Head Front Headlamp Strip

BlueAstra · 5th December 2007, 12:50

Not sure if this has come up before, but do you think that Honda missed a trick by not illuminating the whole of the front headlamp strip? The main headlights are at the edge, and the centre section could have some low power bulbs in them to give the impression of a full strip of lights across the front of the car. It would also illuminate their logo in the middle!

Its been talked about on here before.
IMHO it would look horrendous
Like Night Rider ???..LOL

Max Power!!

Now theres an idea - a Knight Rider strip behind the glass.

LOL

Behave Kremmen

May look ok if done well. Dont think it would be too hard to get some lights set up in the grill

Jack The Lad. · 5th December 2007, 19:54

What would the Old Bill think about it though. ?

Kremmen · 6th December 2007, 08:02

Especially if it then started rolling off down the hill on its own as though KITT was in charge

That would be appaling! - My daughter already calls my car "The Cylon" - putting a KITT strip in would just confirm it!

Brodick · 6th December 2007, 11:32

That would just be wrong

Seirrah · 6th December 2007, 11:35

Maybe someone with time and photoshop skills can give it a go

BlueAstra · 7th December 2007, 13:23

Seemed to have wandered into ScFi here. I was initially thinking of just a few white bulbs to give the impression of a continuous strip of light. Might look quite cool. I guess the addition of a forward facing attack laser might be beneficial in some road rage situations.

and what is wrong with that

Dimplyred · 7th December 2007, 18:02

It would look terrible, in my humble opinion!!!!

FWH · 8th December 2007, 16:28

Illegal?

ritchie_perriam · 9th December 2007, 00:06

i think it shouldnt be illegal as long as it is illuminated white. it would definatly be illegal if it was blue or red!

it may look good with some white leds illuminating the whole thing the same colour as the sidelights. then the front would look like it has 1 huge light! but u never know till u try i suppose!
