Thanks guys, it has definitely been a lot of work, and now I still have another side : ( Anyways I thought long and hard about selling it but it's just not cost effective, it has cost me over $200 in materials and the risk of ruining the housings which are 400 dollars total is too great. Add in the amount of time it takes and it wouldn't make sense to do it for anything under like 600 bucks plus housings. Anyways if anyone wants to tackle it basically you need to literally break open the housing, cut through the silicone with a knife and pull the cover off. Once you open it u need to rip out all the insides (all that chrome stuff on the inside comes out) Then I glued the led bar ($120 from jdmtoy on ebay) and used plastic sheeting to cover around it. To make the diffuser for the turn signal I bought a sheet of that plastic that is used to cover flourescent lights (the ones you see in classrooms). Finally I bondoed over everything to make it smooth and flow and painted it matte black. It sucks that no one is making one, a company could make a mold and design an led inside and I'm sure a lot of people would buy it.

Looks much better than the TechArt add-on leds for the 997.1 and for a fraction of the price. Great work and nice improvement over the last version!

It actually looks waaay better at night than in the day but I have a ****ty camera and can't capture it, all you see is a bunch of light. Anyone know how I can get a good pic?

Job well done on those LEDs. They look nice. With the night pics, try to take the pics slightly off center to avoid the brightest point of the light. Hope that works. Just wondering if you did any modifications on the wirings? Do you have any problems with the warning lights on the dash? LEDs usually send off a "check light" warning because of it's lower wattage.
