Front Reflector LED mod
I finally took some pics of my new project... also got the license plate with white ones! 
sorry about my email all over the pics...ive had a bad experience in the past.
what do you all think?? I wanna get the JDM clear lens and redo them with White LEDs.

looks sick man! good job! i am actually doing this myself soon! waiting on the LED's to get here. Did you just drill on the back part of the reflector there (where amber is)? I was going to go through the white plastic part so you can't see the actual LED bulbs. did you wire individual LEDs or did you just do a pre-made strip?

I actually open the lens and install a custom made board with a mirror finish. Drilling through the back is the cheap way of doing them, Im not a big fan of drilling .

I've had them for a while now.. no problems.. just mount the inverters high up behind the bumper and it'll be good. I also siliconed the CCFL tubes to keep water out. I have a bunch of these CCFLs if anyone is interested.. 
They're actually red CCFLs, but the orange plastic makes it orange. No probs with cops.
