Very nicely done :clap: :clap: Original and looks fantastic.

Just a thought tho, silvered indicator bulbs would clean it up a treat, and get rid or the orange blur 8)

Liking 2Crooky's idea with the Smoked units Uber Cool!

You've missed the point...

Those photos above are with the shutter as fast as possible and all the settings as unsensitive as I could. This is what I get with a 'normal' camera.....

Check out the light reflection on the right hand side - the garage door frame, and the floor...

:shock:

8-)

I drove to work this morning at 6:30am with just these on... Oh, the looks I got!!!

where did you get the leds from and what length of strip did you use?

the length looks a perfect fit and the lights look quality

Just to add, there is no other light in the lens, just the LED strip.

Hope all is clearer now.. :lol:


RabRS....

All I've done is took the lens off with a hairdryer, bought a strip of LEDs that is see-through, stuck 'em in and wired them up. Et voila!!

They do look good Keith.. :clap:

Well done ...they look great. :clap:

Couple of questions though:

Where did you get the Leds- are they the 24 led strips from ultraleds?

Also how do they effect the indicator ...can you see it at night with the brightness of those Leds?

Look stunning mate, I too would like to know how it effects the indicator. Can you still see it clearly?

Fresh ideas like this are great.... How long before there on ebay... I'd get your sidelights protected before someone steals that idea and starts making them to sell.

I now have my LED strips and will be looking at doing this hopefully over the weekend. I have no idea what im doing - i dont even know how to remove the lenses so it could get interesting.

What im trying to say is...if i manage it, anyone can do it. wish me luck.
