If someone made these and they still looked OEM on the outside I would buy some in a heartbeat

Will agree with others that it looks good. My concern would be what is the life expectancy for this lighting mod? Much of the aftermarket lighting upgrades are just not as robust as the OEM designed and built lighting.

Reliability of DIY lighting usually depends on the modder and how well they plan/execute the mod.

I built a set of LED tail lights, side markers, and front lenses for a 91 E30 BMW and those have been rock solid for over 8 years now with the exception of one broken solder joint on one of the front lenses.

^now that's hard core modding.

C'mon guys, don't be like "I'll buy a set of those"

You gotta BUILD them!
