Not much progress since the last post. I've put in about 16 hours of work, but in the past 8 hours, I've only succeeded in burning out some LEDs as I'm working on the wiring. I'm trying to have some of the LEDs in the 3/4/5 arrangement light up in addition to both LED rings. I was able to do it with my previous setup, and I was trying to use a more streamlined method, but I'm going to go back to the same type of wiring as before.
I have some prewired LEDs coming in the mail, and I bought a circle maker for the dremel. I'm going to need 8 near perfect circles of acrylic.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with the JDM lights. Though it might take a little more work to match the LEDs, since the JDM lights have a different outer lens.
I got my dremel circle cutter, it takes a bit of practice, but it will work.



I'm about 20 hours in, and only about 15% done.

Thanks for the comments. I'm almost done with the LED mirror assemblies.
Ready to be assembled. I just got my other taillight yesterday, so I'll need to take that one apart:

assembled:

lit up.

I'm actually moving at a good pace on this, since my wife and I will be moving in two months.
