The clear it for break and tail. Tried using as turn as well but no go. When i do the panels ill use 10gage. But the light boxes i think are durable enough using 1/8".
I've had alot fun fabing them and got it down. Ill start making another set for my brothers gf xj.

That might be the law but few cops would pull you over for it. How ever i think they make a red tape that is transparent or maybe a paint.
If i get pulled over for it then ill look into that route.
They also have a red lense led lights like the clear ones. Same price.

If the were clear lens with a white light then he would get a ticket

I haven't researched LEDs as they are a fairly new technology for vehicle lighting considering the entire history .. ... there are aftermarket LED headlights that pass federal manufacturing standards .... currently some appear to be fairly expensive, run around $250.00 ea.
You have to remember Federal regulations only exist to regulate the manufacturing of new automobiles and aftermarket products and not to license and regulate privately owned vehicles.
