Thanks for all the compliments guys

Once I get all the electronics set up, I will post how I did it. I plan on using a buck conversion circuit and sequential turn signals.

Also, I went and found the size of the LED rings. 120mm, and 130mm for the pair of V1 Ap1 tails.

As for adding some lenses, I don't entirely know yet. It looks pretty good and weather proof without the lens on.

Heres a #rare picture of the tail light when the lights are not illuminated.

Looking at the image on the computer, I am amazed what the Iphone 4s camera can capture....
Also, notice the ATP brake fluid next to the aluminum battery boxes !


Im totally digging it :---)

Im sure the sellers on Ebay were happy I bought them, because I doubt anyone would want to put these in their head lights -____- , way too red!
Charger/Magnum guys like to put those on theirs.


LOL yeah true.
There is some kid at my school that has red halos on his blacked out charger, he sits in his car in the parking lot all morning until the bell rings. He also has some 24" chrome rims, and a low GPA.
