Very nice, the color is not my style, but I can appreciate a good custom finish anytime...

I love the fact that you are utilizing SMD LEDs for the project, they last forever and put out fantastic light...

Great job, very well done. Where did you source the LED's? They look like the truck 4" LED taillights

Turning lights: 6 x 1W yellow modules on aluminium plate D=70mm+ lens
Brake lights : Star-3W RED modules with pesonal lens for each LED + custom plate with hand maded cooling

That looks simply amazing! I always wanted to see a well done LED tail light mod for this car, and this one looks epic. How much did it run you to make one whole tail light?

Love the door lights - unique idea.
Was this done with LED strips ?

Hint : get some lighted sill plates to complete the look.

That is great work man! You are a very talented individual. What kind of LED did you go with for the door lights?
