Porsche/Audi style LED front corners '08
Not to steal your thunder, but I've seen this done before. However, I will give you props for your workmanship, looks great. The only different I might've done is use a few less LEDS.

For those who asked, mine are wired to the parking light circuit, and I'm really not interested in making/selling these, as my regular job keeps me busy enough. It's a simple enough task, if one is patient and careful enough to not crack the reflectors when taking them apart. The LEDs come already mounted in a strip, and run on 12V, so no resistors or circuit board are required.

Yes, the same LED can be used in both places, as well as in the inside trunk light housing. I used something not as bright for the license plate light, though:

Me, too. I saw a set listed on eBay a few months back, and the guy wanted $250/pair. I didn't follow the auction to see if they ever sold, but it was a month-long auction, near the end, and there weren't any bidders. He offered a choice of amber or clear reflectors, and any color LEDs the buyer wanted. I think I paid ~$60 for my pair of clear reflectors, and the LED's cost ~$20. Not to slam the eBay seller, because the the labor involved, especially for the first set, is where the money adds up, so I'm happy I was able to do this on my own time and for a much cheaper cost.

This mod can easily be done with a premade LED strip,but I rather use OEM quality LEDs.

That's it - sorry I was off on a few of the details. Perhaps this thread will generate some sales, now that pics have been posted of my similar reflectors mounted on an '06> Z.
dcains - any updates on how your LED strips are holding up? This seems like an easy enough modification but I wouldn't want to have to keep doing it every year if/when the LED's start to flicker or burn out.

Ill be doing this to my reflectors next week. The design is very well done and adds a classy touch to the Z. on a side note, I ordered the same design led strip but not from the oz place.
