Did a euro blinky conversion tonight. It's a nice conversion. Took some modification to make the parts work like I wanted them to.
Movie is about 2 MB.

Yeah, some aluminum tape stuff Ed brought. I have to buy more for the other housing.

This looks like the stuff.

Why don't you use alclad paint. I've seen it used in RC car bodies. Makes the plastic body look like chrome.

Where can I get it? What I've got will work great for this project, but a paint might be nice in the future.

Why does the whole thing lite up? Wouldn't you want the bottom portion to do something different or am I missing something here?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The blinkers would look cool if the two bulbs blink separately.

Craig Laughlin's (boxstr) Euro light conversion kits do just that.
Very nice in my opinion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I could have wired it that way. But honestly I doubt it would be bright enough to see. This way the turn signal is very bright. I'll leave it up to the owner though. Easy enough to switch between the two options. Easiest thing in the world.
