Since I drive my car year round, snow sleet and salt, I have replaced my turn signal sockets at least 3 times. No matter what I do, salt finds a way into the bucket and one of the contacts always breaks off.

NO MORE !!!

I went to Walmart last night and purchased a variety of LED strips and clusters and played around with the idea of a fully LED turn signal, completely sealed and no more sockets to corrode. The finished product came out pretty nice. Of course I couldn't just make it simple, and I had to pimp it out a bit


First of all I have the Euro lenses and that allows me to utilize the clear part of the lens with a touch of color. I played around with white and blue strips in various positions using a car battery in my living room. The final design has 2 short strips of white and 2 longer strips of blue for the running lighs. The longer blue strips allow the blue to illuminate the clear part of the lens. Looks pretty cool. Then I used a small cluster of super bright blue at the bottom of the lens for a blinding turn signal. I have the strips in alignment with each other so it looks really good when the lens cover is on. Finally I spliced all my connections, wrapped everything tight, then sealed the back of the bucket with caulk.

A cheap and worry free turn signal LED conversion.

Water tight

A picture of the lights on in my living room. WOW

Then installation.....

No more replacing light bulbs

No comments??

Does it look that bad???????????????????

cool! I would go to an all clear or all amber lenses. I like the way LED changes the amount of light.
Very cheap to do it this way. you could have gone with Amber, but a small piece of aluminum to divide the light to running and turn into separate segments.

Did you have to run a resistor for the blinkers?

Nope, benn drivin it all day, everything works as it should.

I'd check with your states Dmv. blue lights in the front on the car might be illegal in some states. Ya know, the flashing blue lights of an emergency vehicle.

Looks cool. I like the mix of colors and nice installation.

Do these get warm at all? Seems like all I've been doing is fighting heat.

I like! Those strips are cool in that you can cut them to size and their waterproof. I used 2, 18" for the 3rd brake light on the back.

I was thinking the same thing...it's illegal to have blue lights on any car that's not a cop car.

Posted some night pictures of the install. If your still interested....
