    We'll see, but probably unlikely. A lot of time/custom work goes into a set. Mainly doing these to see how creative I could make them. I like doing 1-off stuff.

    Yup. Would bbvFunky with amber and red flashing. like WTF?

    I've re-evaluated it after looking at it tonight in the dark. IT's WAY too bright for a parking//running lamps(much more noticeable VS the Rear ring.
    So What I've Determined is they will be on a dimmer circuit but tied into the brake instead. I figured for Daytime use, it will be much more helpful to match the brightness of the 10 OEM Brake LEDS. Which are plenty bright..just very directional;back.
    These will give side Brake light viz. And at night,only light up 60% for a nice softer glow to match the Running halo. Then both back on (OEM LED's + these) @ 100% for brake. HEllz Ya

    All buttoned up and tested.. now to just throw the clear lens on. Diode dynamics PWM inside to dim the side running lights.

    All sealed up:)
    Just need to buff out the lens while I wait for some switchback bulbs @memario1214 :boink:
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    My goal was a clean cut line, and clean reseal... so I didn't have to paint a strip along the outside of the lens to hide it.
    I think it looks pretty factory:D
    [​IMG]

    Close up for you OCD people(like me)
    [​IMG]



    Next up hopefully I can find a 2nd Gen to test them out and get some pics!:bananadance:

    That's quite the disappointment given your track record in the lighting department.
