    Those are awesome. I have a set of all clear that I want to do the same as well. Did you go with illumaesthetic diy kit?

      Sorry I barely saw this reply lol.

      The camera did not capture it good.

      So in broad day light, it looks just like all clears.
      At night, the string LED comes on for parking lights.

      Because of the design, it does light up everything inside, but it is VERY distinctive to see the string LEDs.

      The brake lights, I used large COBB LED panels, fitting as much as i could in the space.
      They were over powered and extremely bright.

      The reverse lights, I went double.
      A pair of COBB LED panels in the reverse light section. (doubled white areas)
      And the turn signals were them DRL turn signal combo with sequential turn, string LED.
      I wired the turn signal to turn signal, and instead of having the DRL to be used in the front of lights, I wired the white to the reverse, So when in reverse, the whole lower portion of the tail light light up white.

      The COBB panel i used for the reverse, actually came with the yellow silicone on top of the LED to help them be "white"
      I removed the yellow as it was visible through the tail light and wanted to keep the circuit board just white.
      The LED were much smaller and would not be visible through the diffused lens inside.
      With the yellow silicone removed, the LED were actually more of ultra bright Blue/White/Purple.
      Kind of like some sort of UV light, but brighter in blue and white.

      I have photos on my phone. I'll have to link an album to my social media page once I do upload the build pictures.
      It is just too much to upload them one by one here lol.

      I think it took me over 190 hours, to do the full build from start to finish.
      Spent about $260-ish for all the LED and connectors, relays and wiring.
