LED Turn Signals in Fog Area PIC HEAVY

Well, my whole goal for my wife's cx-7 is to make it look like it belongs with the $40,000 and $50,000 small SUV's out there like the X3, X5, RX440, etc. One thing that really upscales a car is LED's (I will be converting the whole tail light to LED eventually, but that's another day). I finally decided to put them down by the fog lights because it looks so clean. I was going to put them in the headlights like the new 350z and cadillacs, but the wife wanted no part of me breaking her weather seal on the lights. So I went to work and over the course of about 4 days had soldered, waterproofed, and wired something into the car that I was VERY happy with. And more importantly, she was VERY happy with. There are a total of 9 superbright 5mm LED's in each light placed at various locations to give the best visual effect for lighting. They are 50,000 lumens so they are even daylight visible which is what I was hoping for. But they really shine at night. They are lit as parking lights and as signal lights (this was a mission too). They look stunning and are flushed with the factory plastic so they look like they are OEM. I am going to do her side mirrors as well as soon as my amber LED's arrive. I am going to start selling these on ebay soon. They'll be available for cx7's with or without fog lights. Not sure on price yet, but the materials alone cost a bit. I am leaning towards $250. Let me know what you guys think.

pretty cool and really nice job on the fabrication! i want them to scroll back & forth like KITT ;)
 
wow, I photoshopped the same thing like 2 weeks ago, but it looks so much better in real life! definatly interested in buying a kit.....but could we get a photo later at night with just the diving lights and leds on?

haha that'd be sick!!
 
Wow, incredible, nice work! However, I can't help but wonder if amber LEDs would look better in the foglight area...

I was thinking that too... I ordered the amber ones and might try it out. I am going to use them on the mirrors and might switch out the front ones... but I do like the white there. aahhhhhh choices.

More pictures tomorrow of just the LED's on at night. Already took them just have to UL them and post.
 
Thats great man. You are the mod king LOL. You suprise us again. Keep modding.
 
They look great! But make sure you check into the legality aspect of having long rectangular lights on the FRONT of the vehicle prior to trying to sell these. I would hate to see you sell a bunch and then get nailed due to some stupid law over lighting requirements.
 
In my area (Woodland Hills, CA) Use of things like these don't set off cops, even deep front tint won't warrant a ticket, which is illegal in California.

Thanks for the concern... lol I totally agree. There will be a disclaimer for sure. But as far as I know, it is a legal lighting mod. It is a non-driving light that is directional so it does not throw light everywhere and blind people. Plus it is a signal light which, at least here, is allowed to be either white or amber for the front. Rear has to be Red or Amber. But will definitely advise buyers to consult their local DOT laws.

Cool. Like I said..I think it looks very good.
 
Love it....nice job!! I put portholes/side vents on my CX7...not so upscale but please take a look in appearance and tell me your opinion....
 
Custom LED turn signal mirrors are at the paint shop... along with the car unfortunately. Someone hit the CX in a parking lot and took off.

I'll start a new thread with pics of the mirrors after I get them back from the shop. They look like the concept CX-7 mirrors shown at the different auto shows. I'll see if I can dig up a pic.
