Autozone. The white seemed to be much brighter than the amber LED's. These things are incredibly bright!

If you want to see the clear lens led setup, look for my writeup... I'm going to create a new set over the next few months, using amber led strips and the clear housing

I think his car is too old to have the DRL option?

I think there is only enough to fit 2 rows. Only half of the actual turn signal shows. The upper half is hidden behind the bumper. I'm in for install and in action picures!

White is brighter, BUT amber SMD strips would produce more light since the lenses are amber...

Hey FrankSS, just want to know if you ever find out how to make all of the LEDS come on and turn on and off when using the signal lights and not just some.
I did mine just like yours but my topn rou is the one turning on and off when using the signal lights. Thanks for the help and time.

i know how our blinkers are.. i have a camaro...
haha but anyways i was thinkin you could fit three if you push the bottom one down a little there should be barely enough room.. maybe not but i think they'd fit in there tight..
FrankSS fit 4 rows of his but thats different than this a little.. but if he fit 4 i think you could fit three of the strips. just my opinion..
