Partialy done with my LED conversion on my BMW, this is OLD work from like a week ago, but I just now took a picture of it. I have 2 large 3v watch batteries to power it, but for now its being "tested" with a 9volt, even if they get a bit hot ;).
The small Red LEDs I had looked just like the tail lights so I popped out the original clear red pieces made the hole behind the clear piece the same diameter of the hole the clear piece was in, and put the LED in there... not that easy to tell the difference.
I plan on doing the same with the front lights, but not the ones on the grill... although I will do those too. The primary head lights ;) -- I have yet to take pictures of those, that will have to wait a week. They are tricky to take apart with out breaking them. I also have VERY bright LEDs for headlights, they blind you if you look at them directly, but they are a bit too big, so i am going to have to improvize or get smaller ones ;).
