Front Headlamp Strip

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!

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

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!

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.

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!
