w00tness. I finished my 3rd brake light retro. When I can get my hands on some bigger PCB, I'll do my tails as well. Check it out!



I got a buttload of spare LEDs. Anyone want me to do this to theirs?

 

cool you should be able to get some random size PCB at radio shack

 

Nope. Biggest they have is 4.5" x 6.35"

 

Nice, looks good man

 

looks good. 5mms? use superflux leds for the tails

 

friggin awesome.. you should def do a write-up if one does not exist.

 

i was wondering how hard it would be for you or spencer to put a ring of LEDs inside like ebay "euro lights", to look like the wise sports/besige tails? and how much you would charge.

 

1000 British pounds

 

Red/Orange superfluxes were used. You forget, I hang out on HIDPlanet.

I could do a writeup, but it wouldn't do you guys any good. 'Vert 3rd light is different from the others. Maybe the coupe is the same, never looked at it.

I could however build boards and what not for you guys to swap in yourselves. I got an assload of LED's left.

It woudln't be hard as far as I know to put a ring in there, depending on the method used. Personally, if I were to mod tails, I would retrofit the entire things with LED's, and throw out the incandescent. If someone wants to donate a set of eBay altezzas (like the ones below), I would gladly use them to make a first set, free of charge. Superflux LED's are NOT cheap lol. I just happened to get a decent deal on them.

 

you could also just take the led boards out of oem led taillights or use led truck/trailer boards. nissan, honda, and toyota have alot of models with led taillights these days.

 

How would that help me? Also, the eBay tails have to be cut apart with a band saw or dremel, they're plastic welded. And the coupe/vert tails are quite long, and so in order to work well, they need some very custom work.

 

well im just saying if other people are looking for premade/circuited led boards and don't want to have someone fab something up for them. Obviously you are fully capable of doing everything yourself.

 

i meant just removing the stock bulbs and have round formations of LEDs instead...i can paypal you money for thelights in a couple weeks, and i suppose you could just order them off ebay?

and i dont mind if the middle one isnt clear like the beseige ones.



also, since we are on the subject, does anybody know if the stock kouki center garnish and lower panel fit flush with the ebay lights?

 

Yes. I had them. I tinted the lights red and the center was black with the reverse lights still intact. In fact, I was the first person on Club240 to do so.

If I can get the ones with the middle clear, would you want that in amber LED's?

 

uhhhh lol. ill leave the details up to you. whatever you think looks good sir.

well its the end of the month and i got rent and bills and ****... but in a couple weeks i should have a bit of money to afford the tails. just tell me how much money to send you...and i guess ill make a paypal acc.
