Default Well, I think the color is great too, 'specially at night. Installation however, is not easy...

Not a real great "kit" type process.

Build and wire up these LED strips.

Mount the strip to a curved small piece of wood that matches the curve of the inner headlight shroud.


Drill and countersink holes on the edge of the shroud.

Screw the board assemply to the inner shroud.

Mount and wire the power resistor into the right place in the housing.
The power resistor and diode are needed to drop the voltage to the dstriop to be used in the parking light circuit, apprx 1/2 the brightness of the base level strip.

Another diode is connected to the turn signal circuit, that goes directly to the board assembly so they light bright when the blinker is used.

I can build the strips, mount them to the curved wood pieces, supply the resistor, and the proper wiring diagram, but I can't guarantee that the regular user can mount and install it all.

Think you can do this?

That triples the cost. Ultra-Bright White LEDs are very expensive
