I haven't bought them, but on a side note, some people here are looking for Him as he has been out of touch recently. Do you have his contact info?

I did what vf2ss did (see post #10), but I connected mine to the ignition instead of the parking light switch. When the LED strip is off, you can't see it (clean look) unless you are specifically looking for it.

I was one of the first to get the LED option from Erik. I love them but after a few months the glue he used didn't hold up and the lenses came apart. I told him about it and he offered to have me send them to him to fix it but I just put some glue on it myself and put it back in. A couple months later the other side came undone.
Now a couple LEDs on one side are flickering. I will eventually pull them out and send them to him becuase I need them fixed but have always wanted him to extend the LEDs for a longer line.
Like you I also think its nice to have the LEDs in this location for the cleaner look since that is where the lights are supposed to be in the first place.

I've been working on a variation of this setup for a few local nsxprime guys....
The main problem when you use "individual" LED's is the reliability factor. When new they always look great but over time, it will FAIL, just a matter of time. Keep in mind cars are not like computers, etc.....the environment has moisture, heat, vibration (all of which will eventually destroy the LED connections).
This is why I have chosen not to use larger LED's. The ones we use have been tested over 6+ months of use in various cars and proven to be much more reliable. I'm building a set into a 91+ fog light with some CF accents so hopefully will have some prototypes finished this week. (just have too many projects for others I'm doing right now).

here's some various projects on my bench right now.....:biggrin:
The NSX bumper lights are on my TO DO list....if you have something specific in mind, give me a call as I'm just slammed with work right now.
