LED side blinker lights. They were pretty dang bright, blinked the right color, just looked good/different. Anyone have these, know where to get them?

... a captive mirrored bulb, not an LED. The electrical work to put an LED in there is nontrivial, given the current feed to that bulb.

They are available in the right size when taken from other cars with them... the Zonda's side marker and the driving light cluster of a Vanquish both would come to mind as OEM sources. I'm sure some upscale ricer shops (do these exist?) carry them.

Now if someone came out with a TT headlamp cluster where that horizontal portion were yellow neon instead of bulbs, I'd buy it...

Bosch, are you listening???

I would guess that Hella with the Celis light technology would have an easier time adapting.

... the bulb in there already takes a lot of thermal abuse with how the bay is laid out.

I'd rather run through bulbs than do something fancy. Who's going to notice besides Audiworlders anyway? :-)

yeah that'd be phatty. i get to look at a Z8 close up a lot, and i just google at the neon lights they use. i wanna tear open the assemblies and see how they work (i'm a very tactile learner ), but i doubt this person would let me disassemble their car.
but yeah, that'd be phat. i'm pretty sure though they were LED. three individual "bulbs" inside the oem housing. Myabe the guy was an elec engineer and just took the time to hook it up right. Heck, I know an elec eng. who did a custom rain sensor mod that rolled up his wondows/sunroof when it was triggered if he was away from car. Pretty cool stuff.
And I think "upscale ricer shop" is definitely an oxymoron, hehehe.

haha, probly true.

...is adapt the BMW 5-series "angel eye" headlights to an S4 -- obviously there's a disparity in the shape and size of the lights, but I wonder if such a thing would be possible -- anyone know offhand?

oh wow that would look really cool.

design to hold the LEDs. You can wire the three LEDs in series- which gives a voltage drop of about 6.3 volts - so with 12v power you need a resistor of about 285 ohms to give you a current of 20mA (this is usually the rated current for LEDs that will give you long life and brightness.)
