Take the time to finish them off by rounding the corners (use some card board as a template), a touch if super glue and $20 worth of door trim. Really finishes it off. I also picked up some LED corner lights - worth the $25.

Can you post some close ups of one of your front flares, especially how you did the corner lights?

There are quite a few companies now that offer quarter sized led lights to replace the big corner lights. Northridge being one, A to Z fab being another. Around $30pr. They are damn bright too and look much nicer.

Yea I'm very interested in the corner light situation when it comes to cut flares. When I eventually get around to cutting them I think I would like to replace the light either under or on the side of the flare after it's cut. I would really like to see anyone(s) solutions to alternate corner lights after cutting their flares. Don't be shy

For the corner marker light. There are quite a few places that sell a small amber led light. Northridge, Rebel, 4wheel parts, they all sell it. Its what Im doing for my Xenon flares. They arent too expensive and its a good alternative. Here are a couple pictures for an example.
