So after I installed the Two Brothers fender eliminator, I was disappointed with the amount of light that the LED license plate lights put out, though I liked the FE too much to switch back to the old light. Soooo, I started thinking and created a prototype of an acrylic light spreader. I couldn't find anything like it really, so I figured I might as well make one to my liking.
Here's the light output of the normal LED lights (further lit by the brakelight bouncing off my garage door:
First, I had to measure and cut some acrylic. After creating the holes for the lights, I sanded the edges and corners to make it nice and clean.
Here's the semifinal product.
I will have to put a spacer of some sort under the top of the plate for the perfect angle and fasten the bottom of the plate with a couple screws or clips. Then, I might coat or wrap the edges with something, though I like that lit effect on the sides. The plastic may need a light coating or layer to reflect the light better, too. I still have some work to do.
What do you guys think?
