    New Sidemarker Idea

    Guys:

    I've been personalizing like mad, but haven't posted. Here's a sidemarker idea that I like. I bought from ebay for initially 17 then 10 shipping. Theyu're LED and are white. Judging on response, I'll post what I did. If not, hey, I really like em. What I DIDN'T like abouts ours is that they suck with that terrible visible screw....and needed an updated look. Anyway, here they are:




    wow...finally found out how to post an image. What about galleries? How do I strat one of those?

    They look great.

    If you don't mind...Do you have some pics of the headlights? I noticed the you painted the shroud silver and would like to see some different angles.

    I'll snap some. I didn't like the way they disappeared against dark paint. The only other option was to use dark covers making the whole light dark...

    Thanks, that would be great. I've been working on a headlight design to get rid of the contrast to between the grey shroud and silver reflector. Painting the shroud silver seems like a nice alternative to blacking out the headlights with covers or projectors.

    Search ebay motors under "side marker fender vent" and you'll find some for $20.55 with free shipping.

    Sad...I originally got for 17 plus shipping, but now cannot find them for under about 30 plus shipping. this is a pair I bought when I had to replace clear lense after miostakenly leaving that part on in the oven...oh well. To me worth it becuz I did not like the original look.
