Thanks to the DIY article here. I made my own true LED corners. I'm not done with them yet. I'm going to disassemble them and paint the backing of the light housing to match the color I painted the circuit board.

The LED's look great. It feels great knowing you did it all on your own doesn't it?

where did you find this diy? i tried lookin in the diy section but didnt find it. maybe i did look hard enough it was late at night

edit: never mind i found it.

have another question though, how much room is there inside of the clear corners to work with? i was thinking of putting a CCFL tube in the clearance strip and wondered if i could put a smaller one in the clear corners what do you think?? would it be possible?

I doubt it. The lens housing has, I'd imagine, about 7-8mm of clearance at the rear of the housing, but the lens slants downward to about 2mm clearance as it goes toward the front. Think of a doorstop. I actually had to disassemble the first one I completed because I could not get the front of the lens to stay sealed due to the front two LEDs preventing the lens from sealing.

That ccfl mod is awesome. I wonder why he didn't just run the wiring through the bulb hole then seal it up. I also like that he took it out of the tube. That looks like a much easier mod to do than making the LED circuit board.
