Cost of parts alone for the adapter will be $35-40. The relays are about $10 ea. Let me contact my friend who helped me put them together and see if he's interested in making more. How much would you guys be willing to pay on top of parts for his time? Lets start a feeler group buy list to see if there's enough interest. I'm putting Steven down as one.

Here are my pics. It includes comparison of OEM LED v aftermarket festoon LED bulb from autolumination
left side is the OEM LED
OEM LED v OEM Yellow
OEM LED v aftermarket 39mm festoon LED bulb
(notice the difference)
Props to Knightcom (Ryan) for his help.
OEM proves to be the winner. I'm still in the process making my LED setup with the resistor. I will post pics soon!

That is the cost of parts per pair for the adapter. I'm still working out how much my friend wants for his time (labor) or if he's even interested in making more at all. I will keep you guys posted here.
Great work John on the comparison of OEM vs. Aftermarket!
