So I had a SVX owner come to me asking for some crazy custom LED front side markers. I know this won't be everyone's taste, but it was a pretty unique and fun project for me. The customer wanted a blacked out housing and a perimete of white LEDs for the parking lights, and an inner cluster of amber LEDs for the turn signal. The customer provided me with clear lenses too, which I had never seen before. Anyways, here are some pics:

I would loooooove to see these installed on a car.

As it is I'm not quite feeling the whole "bunch of squares on a black background" look, but I think this is something I'd be interested in doing. I have LED bulbs in mine but they just do not cut it.

Nice work over all.

I know what you mean on the bunch of squares ordeal. I usually like diffused lenses to hide the LEDs, but for this project,the customer had clear lenses for me to work with, so I just used those. If I am to make another set, I'll try to look for a diffused lens possibly.I would loooooove to see these installed on a car.

YES. those are sweet, even better with the diffused lens. I too would love to see those installed on a car. I bet there pretty bright.

Reminds me of Vegas or a Superbowl halftime show but I still like them.

I'll wait for the pics of them installed on the vehicle before waving my money in the air and screaming about how much I want them, though.

Amazing job though, very impressive.

Yeah, good job :)

I quite like it except I also favour diffused.

Interesting for sure, not sure if I like them for my vehicle, but quality work.

Have you done rear side markers - how to take them apart?

So I've been thinking about this for a few days, mulling over designs in my head over what could be done with this.

I think something I would like to see and possibly own would have a similar LED density as the above example, but with one minor change of putting all the white LEDs toward the front end to act sort of as a DTR lamp which switches off whenever the blinker is activated, sort of like the Audis out now. Say about the first 5 or 6 columns or so.

Possible?
