Looks good. I think night pics will look sick. Smooking it def makes the leds brightness show more.

I dont know if its just me but the day pics look like my regular orange bulbs blinking.

I used the truck modules, they are way easier to use, and are just the right size for the fron turn signals.
I was contemplating doing the back, but I've seen how they look and they dont fill up the whole housing with light. It wouldn't look as nice if the color doesn't reach the very edges.

I also wanted to do round led modules for tail lights, but I'll wait on that for a while.

LEDS are directional and do not emit light to the sides very much at all. My Black chrome lenses didn't reflect as much as DCs because there isno Diamond pattern in the plastic which difuses the bulbs light. Even with bulbs it still didn't difuse so i figured go with leds for brightness.

Great job. Just make sure they are secured. Turn signals are the easiest to steal.

I wouldn't know any other way to secure them other than the screw that holds the turn signal itself. The side lamp just pops out with a flathead.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make these black bumper lights because I don't feel like buying a new set.
