LOTC and Lexkost have the LS community begging for more!

I can't wait to see the finished results LOTC, and then hopefully I can follow along

If Lexkost or LOTC doesn't write one up, I can throw something together. I'm sure they are, and it will be stickied.

Wiring is going to be different for everyone depending on what you want to blink, vs. just regular headlights.

For $120, I might take the plunge but I really want to get some tint on my windows first...it's hot out here.

Good job guys!

Sound like a good idea, I have some other ideas in the works also:

Custom Steering Wheel coversion using stock air bag.
HID Projector Bumper Fogs
Double Din Stero install with complete AC vents and contols relocated below

I have others but I just need time to do them.

no they do not just bolt on, you need to cut some of the area of the car.

I just started school so, finishing everything may take some time.
