My friends have been asking me how to make LED headlights ever since they found out I can hack up some electronic stuff.  Well, LEDs are pretty easy to me since I’ve dealt with them a lot but I won’t tell you how to do it, there’s a guy who made an instructable for that.

The first image shows how things look right now: two upper ‘edge’ arrays, each with 21 5mm LED (pointed forward, 5 degrees down and 5 degrees outwards), a central array of 60 LEDs at top density (pointed straight forward, replacing the twelve LED array around the Hyundai symbol

Posted on January 15, 2008 by max

Wow, this protective bubble will change the way you park forever!

Maybe they can make it bigger and we can even host a party inside the bubble.

The capsule itself is made of super-tough, 10 mil PVC that’s not only anti-static and flame retardant, but is also impervious to oil, gas and antifreeze. Once you lay the base out on the floor, you simply park your vehicle on top and then zip

Visualeyes launches Rayzer – another set of Headlights that go on the rear-view mirror.

Posted on December 15, 2007 by max

No exterior modifications needed on car!

In contrast to conventional auxiliary lights, Rayzer is posit

Posted on October 7, 2007 by max

Check out some of these wacky ZAP cars that run on battery. Really cool lookin’

Xebra Xero’s do not attempt to behave like other vehicles. They are unique. They are quiet, yet agile. Imagine a world filled with silent Xebra Xero’s instead of noisy internal combustion engines. The ZAP Xebra Xero is the offspring of more than three decades of thought and evolution. This vehicle was created as a breed by itself. Because the use and purpose of electric vehicles are different than gas cars, the wheel did indeed need to be reinvented. N

Wii DIY HACK – Using your Wiimote to measure your car’s acceleration!

Posted on October 7, 2007 by max

Although this is an awesome Wii hack using GlovePie and the Wiimote, you could probably do this a lot easier using a simple 3-axis accelerometer and a microcontroller.
