LED do-it-myself, at day and night
These threads are a dime a dozen, but here it goes again...
I searched far and wide to find an LED roughly matching a 6000K HID bulb color, this is what came of the front reflectors. I also tint painted the rear face of the sidemarkers, though it's pretty hard to tell from the pics.

I can't remember the exact resistance...they were 1/4 watt resistors from Newark.
You can use this link to figure out exactly what resistor you need.
The LEDs came from www.superbrightleds.com.

Yeah...I had all the supplies sitting collecting dust for 3 months before finally finding a weekend to myself. If I had the time it'd be fun to make this for a bunch of people...but without time it'd be anything but 
You are right, sir
