has anyone made the brz bumper drl to turn signals?
The reason for the question is that I recently traded for some monogram hid headlights for a new look. Since the monograms themselves have a drl strip the best choice is to make the bumper drl into signals.
How's the difficulty on making them into turn signals? I don't have any experience doing any splicing work |

it's not easy unless you've got soldering and smd rework experience.

I don't actually practice dark magi... Err electrical engineering, so I wasn't remarking on the functionality. Well, there was that one time with the lab manager back in college... |

The board is single-sided, any holes are jumper wire through holes(pcb payback for not putting the effort into a doubled sided design) , with the exception of the drl connections that reuse the existing drl through hole connectors. I'll never claim to know everything, I'm entirely self-taught when it comes to pcb layout, so was mostly curious about where i could improve in the future.
