Thread: Stormtrooper Build Thread

    So I figured I would just make one of these threads to post pictures and updates instead of making new threads.

    When I got it (Sittin high)

    My Stormtrooper by NerdoPlex, on Flickr

    Lowered:

    the LED grilles were a fun project, and I think they turned out pretty nice

    I actually bought a mk4 euro switch and fog light wiring harness

    like this: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-...ights/ES10266/

    and wired it up, works perfectly

    where did you purchase the led fogs? and also do you have any pics of the fog lights off in daylight? just want to see how flush you can make them with the grill.

    Got them off amazon, don't have the link right this second, but they sit pretty flush I'll try to get some day pics soon
