I'm sure you know state law likely prohibits the blackouts, but I'm sure plenty do it.

The scrolling idea is a cool one. :thumbsup: It is probably fairly simple if you have the electronics knowledge.

Looks like he wired sets of about 10 leds in a row vertically. Then he somehow has linked them to come on one after another like christmas lights. Hey if you do this i want to see it so post some pictures, and if possible do a video.

Im not going to tint the outside im going to paint the inside to make them kinda like the one in the link below.

As far as making them i was thinking of going to auto zone and see if they have some that do that. I seen some that went back and forth but i want it to go one way. Then use the lil controller box to power a new LED bored i make, i Got 2 ideas what one do yall think looks better like this one

Looking forward to the HOW-TO pictures, and final results.

YA idk i still need to go to autozone and check out what they have.

Radio shack should have the leds your looking for, or at least a store similar to it. I doubt very much that an automotive store will sell leds separately so you can make the triagular shapes you want.

I was going to autozone or walmart to see if they have the trailer light like that already like this one i seen on ebay no way am i going to pay 80 bucks for them tho. If i have to build to all i will be going to radio shack to get the leds and the bored will they have a controller box to hook the leds to?

i am not sure, have you tried looking at their website?

i work at an autozone and we do carry electronic flashers to fix fast blinking lights when u swap out standard incandescent bulbs for led bulbs... there may be a way to make it light them up slowly like they are in that first picture so that could possibly work... good luck:thumbsup:

Thanks that's one thing i was thinking i would get screwed at i thought i would have to make a jumper wire or something. Any more tips form anyone that know about LED would help a lot b/c im still new at this.

The light bulb reflects off those surfaces to direct the beam pattern. If you paint those black your headlights will be worthless. If it looks that cool cough up the cash and have it done correctly.
