Thanks. If anyone is interested in a custom light, I can build it.

Does it have an integrated blinker, as it appears that you removed your pods. Also, how much to have one made?

My blinkers are mounted to my license plate. Price depends on what you want it to say. The LEDs I use are very bright and are not cheap. Probably 250 to 300 dollars. I know its a lot but they are one of a kind.

Good job and the most unique I've seen so far. Your red Cylinder Heads and Brake Calipers look good too!

Here's mine, made from two dissected 4" circular Truck Trailer Tail Lights from the local TSC Store. My failing memory tells me I spent ~$50 plus my time:







With the prices of LEDs falling and more cars using them for taillights, it may be possible to scan an automobile junk yard for damaged taillight units and salvage the LEDs inside for something similar like I did. What's a broken car taillight worth...not much if you ask me.
