Default [not for everyone] My custom front fender MOD w/L.E.D.s









It's not as bright as it looks, last picture was taken with a Flash

EDIT: Here's a VID Clip :




I got a strip of LED lights, mounted them on a 2x12 strip of plexi glass and tapped the power into the front marker light.
Heres the vendor for the LED's

I'll give you an "A" for ingenuity. As you say "it's not for everyone" but that's OK...good job!

went to Home Depot, bought a sheet of plexi, cut 4 strips of 2x12", mounted the strip of LEDs with heavy-duty double sided tape, then mounted that strip on another strip of plexi.the key is have enough spacing to clear the 1/4 in lip of the fender....then double-sided it to the inside of the fender.......tap the wiring in to battery to see how to angle the strip for the LED's to shine out of the opening, for best results, wedge the to strips of plexi so the light hits the fender & front of the door.....Then mount the plexi (to the inside of the fender).......extend the wires over the wheel well and tap it in to the marker light wires....brown is (+).....the hardest part to it is to be creative to mount the strip for it to clear the lip of the fender and for the LEDs to shine on to the body of the car.......

for best results, remove the doublesided tape that comes with the strip.

I got the 30 LEDs (12" Strip)
