I think it's a great idea! ...

Since your idea covers up the turn indicator... Where are you planning to move it? Inside the halo?

I think it would look good on your car. You should definitely do it if you have the know-how to make it look clean!

GiantsFan, the actual outside halo will will flash when signal is activated and inside halo will remain constant .... as for braking both halos will brighten

Oh ok... Cool

Idea I had - combine it with the reverse lights using switchback LEDs. Not sure if that's possible though

krinkles... yep your on yor way, however i would do a test run on tailight from a junked car from the boneyard first. light it up and see the results, unless you are really skiled and can pull it off in one try. best of luck. i just smoked the whole lenses on mine with black paint and clear mixed together. but to each his own

i know how you can do it! buy some smd strips on ebay, the 5050 smd strips! get a round mug then lay the strip(flat down on table around the mug and overlap the strip by 1 inch and super glue it together! wala!!!! those strips are cutable too! and are brighter than led's. just disconnect the bulb wires from factory bulb and replace to smd wires. you can glue the rings you make to the lense easily!!!!

I like it a lot!! but it's an obvious Nissan/Infiniti LED design, I would prefer something else.
