    LED's are almost always dimmer than regular bulbs, just get a set of HID's if you want bright lights. I guarantee those will suck balls for your main lighting. It won't be safe. The only things I would recommend using LED's for would be running lights or turn signals, thats it.

    Remember who you guys are talking too (Projector headlight fiasco). Safety is definitely not a major concern for this kid. As long as he thinks he can see fine he's happy.

    I say go for the LED headlights. For $30, I'm sure they're bright and DOT approved. They wont be any worse than the magnifying glasses you have in there now.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    They have a new civic with blue LED headlights on YouTube. For show, it's very badass, but not recommended for regular use since the light output is very low. Comparable to flashlights lol look into it

    Led's give out whats called diffused light, which is nice for atmosphere but not for visibility. now its says it is stronger than traditional bulbs but the difference between hard and diffused light will make a huge difference, still wanna see what they look like though. so go for it

    Maybe the "projectors" will magnify the output of these LED's, but I highly, highly doubt it. save the money and get some nice switchback led's for your turn signals.
