Yes, usually. When you have the time to do it.

And you definitely have time.



Did you make those at work or is that your mom's countertop?

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

That is a nice custom look. Very original. If you coud find a way to do that inside a factory lense, I could probably have a custom market for these. Been doing a ton of HID conversions lately including the fogs but I have a few customers that are looking for something "one off". I am sure there is a $200-$300 price range for these installed believe it or not...

Theres no secret to them. buy leds, drill holes in plastic, solder.

as MCOR mentioned, I had to remove the stock lens from the foglight housing and fix my led plate onto it. That was by far the hardest part (heat them to 200 degrees)

When you get a customer looking for something like that, and willing to spend a couple bucks, give me a call. I'm pretty good at making stuff like that fit into factory or factory like housings, etc., and that's the sort of business I like. I've had lots of experience with plastic manufacturing (injection molding, vac. forming, rotational molding, casting, heat welding) and materials.

My 53 Merc, for example, has custom LED tails, made in Caddy bezels, and cameras hidden behind two way plex in the side mirrors.



Dalton, before you go to undercut me, remember, I have the CNC

No. Building something not offered as a $10 plug and play by the aftermarket, perhaps, but not an electronic flasher.

Of course, you are entitled to your opinion, but the little things are the most important.
