Here is my first crack at the "Dragon Eyes" modification and programming of the Projectors.

I noticed my flashing security led on the dash and though it would be neat if the Projectors with their eyeball look had a dim red breathing glow to indicate an active security system.

Since Nine8six is in Asia who produced the cool projectors I thought coining a new term "Dragon Eyes" would be appropriate. Kinda looks like a slumbering dragons eyes.

Also a Porsche should always be meaner and cooler looking than a Beamer with Angel Eyes.

I programmed the LED breathing pattern using a Texas Instuments Microprocessor, about the size of a thumbnail $3, EZ430-F2012

I did the programming in "C" and uploaded it to the chip via USB dongle.

I need to adjust the breathing pattern to lengthen it and have some LED off cycle time to make it more dramatic.
