Right now I only have one just till I get everything else installed then Im doing a small tight cluster of 4 soldered in series in each headlight.
I experimented with wiring blue and UV in series but they burnt up.
I really want 2 colors in there, but that would mean 2 more wires and I dunno if I have the room for that.

I'll put up pix when I do the cluster.

hey game, so you just did this mod? how long? b/c i think the heat would end up messing something up? melt plastic around wires and wires short or maybe melt the led.... or if you have the connections soldered then melt the solder?

Right now all I have is one in each headlight facing the reflector but when its all said and done Im thinking about gong with 3 blue and 3 UV so the headlight is 2 colored and maybe blue in the turn signal.

This is how it looked the other night, with only one LED in each and 1 set of green cathodes.
I kinda like it subtle like that but Im gonna end up switching them out whenI do the UB kit install.

Has anyone installed them in an integra? I'm looking to do that but not really sure how to go about it.

I was worried about that too. But I got em aimed down away from the bulb so I havent had any trouble so far.
I'd rather risk burning them out than having holes in the metallic finish of the headlights. In the daytime it would look like a##.

This weekend when i have some spare time Imo take apart my headlight and wet sand the the clear plastic to remove all blemishes and while its apart Im gonna ber looking for some grooves or lips that will better point the LED at the reflector without comprimising the chrome or risking melting the wires.

Also thinking about painting the trim around the reflectors flat black ( Blackout style) while its all apart.

headlights arent that much and if you drill it right, you wont see a quarter inch bulb in it.
