I can get a few pics for you, but you'll have to wait a few days. Busy with school and work so it'll either be on Thursday or Friday

The blinker is cool, unless its super sunny out, but sometimes you cant even see stock ones in those conditions. My reverse ones, are a little harder and have a pinkish tint to it. but here they are:

I used 330 leds and 330 resistors for everything, but it really depends on the design. You can either use predrilled perfoboards from Radioshack, or use acryllic and cut holes according to your design. Then just do the wiring, install boards with LEDs inside housings. Of course it is a good idea to open housings before you do any work and try to plan how you gonna fix the boards inside before planning design.
