Haven't finished yet. Just got the replacement glass today in the mail. And I got the red LEDs.

Wow, pretty awesome mod, very interested in doing it myself! :banana:

To dezert4runner...when driving around in the daytime, are you able to see yours? I don't see mine at all during the day, I was just kind of curious if the oem glass was more transparent than the glass I got off eBay because the backing of the glass was way different.

The driver's side is visible in the daytime (although not very bright), but the passenger side is very dim. Sometimes I can see it in the daytime and sometimes I can't. Nighttime is where they shine. I'm a little annoyed that the passenger side isn't as bright, however, I have no idea what I could do to solve that.

Have you tried them at night yet? What are your thoughts if so?

Yeah I just installed them yesterday and they glow great at night. Im happy with them. The only way I could think of having them shine better during the day would be to sand off the reflective surface on the back just on the spot where the arrow is at so that there is less blocking the light.

Before even seeing this post I was thinking of doing this mod by drilling holes in the back of the glass in the shape of an arrow, like half way through the glass and then putting in single LEDs in each. But then this seemed alot easier.
