Projectors in turn signals. A shitty DIY guide.

I am about to do something similar with the same LED lights lincoln logs used on his car. I don't do much night driving in my car (few times a year) and these lights are so cheap that If I decide I want something better I can just buy projectors or better quality LEDs. $23.99 for the pair:

I have a set of those. They are really good at lighting up right in front of you. But suck at a distance. I was going to put them on my truck at some point.

Yeah if I don't like it I am planning to try the 8 degree 10w spot lights from lang racing:

That would require me to pull them back out...I can tell you they are less than 4lbs. More like the weight of a baseball.
Amazon says item weight=1.6 oz. Shipping weight 12.8oz.

1lb total. Bam

Are we putting bicycle lights on miata now?
Seriously, what is the point of that led strip? Are you really going to subject other drivers to that crap, even if it's only once or twice? I know Aidan runs hids in halogen buckets, but that is a whole nother' level...
If it is even half as bad as the double wide 7" "15 degree spot" LED bar I bought it will blind everyone while putting light nowhere useful.

Those LEDs are really only useful on a track car. Getting stuck at the track, run out of gas. They shouldn't be used as real lights.
And asmasm stated that.

I guess track wasn't mentioned. But asmasm's car is very heavily stripped. He has a spreadsheet somewhere of how much weight it has lost. I assumed his lights were for legality, not for usefulness.
