I think the running lights and turn signals aren't enough for my taste (would like more LEDs lit) but overall props to you for an amazing job!

that looks awesome. I love how the running lights turned out. It's different but makes it look more exotic?

in person its plenty of light. and the turn signals are more visible in person also. leds are just really glary when you try and video them. and there still that bright with them blacked out with nightshades. i wanted them to look some what exotic and different from anything else

thanks for all the compliments!

hm, this is an old thread.

I was working on a similar project for LS1 style tails where there was an LED in each honey comb. I was also doing sequential turns, but nothing worked right and the owner was impatient, so I had to scrap the project.

Mad props for completing the project.

heres pics of progress of my project...
