Default My 06 Front bumper marker LED Mod

Still work in progress, cracked opened JDM clears and put 6 Flux LED's on each side. Still debating on how to finish them up after i close them.

Option 1 i can leave them clear as is OR

Option 2 is blacking them out (but afraid might change the light output color)

The LED's are natural white and match OEM 4300k HID colors almost perfectly.

No offense to anyone but ppl should chose their LED colors correctly. Majority use cool blue which is almost blue and looks yucky!

LEDs don't give off heat so it'll be kinda hard to melt anything.

Aren't VHT niteshades paint meant for this type of application?

I'll probably end up tinting them. But the thing is i want to maintain the natural white color and if i tint them it might get a hue of the tint.

I believe niteshades will turn it purple some but maybe not. I have never tinted a pure white light with niteshades, I've only done stuff like tail lights or amber marker lights

Have the LEDs shine light from behind, like my CCFL setup. Or drill holes per LED individually.

Btw: Come out tonight for a bit.

This is how it looks as of right now. I'm going to tint them with black tint. Just hope the output color doesn't change.

Here is what it should look like once tinted/overlayed: (from another member here)



I'll try to make it out tonight, depends what time im back from class

Ahh, I see what you want to do now. But here's my suggestion, if you're worried about loss of color try to make a circular cut out in the tint where the LED bulb will be.
