Thanks. I used plexi glass, oven, dremel, and jig saw. Used the How-To article as a guide.

I did the same thing. They seemed too bright. I am gonna try with something other than plexi glass.
The plexi glass I got from Home Depot for $1.99 for a 12" by 18" sheet. Latin, did you use tape or did you paint the gray/silver around the edges ? -------------------- |

Olympus D-540, eBay, $189 shipped.
I used silver paint for the edges. This post has been edited by LatinKraze: Jun 2, 2004 - 11:23 AM |

No offense but I don't like them. You did a really good job on them but they just don't look professional. I made 1 of mine they looked the same just not quite as neat, and decided to just buy some 93's. I'll post a pic of them as soon as I get a camera which will be soon hopefully.

No offense taken. Let me know how the 93's look and if you could, please post a pic so I can see them. Thanks for the comment.

did you have to paint that much silver as a border, or did you just want to?

I redid mine. I used regular "office lighting material" and they came out ok...kinda of a hack job though. I think I am gonna tear these up and try something new. I am thinking of cutting the housing and making the lense more recessed into the bumper

The silver was used to hide the glue used to hold the plexi to the housing. So yeah, i had no choice. |

Not easy at all. I actually had one night to make them. I had to work the next day and cant drive around w/o turn signals. I was forced to speed through them. Took like 6+ hours. |
