Hey guys!

so im in a spot where im not to sure on where to mount these LEDS in the headlights. ive decided to go with the Superflex LEDS.

im curious if where you mount you get a different look??... or maybe it doesnt matter.


here are a few pics to give you an idea of my headlights...

Notice the top picture the headlights came with two holes. kinda cool, but dont really know if the lights would work great there or not?

...and if i put them on the bottom of the headlight they seem pretty out in the open.

what do you think?? your 2 cents would really help me out!

Thanks!!

I'd use the existing holes or you can drill one in behind the reflector above the screw

^^I would just drill and mount them behind the reflector too. Those two slots/holes are actually vents and serve a purpose,so I wouldn't suggest blocking them off. icon_smile.gif

Mount them as far forward as possible, pointing back at the chrome reflective surfaces, this will give the best spread of the glow.

thanks guys!!

hmm. yea never thought of the holes as vents. they do have some weird special stickers on them so i guess ur right.

and cyber knight. when u say mount them as far forward as possible would this be on the bottom of the light? or the very bottom of the back of the light?
