Custom LED Deluxe side markers

Well, I wanted the LED Deluxe side markers but didn't want to spend the money. So I ordered some deluxe replica markers and a roll of LED lights. Total cost was about $60.

First carefully separate the backing from the lens



Then trim the backing flat where the bulb goes in. Stick on the LED's and solder away




I'll be adding some finishing touches soon and get pictures of them on and lit

Pretty slick setup! Did you seal the big hole in the back?
