Thanks. Now I just need some smoked sidemarkers... apparently they aren't easy to come by these days though...

Looks great, glad you like them!

TIP: To photograph these, best to do it during daytime in the shade like a parking garage. Nighttime shots the LED's are too bright to capture the spacing.

Looks sick on black cars! I'm building a setup for an Audi TT right now

Overall nice work, only thing that I don't like is that the front turn signal gradually runs out of phase with the side markers, possibly b/c the LED turns on/off instantly rather than fading on/off like incandescent bulbs do.

Yes you are right. An easy fix would be to run matching LED version of those filament bulbs (most likely a 7440 bulb) and then running a resister across the circuit so it won't flash hyper flash like when a bulb goes out.

Easy to do and then you get the LED response time but no problems.

I think these are the lights you bought from my buddy right?

Shoot these with a fast shutter speed in a daylight setting and it should look much better

Wow......So what car are you gonna mock up next

This really saddens me, the headlight is fine the way it comes. Why would you wanna make your headlight look like one from another car? For that just buy an Audi, Porsche or Benz.
