It does look sweet though! Great job guys!

I used Raybrig R132 available for $10 each at www.racinglab.com . They have a hyper white look that match my luminics hyper whites perfectly.

I have taken the lens out... but is cutting the only way to get to the LEDs? Can I use the leds which are used on gauge cluster? It seems to be a surface mounted LED on a metal base which is used to connect the + and -.... Thanks

The LEDs are surface mount that are stamped onto the metal inside the housing. You can try surface mount LEDs, but I have a feeling they wont be bright enough. They are also more expensive than standard LEDs and are header to get in a color you might want. If you use them, let us know how they work.

good job on the DIY. do these LEDs stays on all the time or blinks with your turn signals? suggestion: why not try mounting the LEDS into a bread board and sodder them that way it's more stable. just my $0.02.

Since squeezing the silicone around the base of the LEDs after soldering, I havent had any more die on me and its been about a month. Im going to stick with the ones Ive been using as it seems to be working OK. I guess its just enough to help them from getting shaken around too much when the doors close.
