I am abandoning my idea I was working on for pre-LCI's turn signals. Lack of motivation and too much manual labor (since my power tools were actually totally killing it instead).

SWEET! I saw Umnitza posted these pics on FB which is how I first saw them. Awesome work!
Dude...don't ditch us pre-LCI'ers!
I'm curious to what you had in mind.

Haha.
I think about other ways then. I tried to make it easier on myself by using sanding attachments for my oscillating tool then dremel, and both turned disastrous. Oscillating tool wasn't versatile enough, and dremel was too powerful. So it basically caused reversible damage to what I had done. Which is the other part of the reason why I am laming out and not feeling motivated to continue, lol.

Two more videos to show how my welcome lights now look since the new control box has a delay on fade:

I had already discussed "your" idea in my previous thread. Even before my build, I have considered it. In the end I decided against it because that's too reminiscent of Audi and how the recent VW's are. If there are people that want me to do their's that way, I can, but I personally think it looks better/consistent this way.
