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 was going to do mine with LEDs too, but didn't like the look of the individual dots so I did this with CCFL.

Please excuse the dead driver's side halo.

thats awesome! CCFL never crossed my mind! Im assuming you mount the inverters in the back...im always worried about those burning out.

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.
