Those front lights are pretty cool. I think they're a little too much but if they were sized down and shaped properly, they'd be kick-***. What did you use to make those?

The led count was reduced from 100 per corner to 60 for the new ones and the optics were changed. A circuit board milling macine was used to make the large circuit boards.

Your lights are extremely cool! I'd consider giving up my euro-taillights for that.

Those are pretty cool. That's like some year 2030 stuff! Finish them up and contact me.

Op are you interested in a whole complete led housing like the tails or the halo inserted in the housing like the led strip?

I'm interested in a whole complete led housing. Since I got your modded halos and found out how great they are I thought the front corners would be a natural for the same treatment with halos around the perimeter and central led signals as in the rear halos. What do you think Jhonathan - possible?

Don't get your hopes up yet, we have to see if we can source the front corners without the lense glued on... THEN test a few products because having a wave guide produced for the front corner lights is going to be space and money prohibitive I'm afraid...

Now, where do you guys want the Halo?

A. Around the whole assembly
B. Just the DRL/Turn signal window
C. Along the top. (Might be cool if we carry it over to the Foglight recess too)
D. Other. Start throwing ideas around...

Will do.. Sorry for blowing up your box, Tim.

When I have a little extra time today after I'm done working I'll photoshop these.
