LCI LED Turn signal

Are there any aftermarket solutions to the LCI led turn signals? Piecing together some headlights and these are the last thing on the list. They go for $145-$190 per side so looking for an aftermarket solution. Would prefer that it covered the OEM hole. Here are some pics for reference.







Thanks!

I have pre-lci Euro Xenons (clear turn signal) with aftermarket HID and am converting to LCI adaptive xenon with all OEM parts, except for maybe this turn signal business.

Most people want to retrofit LED turn signals...but since the LCI headlights already have those and you're still looking to retrofit, clearly you have bigger plans in mind

I'm a bit of a LED guru, and if you're up for a little bit of hard work, I can help you find the proper LED emitters you will need from mouser.

Let's start with the simple stuff--what are you trying to accomplish, a white LED turn signal? And Also, can you remove that plastic diffusing lens on the turn signal and take some photos of the LEDs?

Ideally I would use the OEM ones but I can't justify $300-$400 for the pair. If I end up making one, I would want to make it look (at least from the outside) as oem as possible.I think I would go with white LEDs. I'm no expert but I think I can put together the electronics but not sure how to make the housing. Off the top of my head,

I would do the original 13 LEDs. Each one with 0.7 V drop would need at least 9.1V and of course a current limiting resistor.

anyone have any info on the voltage / current specs for the OEM bulb?
