OMG....you are amazingly handy. If you can perfect the process you can sell them on here. I seen a guy on a Nissan forum who made custom pathfinder headlights.

If those are the turn signals you did, don't they have to be amber colored?


If you are referencing my model, it is just a mockup made from scrap lying around my house. The lens is out of an 89 LeSabre, the board out of a Delco stereo from a 93 Century, the LEDs out of a webcam, the resistor out of a set of headphones with a volume control, and the power source is just a 6 volt DC adapter that was used to charge my old digital camera. It's just a test-prototype

Ohhh, i see, just making sure it looks halfway descent before you buy all the led's and boards and stuff. Nothing like usin what you have right!

I bought some of those led bulbs and was very disappointed,

Wow thanks for the report 84GP455. I was planning on replacing all the lighting in my 84GP with LEDs. Maybe I will try to find the non-directional bulbs (the LEDS are in a round 360 degree pattern).

Do you know where I can get a list of all the bulbs for the Grand Prix? A list would be helpful. If I saw a complete kit I would buy that, but nobody has done that yet, it would be so easy to do.

I'm gonna keep the ones 3xbrowncutty just bought in mind for the signal lights though.

UPDATE! I now have a working full board model, and as soon as i get a lens, i will make a real life version. my fullboard uses 10 3.5V LEDs wired in series-parrallel, 5 parallel sets of 2 lights in series to make 7 volts, with volts running throug from my power source. (a DC convertor. just double numbe of lights in series to fit on 12v car system.)
