New led side lights

Postby mx5ash » Mon, 05 May 2008 9:57 +0000

Right was having a play around during the weekend with some led strip lights.
Testing on the starlet

I decided that they didn't look right long as there were to many bulbs making it look like a rope light at Christmas. Also not sure i want to split the crystal front lights so I cut them down to 6 bulb lengths and soldered new wires on. This way i can slip them into the side light portion of the lens without splitting. Not stuck them in place yet but i quite like the look. What do you reckon?

Not for me Ash . I much prefer the standard option and would agree with John on the NCT point.
