Bit like Marmite arent they? I'm not sure if I love them or hate them. I'm in the middle.

Credit goes to Colin for it, He had the idea, Designed the circuit, and made it pretty much 100%, Im just posting it because he has limited access... And I have them on my car too...
Vid of them in action

Hats off to the man who designed and built the circuit.

However like some of the others they are not my cup of tea, but each to their own, it would be a boring world if we all did the same.

When watching the video they did remind me of one of the arcades on Great Yarmouth seafront! lol

I like them, and the fact they are not just "stuck on" is a credit to Colin

Search on the 850 section "interesting things to do with LEDs" for the first one i did. Can't post a link as i'm on my phone

the fact you left the front indicators as normal bulbs makes the overall; effect look ****e, however the idea and work that's gone into it is excellent stuff, ive had a couple of ideas about things like this, but no real means to make it "work" i see it as mods like this shouldn't be viable until you want them to be. we shall talk about this some time

I was looking at the US spec side marker lights and having LEDs in there, Obviously seeing if they fit is the big problem.
Ive dropped my yellow indicator bulbs down out the way to see how it looks, It does look good, and you can see the indicator LEDS. Im sure that this is only the beginning of a long mod program to our 940s.
Jim! I have more fireworks!

I think they're brilliant - pardon the pun

The idea is great, but not to my taste, and the idea of them flashing......well don't know what the fuzz will make of that!!

They flash to the beat of the indicators when activated... They whites stay lit at their current brightness.
