Lupe,
Please do a video of the install, just like all the others you have done, they are perfect! I'm in love with your car and all the mods you have done, thanks.

Im not sure how the light reaches the end. Ive played with the light just to see how it would look, I think I have an idea on how to get it to direct some light to the edges of the panel

Im going to try to just use the tubing to mount the led to the pipe but not use electrical tape to focus the led. Not sure if you'll understand what I mean but ill take pics this coming weekend when I get the light pipe

Hello bro, I might b wrong, but the reason some have light all the way is the have drilled a hole and ran the tube all the way.
As far as leaving tape off, If u take off the tape the led will send light out of the edges and corners. From what I see the tape is necessary at least doing it with the no drill method.

Lupe,

Great video man! Did you use the same method on the drivers side as well?

I'm curious to see how others have been getting the drivers side to play nice.
