Optics a la BMW with their own hands

With his hands for a few hours can make a well-known angel eyes BMW for almost any lamps with round lenses. This will require a bit: transparent plastic sticks (such as those which are controlled blinds), the resistors in the 220th, the LEDs at 3.5 volts, any strong bank with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the lights, pliers and a 9-volt battery and their hands ":) Transparent plastic must be heated to the point where it can be easily deformed. Shape of the bank must be nearby. Using pliers, go around the bank waiting for the plastic piece and not less than two minutes to cool plastic. For something like a circle. Then take the LED and resistor. Assemble electronic components. If there is no soldering, it can all be bonded, as in the photo. Check with devyativoltovoy battery. Zamatyvaem tape. Saw off too much, make ends in a perfect circle and smoothly grind ends. Take another LED and binds them together. Needle file or need further drill with paddle. Do not very deep notch with a kitchen knife and then saw through the deeper stripes. Putting the ring and holds the tape. Turn. As you can see, the rings look very impressive. .. You can put the switches on all four pairs, or even to switch on the lamp. LEDs come in all colors and shades.

Additional options

What additional options than they are useful, whether they should be ordered when purchasing a car? We hope that this article will be useful both to people intending to buy a car, and car owners. 1. Airbags. Everyone knows for sure what it is: Front Air-bags have long been required on automobiles. But it is better to have your own car and side airbags - they protect the chest and the window "inflatable curtains - they cherish your head. Oh, and remember that these options are very useful in the car. 2. Seat belts (with prednyatyazhitelem and constraint forces). At the initial moment of collision (God forbid, of course), retractors sharp jerk tightens belt to the driver (passenger) did not manage to pick up speed until the selected tension (slack) belt. And when it reaches a peak deceleration force limiters, just slightly dissolves the reel seat belt to reduce the load on the chest strap. And another tip: Always have the driver's seat is very sharp technical knife (cutter). The situation after the accident (God forbid, of course) is quite common: the machine is turned, the fuel follows, we must quickly leave the car, but the seat belt locks all the action. That's just in this situation, a knife and will be released. 3. Switchable airbag. If you see a button on the panel - "PASS AIRBAG OFF", then this function you have. This option is especially useful if you're driving with the children's motor armchair. Otherwise, if triggered, airbag can inflict a very powerful blow to the back of the chair ... 4.
