What's hapnin' fellas? Anyway just posting a few pics of my turn signal conversions.

Used 28 HKB white LEd's for the parking lights, & 60 amber Superflux for the turns. These are tied together with a 12 volt regulator to ensure consistent voltage.<a With parking on in daylighthref="http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p133 ... ighton.jpg" target="_blank"></a><a With parking & turns on in daylighthref="http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p133 ... linker.jpg" target="_blank"></a>

I would like to see those with some night shots from a little distance to, a comparison to the stock ones would be awesome to see the difference.

Too hard to tell, but it's good work either way.

I'd like to get a write-up for part numbers and how exactly you did the grid of LED's. I'm no slouch on electronics or with a soldering iron, so it looks like it would be fin.

Haha, thanks. I've still got a tail light write-up to do.

Def not projectors, Bosch E-code lenses. Not a kit, just PCB board & LED's wired together.

Thanks guys. Not sure what they'll fetch.

These are P&P. They blink at a normal rate, as you can see the parking lights run with the amber blinkers like the JDM ones do.

i was wonder about those pics, it looks like it would be hard to see the yellow for how bright the white ones are. I think it just might be the pics though.BTW weren't you doing the tail lights too the same way?

Pics are not that great, they really don't do these things justice.
