led marker installation

Anyone in jacksonville or gainesville that can install headlight side strip leds? I'm not talking about the sidemarker/corner itself, but the side strip thing in the headlights. I hate the stock bland look (theres like 1 bulb at the top of the whole strip lol), and I wanna either put an led strip, or make it look something like this: http://www.carbodykits.com/images/T/...-ORACLE-22.jpg

just a solid color.

if anyone can do it gimme your price/ideas

dont know of anyone locally that mods headlights. maybe some of the z guys in gville might. i dont know if you met up with any of them yet. since you have 03-05 reflectors though, a good move would be to upgrade to 06-07 projectors. the light output is 100x better they look great. you might be able to even find some black ones to match your grill on here.

^^Kinda like he said. Fine some 06+ projectors and if you cant fine anyone around here, ship them off to one of the few companies that do good work and leave yours on until you get them back then make the swap.

Yea I want projectors really bad, and I'll get them along the line, but I want to do something for my current headlights for the time being. And I don't know any of the Z guys in gville. I just really hate how the strip has one weak bland bulb at the top. I either want LED strip, or to light up the strip (so its actually a legit strip) like the picture posted above.

I don't have a $1000 for custom lights. Nor do I want to wait 2 years for it and then get an email back saying it can't be done.

Uh ok. Projectors run about $300-$400 tops! and 180 Customs would cost another couple hundred and be done in weeks. Good luck though

Whats the best place to buy OEM projectors from? Marketplace?

And the $1000 thing was a reference to some thread a while back lol. Some guy paid $1000+ for custom headlights, 2 years later the guy says "he can't do it". (the guy @ clearcorners.com)

Ah I missed that one. Yeah you can just lurk the Marketplace and they pop up all the time for cheap. Or there are always several on Ebay.
