Nicely done! What does the install look like in daylight (how do they look turned off, when you can see the lights themselves)?

I'm done.....

After multiple wiring configurations and experiments I've determined that my expectations were too high for the LED setup I was attempting to use. If you use the setup and 5mm LED's shown here

Evilution - Smart Car Encyclopaedia

you can't get the light focus right. Babybenz used the same LED's but a smaller drill hole and pulled the LED's tight to plastic... I'll do the same with 2 additional LED's tomorrow so I have ample light in the back... it's either that or get a new piece from the dealer and go another route... which is under consideration... right now I want to break the thing in half and chuck it..
