		Please read first before voting. Post if you would like more detailed info before voting. This is a project I started over 2 years ago, and want to get some made as an upgrade to other members’ cars. I’m working on costs so don’t ask. I want to see what style people would like. All styles require you to make some alterations to the housing. Style A and B require fairly extensive modifications to the housing (cutting out terminaland will require a new connector. The cost would be higher for style A since there are more LEDs and more soldering time. But the advantage of A is that the light from the LEDs will fill the whole back of the lens. Style C will need the least modification to the housing. You will need to add connectors to the wires that are already in the housing to connect to the circuit board. You will also need to shave off a little from the screw “towers” so the lens will get back to the right position. The squares on the left are LEDs, the mumbo jumbo in the middle is the circuit and the circles on the left are The LEDs for the reverse lights I have some pics on the Upgrades section on my site (link to site below).  |
