Custom Exterior lighting thread (post yours)
We already have an interior light thread so I figured it would be appropriate to start an exterior light thread (LEDs, Headlights, custom designs cathodes anything on the outside). Night/Evening/Overcast shots are ideal. Show off your lights.
(in case you're wondering, my newest lighting setup will be posted later this week when it stops raining)

The rear side markers are stock. But the front black Depo corners with switchback LED's, license plate LED's and exhaust plate LED's all came from Richard at Corvette Enhancements. I bought the tail Halo's from someone else in a GP that was too good to pass up and was lucky to get them. I know that a lot of others had problems and wound up canceling their orders and placing them with Richard. The fog HID kit I bought from a CA eBay vendor recently.
My next mod is a DD head unit/console mod. After that, it's the exterior lighting; LEDs and HIDs so I'm collecting notes.

Wasn't hard at all to wire the exhaust plate light and I believe it is legal. I haven't been cited for it, at least, and I've had it on there now since Richard started selling them (and maybe even a day or three before that! 
)

I'll play but I leave the innovative and cool outside stuff to pioneers like George and Jason.
Door handle LEDs - 3 SMD LED weatherproof strip tied into the Door switchs so they come on when unlocking the car.
Gill lights - Have been changed since those pics, I"m now sporting the Spiderman and have them working with the turn signals now. An incredibly horrible video;

Sequential Rear Turn signals - I got the modules off of EBay a little pricey but a very easy install and the only reason I haven't gone to LED taillights yet.
I couldn't make anything better then one of Radioflyer's custom plates;
That's it for me... for now at least.
