Made "Ram Air" Rear Corners

I ordered the clear lenses for my 99 TA. I then got some Ram Air decals from brent and layed them on the lenses. I had a buddy of mine paint them black, peel off the Ram Air..and then clear it over. Lenses
Last couple Pics




Now what i was aiming for at night was to have just the Ram Air light up..well thats not how its working right now..it really only lights up..right where the bulb is..the light faintly makes it to the rest of the letters. Any ideas?

well of course in the day you can only see the bulb pretty much..but at night..the other letters faintly show..and the bulb just drownds out the letter M.

you will probably have to mirror your paint scheme "the ram air letter" on the inside of the lens to make them immpassible by the light. then get a brighter bulb that fills up the area better, thats about the only way i could see it working the way you want it to

Like AW/whiteZ-28 said get LEDs. Also I remember someone else on here saying that if you go over the LED with some light sand paper it will help diffuse the light better. Good luck and post some night pics when you are done
