were talking
a few ideas:
projector: the standard HID projector has a cutoff shield. my proposal is to use heatsink compound and standard high/cold tempglue to weld 2-4 leds (2 leds = stock output, 4 > HIDs) and have them facing INTO the reflector on the projector. Now i dont have any projectors so i cant just try one to see if it works even slightly, if u can try it (even with a 1 watt led) please let me know
reflector: recently, our friends at Pilot, came up with 3 watt led fogs.... obviously not enough lumens to light jack s***
but im considering desoldering the leds i found from their stars and replacing the 3 watt with 2 of these, the system, similar to the projector idea i have, faces an led inwards towards the rear of the housing, and reflects the light around the led PilotAutomotive.com : Product : Cyber White series
thats the link there, now u know what i mean by led pointing inward if ur confused
if someone has a projector, id like to try this idea (just one sitting around)
pm me and ill show u what im asking for lol
the last idea
Refractor system:
ok basically a piece of plastic, that accepts 2-4 of these leds (linearly) and changes their output from 140 degrees, to one needed for headlights or fog lights (basically like what u see on a standard task force led flashlight that is 1 or 3 watts, if u dont know, go to Lowes, go to the flashlight section at the cash registers and pick up a 1 watt flashlight from Task Force, look at the plastic in the head thats see thru, but is not clear :dance
this would require a manufacturer to be involved in the process, one thats good with optics :SHOCKED:
that means PRICY!
so to me if the projector idea works, its the BEST idea
ideas are welcome
