Wow, that interior really lights up, How'd ya get that to happen. Hey if you need to buy any more LED's you can get them real cheap on ebay. $3.99 for 100 shipped free even cheaper if you buy in larger quantity, that's where I get mine.

they come right from Hong Kong, they usually come with the resistors, but it doesn't say in the auction page

Reference comments about color legality. Google this subject and you'll find colors are DOT mandated, and cannot be changed at state level. Red is required for rear running and brake lights, amber may be used on front and sides.

you could do something by just taping into the front signals with maybe a resistor in line An idea i had was to pull the front section of a BSM spear and add LED's into and then thru the fender. I'm not sure exactly HOW you'd do it to get it to look good but it'd be sweet
