some pics of the led turn signals i wired up before i install them
ok what i plan on doing is drilling 12 5mm holes spaced 1" apart and sticking the leds in them and epoxying them in then wiring them to the stock wiring and using a hd flasher so they will flash normal.
also befor its said the wiring looks a lil small but i hooked each set to my battery for 1 hour and i didnt notice any heat or anything from the small wiring or the resistors so i think it will be fine.

ok theses are 30 degree viewing angle leds and i stuck them threw cardboard spaced at 1" apart and i walked almost 1/2 mile down the street and i could still see them bring and clear. these things will blind you there so bright. and the cool thing is that once there installed you wont be able to see them unless there on

Sounds cool but how do you plan on using them? Brighter turn signal, foglights, light under car or what? Are you going to put an on/off switch?

Not really as they are probably only very small amps per bulb. That's more improtant is the up stream wiring be large enough to handle all of them together. Say if they're an amp a piece, you'll have the equivalent of a 12amp bulb.

Those are no-where's near an amp a piece, more like .02 amps a piece.
Not a bad looking setup. I'm going to do something similar soon if all goes decently with my current engine build.

the up streme wiring is 14 ga and it should suffice. i had them hooked up to the flasher today in a mock up and they worked real good
