So I have a guy who works in LEDs and is interested in producing some after market DRLs in lieu of the OEM $700 ones. He is on the RX-8 forum but does other work as well. I will be the middle man for this instance.

His response was, "Yeah lets take a look, if we could do something with carbon fiber (costly and a pain when trimming), fiberglass, or even resins the housing is going to be pretty important. Ideally injection molded plastics would be used. What did everyone as a group like as far as housings goes?"

I am new to this kinds of things but the last material which sounds similar to headlight housings would be best? As for wiring that would be easy I think it is the fabrication that we need to nail down?

Input, thoughts suggestions?
P.S. I am not sure how things work on the forum as this wouldn't be a forum vender more of an after market out site the forum purchase?
