[CLICK HERE] to play the video this is just a slideshow showing the Pictures of a project I did a couple of months ago it was requested by some users, and I hope oyu guys enjoy it, even tho the pictures dont look as good as in person, but the video is a lot worst, this is only the foglights they dont blink, but my next project is the turn signals so that I will remove the whole stock turn signal back cover and bulb, thus reducing a couple of grams of the total weight of the car, but a lot better than that reducing the watts that are drained from the battery, making the battery last longer when I have all my lights on rolleyes.gif lol, but it will look a lot cooler also, I'm getting LEDs that match my car's color biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
NOTE in the video I included some photos of the vinyl tribal on the rear and the custom made LED bulbs for tthe gauges, everything is perfect, but for some reason the Gas light stays on at all times kindasad.gif

I'm sorry, but lately I have been really busy, with the new job and everything, I just ordered the drivetrain/drive shaft/ axles or what ever makes the front wheels move lol, that has 2 rubber pieces, and when I get them I'm going to have to squeeeze some time to put them on with my pops, both brand new.
and about the LEDs I just opened the housing using the oven method, measured distance between leds, soldered every LED 1 by 1, made the holes on housing with solder gun, stuck the LEDs inside, connected them all toguether paralell wired, and connected them to the white and the black wires off the turn signals I think it was those colors or you can test with 1 led to make sure wich are the right wires, because the turn signals have 3 wires, 1 bliking, 1 for just on, and 1 ground, just test to get the right ones, also you will need to cut some of the inner edges of the housing to be able to close back, and before that youll need the seal the LEDs with sillicone, but if you want to change everything to LEDs I would recomend JB Weld it. hope this helps you, if not Ill answer any question when I get time and try to aid you biggrin.gif
