He said these projects are too time consuming, and too difficult for him to assemble. Having said that, I'm sure he could be coaxed into making another set if someone really wanted one badly enough (but I'm sure the price would be higher).



The bad news is they'd have to be sent back and disassembled to resolder a new LED on the board. The good news is that LEDs last for a very long time.

Why not just a kit of the parts? I can sling a soldering iron, I can't make a PCB.

I'm sure he could hook you up with the boards (in post #34) if you asked.
Drop me a PM if you're really interested.. I'll give you his email address.

Any action shots yet?

It was pissing rain all day, so I didn't install them yet, but I managed to take a decent
pic of the black chrome finish. It's a really strange color... sometimes it looks like gloss
black, sometimes it looks like chrome.

Here's an action shot of the driver's side marker (it works like a charm)

I just emailed my buddy to see what he can do.

Sux about the board. But.. the flashing HID fog effect? Is that when you have the turn signal on? Fogs on or off?

turn signal on. fogs off.... and that only happens when I use the other 3157 socket.

WTF, over?

[urban yan]

yeah, the passenger-side board was wired incorrectly. The LEDs are over the place.

well thats just cool lol

I apologize for the bump, but I have a question. I'm pretty good with LED wiring on a board, where did you get the lens covers from? If I was able to get the covers and a set of junkyard turn signal assemblies for the back, I could probably put something together fairly simply. BTW, this would be for a pre-97 XJ.

Look like your standard clear turn signals.

^ that version had too many lines for the retro, so we went the 3rd gen markers. I posted a pic on the first page.
