waiting on the pigtail receptacle to be delivered to my house. Should be good to go by this weekend if everything comes in this week.
I should have photos this weekend if everything goes through fine.

I'm still waiting to see how much these are going for. They're fairly easy to make, I just don't want to make my own LED housing for it... I'm probably going to use yours and put it under the doors instead of the mirrors like on how the G35 have them.

Sorry for the delayed update. Changing jobs right now with school gets pretty hetic.
Well, here's the update. I have the preliminary items finished. Here's 2 pictures of the finished molds I created. Only revision I need to do is find a better plastic (ie. withstand 300 degrees in black [for the main part of mold housing] and clear [for bottom piece where LED will shine light]). Also, I need to create instructions to install this.
I should have this hashed out by this weekend coming up as I am going to call a couple plastic manufactures to tell me what their recommendations is for a strong, thin plastic that can withstand 250-300 deg. I chose that high of degrees because I don't want it melting or accidentally warping on whomever is interested in this. Both sides fit snug in the side view mirror.
Other than that, they WILL be shipped with LEDs. Blue and White initially. Other colors upon request. They have enough wire to route from the side view mirror down to the curtesy light on the inside door panel and will tap into those wires with vampire clips.

I saw these prototypes in person and they're lookin' pretty good. Contrary to what was said earlier in this thread; these are NOT all that easy to make...
Keep up the good work Shaz

Yeah, they look simple to make but because of the curves and the size you're working with in the side view mirror, it took me a couple times getting the right fit. Haha, you should see my prototype. There's super glue all over it from where I accidentally polished off too much, etc. I should figure out all the details by this weekend on everything and let you all know.

I would recommend ABS as your plastic of choice. It's a pretty hardy material and it's not overly expensive. I actually have lots of spare pieces where I work, I could send you some samples if you'd like.
