looks good so far, you plan on wiring up the led strips to go on with the parking/corner lights or by themselves

Nice, those are gonna look great. Can't wait to see them on the car. Hope the LED's aren't blocked by the hood at all.

Didn't have much time today to work on it, got the first light in and couldn't resist taking a pic at night testing the LEDs. They are bright enough I had trouble getting a good picture without the flash so here are two to give an example of how there will be plenty of visibility. By going inside the headlight housing it is going to kick a$$. Will be getting up early tomorrow to try to finish the install and get the clear sides on.

Without flash


With flash


Off to bed, hope to have finished product pics in the morning and will try to do a how-to for the install and clear corners when I am done.

Got it done and tested (headlights) and everything works great. Going to go back out and mess with the LEDs and see how I want to hook them up. Been taking a bunch of pictures, will be on in a bit with an update and pics.

All done!!

Here are two pictures taken earlier in the day with the lights and no LEDs. Also took the time to put the clear corners on that have been sitting in my bedroom. Was saving them for the Stillen kit and new paint but couldn't help it.

I wired a rocker switch off of my cig lighter for the LEDs so I can have them on whenever I wish. Can I tap into my blinkers as well so that they blink when on or off with my blinkers? Wasn't sure how to do it or if it was possible.

Front - Headlights only


Side - Headlights/LEDs


Will take some night shots shortly as well.

Thanks, also took the time to ditch the mudflaps and the front license plate holder - looking much nicer I think. Could not believe the difference on the test drive.

Can't wait to get the bodywork done.
