you just dont get LED boards off another car and place them in your car like legos. they use a different type of board than the ones you see poeple use in their corner lights


learn more about them before you tell people to do so

there has been very few poeple whom actually get a LED board working correctly like factory.
why do you think i said retro? RETROFIT you cut up your housings, in a 240sx case remove the inner clear diffuser and silicone the modules in. i know what im talking about my friend, i have done numerous automotive lighting projects. i am working on an hid retrofit on my kouki as we speak. heres an example of what i do

i open up lamps using the oven and do just about anything, including retrofiting led modules from trucks into taillights using pdm's and what have you. Name:  59a4014f.jpg

i wonder how it would look with the black housing instead of chrome housing....i wonder if there will be much difference....maybe the housing will reflect the light less and so u would just see red circles...
