i'm diggin DCain's look tho! where did u pick those up? i'd much rather have those.
He's right with the LEDs facing to the side. you can't see them face on at all. but its looks good from an angle or the side. here's a few of my installs.
Ahh good call on the reflectors, I think I'm gonna stalk e-bay and see if I can't find one for cheaper like the JDM ones or fab some up myself using the JDM clears. Thanks!
+1 on dcains. I made similar ones for about $80.00. I also added yellow led's to the sides that are tied into my signals.
I ordered them with the pure white with white background. You can buy the bulk reel, but I bought them by the foot, and had to cut them to fit the reflectors (I think ~9"). I've used other LED strips from eBay and oznium.com, but they always had some elements burn out very quickly. I've had these for over a year, and no issues so far. These are also the brightest I've seen.
I don't think that will look very good installed on the car. Those 6 LEDs look awfully tiny, and face to the side. IMO, more LEDs, facing forward, looks best on the '06 to '08 cars. I'm biased, but here's my install:
You originally inspired me to start making these haha.

:tup:
I've made a lot of these, and I just recommend being very careful when in the opening phase. Too much heat and you'll melt the reflectors, not enough and you'll crack the lenses!
they really set the cars off though!
