    Will Led Strips Melt In The Stock Headlight Housing?

    I want to do a custom headlight job, with the 'halo' look without the ccfl rings ( i dont like the look of them ). And when I do so, I was going to put leds around the light like this ===> and i want to run the headlights with the leds on as well. So will they melt while the headlight is on?

            the leds should be fine, as long as your running a HiD, alot of people think HiDs run hot, when in fact they are much cooler than halogens. It should work for whatever you have in mind. only real way to find out is to try it, good luck!

                if the light bulb is close to the led it might melt the led in time

                  What about if the LED strip is ran and wrap around on top of the headlight housing instead? Would the halogen bulb be hot enough to go through the housing and melt the LED strip on the outside?

                  Thanks.

                          Thanks. It looks like the LED strips are inside the housing. But your low beam bulbs don't look like halogen? They are too white. Is that right?
                          Thanks.

                            They are HID's. But they still never got hot either way.
