Hi all,
Not sure if anybody will be interested, but I thought I would make a post on a little project I have half finished today (will complete tomorrow).
Decided I fancied some LED DRL's, well they will be connected to my sidelights so not really DRLs.
I looked around the car and decided I wanted to modify them into the fog light housing.
Firstly, I needed to flatten off the centre spine on the trim, dremel took care of that.
Then I shrink-wrapped the end of the led strip to keep the water out.
Then I stuck the strip on with superglue, masked the actual LED's and then sprayed with plasti-dip.
The final outcome was this...
I'm pleased with the outcome, took a few hours but I reckon it was worth it.
I'll leave it to dry over night, give the whole thing a clear coat and then fit & wire.
I'll drop some installed and operating pictures up tomorrow.
