Add Fog Light,Lower LED signal,LED License plate strip

Just done this last week LED Strip plate light,Lower Grille Signal and fog light,Carbon overlay grille and emblem enojoy , the reason I want to make a extra signal light on the lower grille cause I have the carbon decal on the corner light so is blocked the signal and Im driving the other driver can't see I turning my signal so just came out a idea adding a Amber LED strip in the lower grille (under the middle bar Sliver one).

Plate LED











Lower grille signal





LED rear signal



Carbon overlay on the signal and upper grille









And here is some video of the LED signal on the lower grille

With E light on

Rear Signal and front signal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hDQEPe08Ls

LED Signal with Lower Fog + Headlight + Upper Fog
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR7z5p-ggNI

If and have a question about the temp. on my Low Beam and Upper Fog is 15K HID and the Lower fog light is regular warm white and I will change it to DRL LED soon.

Please dont remember my license plate # too lazy to block it

Wow your plate light is bright...
Not feeling the lower grille and signals etc tho, but to each it's own I guess.

How come your lights flash so weirdly? They flash in different pace to each other and they don't flash like the normal rhythm?

All - the video mismatch is because Ken has "bulbs" in the front headlights. LED fire faster than bulbs, thus they blink out of sync. If Ken was to remove the front bulbs, or at least replace them with leds like he used in the rear, they'd all blink in sync. They blink fast like that because that's the cars fault indicator that it thinks a bulb is burnt out.

Ken,
What did you use for the CF overlay? That CF behind the front emblem is perfect...

There are few mods that you do that I like, but I give you all the credit in the world for trying new things.

I wonder if the plate light is so bright, that when a traffic camera or toll booth camera clicks-
that its strobe light would overexpose the picture?
As long as its not BLUE light shining off the car-
the cops wont hassle about it being very well seen from 50 feet- the actual requirement is visable by day or night at 50 feet

NOT that I or any aziner would ever do anything wrong,,, I am thinking maybe something one would see in a movie, yeah ~ thats the ticket

and of course the hideaway plates are a must these days, Good thing someone provided numbers for an acura-
Dont be surprised if there is a tow truck and LE officer looking to take your car early one Sunday morning---California readers know the street racing=impound law~

I like the lower TS idea, anything to get the attention of someone on a cell phone when I want to turn.

I just purchase on ebay I believe the bulb size is 7443 I had the LED for almost 3 years and haven't had any problem with that and is really easy to DIY, but the signal will blink faster than usual (shown on the video) due to the voltage(i think) is different so the computer will think there was a bulb is burn, if you want to avoid the fast blinking problem just get a relay, to me I like the fast blink but to some or you guy might think is rice.

I like the lower grill ideas. Hint: Audi. But if you make em straight. and white LEDs instead of orange. Dremel Tools are your friend.

I give you points for effort and being unique. I can't give you more that that though, I guess it's not my taste. I always wanted to see what amber strips in the lower grille would look like.

The carbon fiber is pretty real looking being that it's actually vinyl. It is the same stuff I have on my grill albeit I used it more sparingly. For the guys who want to know where to buy it, it's called Type III carbon fiber and you can buy it at your local friendly Ebayer.

yea i think the cf covering the corners looks a little tacky, esp because they're not cut perfectly and it looks like its shining right through paper :P the leds are a lil too much too imo.. haha i really like your grille tho
