Re: Lighting mod - what do you guys think?
I found this LED light strip with "sideways" emitting on this website:
Audi A5 R8 Style LED Strip Lights | LED Headlights | LED Driving Lights
The strip itself is very flexible, about 3/16 inch thick. The strip is transparent obviously, with black backing. That was one of my primary concerns since I want it to blend in especially during the day. The only thing that I had to be careful was the spacing between the lights since the spacing is a little "off" every 3 LEDs or so since that's how the strip was put together.
For now, I have the strip wired to the side marker... the part I am now sure about is the durability of the strip in taking all the weather elements exposed to it.

I did actually, but I didn't like the light dispersion pattern of the LEDs so I went traditional amber bulbs. Perhaps I should try different style of LEDs...

Thanks...! It took me about an hour, but I took my time placing the strip back and forth until I'm happy with the placement. Easy mod, for sure...
