Looking forward to the pics tonight - hint hint. I am wondering how suppressed the back up light will be though.

Lenses, instructions glue...Less than $100

Have to do the math as far as how much plastic I will need, how much time, and how many interested....for exact pricing...still in the planning stages...this is the working model you see...

Damian- Those look great! How are you going to handle the brake lights though? Dont the inner most cells top and bottom light up with the brake? I guess im wondering how thats gonna look with two differnet colors of lense material...One would be red and the other white...am i wrong?

Keep it up!

Erich I guess you will just have to wait and see till tomorrow on how I solved that problem.... But you are correct the factory set-up runs the top and bottom cells from one bulb......Are you tha concerned about brake light not looking all red or shining all red and bright when you hit the brakes, from the clear and the red lenses..? Me how bright and red they are so others know when I am stopping......

Thank's

And Erich your front spoiler is at your parents house..you know...

I'm 99.999% sold. I just want to know how the reverse light looks with the all red lenses and see a few pics from various angles and distances of them installed.

Very nice work, Damian.

Cool beyond words..!

Us euro guys are lucky I guess, as the brake light setup is different - bottom mid cell is rear light, bottom outmost cell is brake light. Then again we have the rear fog light where US cars have left brake light... so it should still light up all red if at all possible
