Thought I might just share a little bit of an experience here:

Bought some LED lights and wired them into the front light housing and planned to change over the blinkers.

Really happy with the result.

However I installed my new HIDs (went with TRS) and they were a little bright.
I am not sure how well my front blinkers will work now...

Ahh well.
I'll post up updates as I finish this up.

In order to get it in the housing I had to remove the front lens. It would not fit through the housing hole.

Did you use a projector with the HID's or just the bulbs?

Just did the bulbs for the HIDs (with ballast and relays). Saw some people had done the projector and it:

a: looked far too involved for me to comfortably take on

b: should be bright enough anyways
