I bought 2 sets of solaris (signal in white), sold 1 set and kept other set. It was used only for a minute before deciding that it's too dark.. Don't think you want it since I sanded the chrome off one of them to try to make the bulb brighter so it's actually now a blue bulb instead of chrome.

My suggestion

They look great. Period.
Don't even think about doing them for others- the cost would be prohibitive, you'd get real fed-up real fast; just opening a can of worms.
Certain things work in a one-on-one environment, others don't.
They look great, though.
You might consider offering/selling instructions of some sort.

This mod looks really good. I agree with everyone. So are you doing custom jobs for those who are interested?

I just got a set of Silver CF from Marc.
He came to our Fall Meet in VA and I was able to get a set from him.
Thanks for coming to my house Marc and helping install these babies.
Whoohoo!

Thanks Marc.
