It will only add time to the entire project but it would be a job well done I guess --- What color eyebrow will I have

RED
OR
WHITE

I'd say go with white if you do it. I personally like the stock amber contrast but white would be cool

There is no way to actually reach those part if you cut open the tradition part for eyebrow mod. However, there is one member on here, Nelson NC916 I think that did cut all the way open over there. I haven't seen him on the board much lately, but if I recall, he did have issues with it, with sealing a tremendous concern.

Going that deep was not the smartest thing to do I figured out -- My major concern was the condensation that migh occur.
I got the led circuit out no sweat. Check out the below picture for Status Update.
My wife says she wants the car to have white eyebrows.


Maaan cant pass on that one now -- Out shopping to radioshack.

Also wanted to ask, how you guys get the Orange turnsignal thing off to do the Eurofreshness overlay from the inside.

I like it done from the outside but since I am this much inn will try go get that straight also

Tried contacting Phil "Phi Dinh" for the Euro overlay - No response yet.

By the way the picture shows me trying to dry out the eyebrow section after another few rinses.

Smart people think alike

Just a quick update here - After hunting 7 RADIOSHACKS I got hold of only 9 white leds

DAM FOOLS never carry stock

Here we go, I am not sure if the white eyebrow is something I really wanted but looks good - Surely since it different

Stiill have a long time to go -- Have to get those silly white LED from Radioshack and then do it for the other light.

Going great so far just taking a long time -- The eyebrow cleared up 95% and I am happy to see it that better.

PS - I can still change the eyebrow -- I am thinking RED but not sure
