    I've been working on an FX-R Retrofit for Jtaugner & so far they've turned out awesome. I'm just putting some finishing touches on it before they get assembled & would like some input.

    Here's my question to everyone... Is this too much crazy lighting whiz-bling stuff for a car that's supposed to be a classic hotrod? I think it looks great but we're worried if it'll look good on the car or not. The problem is I don't have access to a Challenger locally right now to test fit & see for sure.

    Here's some pics to visualize of the car they're going on.
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Choice #1- Here's the HID's & the stock turn signals.

    Choice #2- Here's with the LED backlights on with all the other lighting (this is the one jtaugner likes but is worried how it'll look).
    [​IMG]

    Same with the HID's off (like it would be with running lights only)
    [​IMG]

    Same but what it would look like with the blinker modded so it would stay off (only comes on when turn signal is activated)
    [​IMG]

    Choice #3- We can also do an even more bling-tastic version with led's halos.
    [​IMG]

    Choice #4- Or super pimp-baller status with larger full Halo's

    Here's my personal opinions:
    #1- Simple & Cool- A really safe bet.
    #2- A little more subtle with the diffused backlighting. It's different then the audi/ bmw look.
    #3- I think it looks sweet but might be too much for a classic hotrod.
    #4- I think it's too much

    Chime in & let us know what you're thoughts are by voting in the poll.

    I see where you're coming from. Without seeing them on the car, it's really hard to decide if it's overkill. Wish I could be of more assistance LOL...

    While I was playing with different combo's & send over pics, we both changed our minds about 10 times & decided we needed some help. :D

    Led opinion

    HI, I HAVE A 2009 CHALLENGER, AND I'VE DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO CHOICE #2, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LED'S MATCHING THE COLOR OF THE TURN SIGNAL. :magic: NICE JOB
