C5 Led sequential front turn signal build

sorry, there is zero chance of that. Not only were the lights themselves a ton of work to make, but they are nowhere near a plug and play application...as they would probably need to be in order to be marketable. I had to remove most of my interior, the console, the airbag and steering wheel, and the instrument cluster to complete the necessary wiring. There is just no way that somebody else is going to be willing to do all that, or if they are then they would likely just build a set themselves. Thanks for the interest though.

I didn't keep exact track of my time, that is probably a good thing, but it was between 80 and 90 hours as best as I can guess. If I were to do another set today, not that I am going to it would probably take 40 to 50 hours. Much of the time before was spent experimenting, designing stuff, and figuring out how to wire it all up. Probably way more work than it was worth but I really do like them!

thanks a lot?
when I said "thanks a lot", I was being a smart ***. I don't appreciate all of the extra work and expense you have caused me.
But really if it turns out as good or close to as good as yours, I will buy you a few cold ones!

With a little effort and a few bucks you will be well on your way, plus think of all the trouble you will stay out of while working on the lights. Don't forget to clean out your radiator during one of the trips under the car, of which there will be many. So once again, you are welcome.

My side marker prototypes are coming along. This one is a bit rough, but almost the final version. A couple more small revisions and I should have my final set made, ready to go on the car.
