my version. I used 7 super bright red LEDs

 

Just watch it around cops. There are laws against red lights facing forward.

 

Did mine few months ago, used the right resistors and the right amount of leds, problem is that they all died out. the hell did i do wrong... (dont think its because i wired it up to the drl)

 

on both sides or just one side? usually if one fails in a series they all fail..

 

I did this mod. I used 3 LED and resistors(560 ohm) pairs per reflector.

Thanks for the write up.

Here's some pics...




Night shots...

 

For those who dont know which LED to order nor do they know how to solder them here is a pre-made LED bar DIY link:

I haven't done mine yet but this looks more straight forward. Just open up the or drill (however you like) your stock marker and put these LEDs and wire it up!

 

can someone post the links to where you got the clear side markers and the bright *** LEDS

 

check out my profile picture it i changed the parking light....

 

anyone know how i could make the entire reflector light up with one solid color insead of having little dots showing up?

 

Add more LEDs lol.

 

Someone on the board here made a set with ccfl's instead of LED's. It was in a thread from a few years back.

 

Yea i saw that thread but there was no diy or how to and I have no idea how to mount it where it would refract through the entire lens evenly. I'm trying to get the effect of the new chrysler 300's headlight where their daytime running light is LED but refracts really evenly.

 

My setup has 21 LED's per reflector, so unless you're very close, it looks like a continuous strip of light:

 

I did it too

Some pics.

Thanks Paul!

 

Can you show me how you did it? Where to buy and what to buy?

 

I used these strips:

I bought two 1-foot sections and trimmed them to fit the reflectors. There are actually 24 LED's in each reflector, not 21 as I originally posted. I used the pure white, waterproof, white background.

These are the second set of reflectors I made. The first were a quick failure, after the LED strips I bought from oznium.com had multiple LED'S die after just a few weeks of minimal use. Here's what happened with the sh!tty oznium LED's, and there are lots like these sold on eBay, too:

 

Any method to trimming them?

 

Just a sharp razor blade. You can trim the LED's in multiples of 3. You could probably also order them in a 24-LED section (8"), if that's easier for you, but they're sold by the foot, which is 36 LED's. I glued everything with clear silicone.
