Default Triangle or X?

i got my bumper painted and he sprayed my angel eyes so im ordering more LEDs to build a brighter set but I'm torn between a triangle or an X.

Help... I cannot restore my car's rice output to maximum until I decide.



btw im using 40,000mcd LEDs with 25 degree arc and .2a @ 3.4v undervolted to 3.0v.

Dude, i told you, Triangle ONLY works for Rotary cars. and I'd probably remove these messages, you don't want Tim or some other Rx-x driver stealing that idea for their fogs. You could make a couple of foglights for them for a nice price, I'm sure some will buy.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

that is the dumbest thing ive ever read. Triangles aren't copyrighted by rotary drivers and you cant see an engine when you are driving down the road so it has absolutely no bearing on appearance whether it's a rotary or not.


I like the spiral idea though - I'm looking for some type of mathematical formula to plot the lines so that both sides are identical.

ya but the rotary has triangles all over it and anyone that knows anything about cars would be able to put 2 and 2 together. Maybe you should swap a rotary in there and then do the traingle

my car has neon and led lights all over it, anyone who knows what a rotary is wouldnt take notice of my car in the first place.

focus, its about what looks the most unique and somewhat decent.

bro do the spiral...maybe the X but the spiral would be interesting...thus increasing your rice output to max level.....also if u put some stickers on the side of ur car it gives you another 50 Hp lmao

download a free cad program, like CadSTD, draw them, and print them.

You doofus, clearly what I was saying was that the triangles WORK BEST with a rotary car, Rx-7, Rx-8, etc. Putting them on your car is OK, it's not like it's illegal or anything or shouldn't be done like putting a giant Type-R sticker on your grand prix. I am just saying they look most badass on a rotary. I think you should go with the spirals or do a circle again since spirals are a lot of work.

If you can figure a system for having a constantly revolving spiral with a small electric motor and a simple ring for contact leads to provide the power to the LEDs, I am sure that would be the most gangster thing you could do. Otherwise, I think another set of angel eyes would be best.

I guess the X could work too, if you double pair the LEDs so the lines in the X's are thicker and thus not so flimsy and poopy looking.
