I'm interested in this, but only if it can be done reasonably well.

Airjordan's little project is very intriguing. I wouldn't want the middle part of the car to be lighted like his is. I would still just wan the center brake light to occupy that section.

Here's my little breakdown.

I really like the uniform constant glow the recent Audi's have in the rear. On our cars it would look really nice if we could get something like this to light up the housing.



That's just the constant-on light when you're driving around at night.

When the brake lights apply, I would look for something similar to the Mercedes LED's like this



They would occupy the same location the present brake lights occupy. Very uniform in lighting.
I would expect the turn signal to remain amber as well. Again uniform in light and occupying the same location the present indicator is located in.

To really complete the package, we would have to get rid of the front running/parking light housing as well. Keep in mind I'm still using the original bumper. I know it might be easier to do on the 99 spec bumpers.

Thinking of going for a uniform LED simliar to this:



Again around the housing. This will become the new daytime runner (presently it's regulated to our turn signals)
Keep the inner area the little parking light but using only 1 or 2 of these (as indicated with circle):



And again, making the turn signal light as uniform as possible but still occupying the same amount of room as the present turn signal light.

That's all I'm asking...

Sorry, I thought you were tinkering with LEDs. Might've gotten my wires crossed.

I feel like I am on the right track all I need to do is make a contained housing in the shape I want to get more organic look. Unfortunately time and money is not on my side and costing way more than I thought in this project.
