If you would consider doing them in a chrome finish I would paypal you right now 
.
Off topic: what color temp headlights are you running now? Also what brand bulb are you using? I'm thinking of getting some 6000K bulbs, but am undecided on whether I want to drop $200 on Philips or take my chances with a cheaper brand.
EDIT: I saw in your sig that the headlights are 6000K, they look perfect. Still wondering what brand you are running though and if you've had any problems with them.

I used to have 6000k. For some reason I can't change my sig.
It would be very easy to use another color instaed of black. Just a matter buying the formica or painting it. I'm pretty sure you can already buy chrome formica.

Do the rear turn signals, and reverse lights as well. Hell do a full LED conversion, interior lights and all.
I think an interesting idea would be a plate full of LEDs feeding a bundle of fiber optic cables, each end gathering light from a bulb then meeting up to form a tight bundle, with a ligthyl fogged piece of glass behind the clear exterior glass. I think it'd look awesome. The LED reaction time, without the "Dot" look. Just a really bright solid red circle. Only problem is it'd take up some trunk space to have room for all of that.

I do have plenty of leds.....
The two circuit boards are identical.
Do you think people would be interested in buying just the completed circuit board?

As for the rest of the car? I've already completed the interior, license plate, trunk light, and glove box light. As a matter of fact, the only thing left is the reverse lights and turn signals.

Sounds crazy, but you should try & sell a few sets.. Think I would grab at em.. Also, sell a completed set.. Like a bag o bulbs for the interior, so people could just order an interior set in blue.. which is what Id like to do..

Looks very clean!!
I'd be all over them if you were to sell a set. i would want the whole light assembly just to make it easier of a swap.
If you sell the boards and the leds what would be the cost? Install instructions included?
