    SGT Taco and I got the URD 7th Inj kit done up yesterday. Still need to get pictures done up.

    Ping is gone as far as I can tell. Still have to install the fuel pump, 2.2" pulley and short-throw shifter.

    Amazing what a little boost can do...

    Stuff and things that make it better.
    Flipped the U-bolts, relocated the shocks, boxed the frame and added a new muffler (reusing some of the old pipe :rolleyes:).

    What color LEDs should I get for the demon eye on my new retrofit? Blue, Green, Purple, Red, or Yellow?

    Considering the demon eye mod is red.... Haha

    The rest aren't demon eye, even though the only difference is color.

    I personally like just orange halos and everything else black.

    Wrong

    Demon eyes aren't halos. You have halos. Demon eyes are an LED light that lights up the actual projector lens.

    You can have halos and demon eyes. And they don't have to be red

    You misunderstood my post.

    I know the difference between halos and demon eyes.

    And technically, the original demon eye mod was just the cutoff shield within the projector was painted red. Only recently has the led been considered the demon eye mod ;)

    I was making a statement about mine where I painted the cutoff shields black so that when my HIDs weren't on the projectors had a darker look to them so that everything was black except the halos.

    Read what I just posted, I know the difference.

    Like I said the actual demon eye mod is red. The rest are just variations.

    Pretty sure the original demon eyes used CCFL halos not LEDs.

    Nope. The demon eye mod used absolutely no lights. Just the shield within the projector was painted red so the when the lens magnified what's behind it, the lens looked red.

    Variations included adding a red LED and then other colors as well.
