LUX Rings 2.0 ?????

So i've been playing around in the work shop and i think that i make make a return of the Lux Rings. This time i want to use brighter LED's and make them a differnt color, more of a 6000k color.

I made some quick tests today and it looks like i can get the color right, but the intensity isnt quite there yet. This is going to be a long project so dont expect anything anytime soon, Aka at least a month. I need to find the right parts, re-design everything, Test, Test, Test, and then build, That is, if the interest is there.

I would still be shooting for around $130 maybe in price, Maybe lower if i can get the parts cheeper.

What does everyone think?

on the e46 its is a halo that goes around the light. A smart design would be to somehow feed a halo threw the angel eyes tube in the headlight and that would give the e46 brightness on our e90's

Sorry if I'm joining into an old thread [with potentially outdated information (?)], but I just learned about the LUX mod and would be interested if you are still designing them, mds82.
