Well thats good to know! Not much fog up here, but I would have thought the cutoff would make a huge difference.

If I would do it again, I would use the Apollo shroud or the other shroud sickhids use. They are bigger then my Gatling shroud. I'd also paint the bowl black, or PTM beige. I like how the light below looks.

WOW! That's huge! Actual size? LOL!
No seriously, I seen when it was in the making. So thats what it looks like now. I'd like to see how they fit. I like how they went with a large halo vent.

EDIT: We will give Darkshadow his thread back when they come out with a 5K version.

Well I got tired of waiting for the 5K and called v-led. They said it's a new product with no plans to make it in a 5K yet. If the 6K takes off they will expand it to a 5K. Or if enough people email/call them requesting a 5K they will do it. The 6K version link below.

Yeah but for some good quality LEDs you are looking at a $200+/5+ hour project. Pretty pointless IMHO

Well, you obvioulsy don't know where to buy leds or know how to solder, would cost about $15 if you bought expensive leds and at most half an hour per bulb

You're right. I'm a noob at soldering but I'm also quoting NORLUX clusters, Lumileds, Luxeons, and Osrams prices. The cheapest Luxeons (my preference) are ~$12.95USD shipped, each.

$12.95 x 15 LEDs = $194.25

i dont know if i would put different types of leds in them, just replace them with PLCC-2 surface mounts like they come with, from oznium for $.49 each but honestly that is way over priced. you can get a 50 pack osram plcc-2's for $1 on ebay

price is not a good way to judge an led, it is actually very hard to make a bad led so even cheap ones off ebay would be fine, but like i said you can get 50 osrams for $1

I've just seen what Luxeons can do, and they are very reliable, so my next project will be utilizing them. I cant stand these crappy ebay LED taillights.
