As you may know, I was looking for a broken headlight to "have a play with" Well having seen how easy it was to remove the glass thanks to the pictures posted the other day, I have had a bit of a play!!
Comments please

Don't know? you can't see them when the headlights are on and they are fitted to BMWs so they must be otherwise I think Top Gear might have had something to say by now....."Police today arrested 65,000 BMW drivers for having illegal lights!!" I don't remember that one on Sky News

Very Stephen King ish
That looks pretty unique Baz...in Scorp terms anyway.
Is that some sort of LED or did you take a hacksaw to a BMW?

What are they? Did you fabricate them or are they a legit part for BMW's that you fitted. Looks cool.. although I do remember reading that any blue light facing forwards on a UK vehicle is illegal unless you are a police vehicle.
Having said that I have the Ghia type indicators with no fogs but a space for them and a clear lense. I toyed with the idea of cutting out the backs and fitting a couple of those blue strobes that you see on the bottom of household alarm boxes... 
Fit a switch on the dash somewhere and put the frighteners up the100mphplus beemers that scorch past on the motorway.

If you take the glass off the head light, there is a circular lens. I just fitted a set of what they call "Angel Eyes" off a BMW and wired them into the sidelight circuit. Took all of 20 minutes once I read how to take the glass off. When you put the glass back on, half of the ring is covered up giving the half moon effect!!
I like it anyway.
Must be an age thing catching up on me. 41 tomorrow and going on 20!!

Vulcan,
they are actually two solid plastic rings with holes drilled in each end with a white LED fitted in each they only look blue, just like them annoying HID lamps they fit to some of them school runners. the light cast from each end meets in the middle, giving the effect of a ring of light. They are the same as fitted to BMWs and have the same LEDs although they are an aftermarket unit.
I'll take some pics with the glass off if anyone wants to see

These were off EBay....I think I paid about 15 quid but they were sold as a set of 4 and needed separating and a bit of soldering.

I like them
Must attempt to find some, shame you can't show red lights to the front as I think my Black scorp with evil red eyes would look fantastic.

Daven,
I think the under car lights are a little too Chav for me. (Sorry Richard!!) because I am now officially old (41 today) according to my 18 year old layabout son!!
Glad you like them though!
Vulcan, get the size off the guy before you buy because you have to be able to get the glass back on with the ring in place. The ones I got were not a full ring, it was open at one end and could be closed a bit more to make it fit
Baz
I will take a picture of one of the ones left over later on

Under car lights, now who would have such a childish silly thing on such a sophisticated car like the Scorpio - especially ones which have a variety of running sequences you can play with (just like some xmas tree lights)
Now that really would be silly wouldn't it
eh Craig?
