I agree 100 percent. I am just using the Arduino for prototyping. Once I work out all the kinks, and develop a decent firmware for modular animation uploads, the next step will be to try to put it all together in one, neat and small PCB. I was also thinking this would allow us to use some high intesity LEDs and custom PCB size to fit in the fog light area.

If you want to, we can work on this together. I dont have too much experience developing PCB layouts, but im sure i can figure it out.

Could probably use something from Alumilite when ready to fab a clear lense. they have a nice tutorial on duplicating a tail light. Could probably use a similar process for the fog light lense.

Werd we can follow DIY: Rear Fog-Lamp "Z" light and just fab the front part and put it back together...

Mounting this doesn't seem that hard anymore.
