TSX LED Taillight Retrofit
#81
Okay, sorry for the shitty quality. but because I am so freakin excited for these things, I wanted to do a little photoshop animated gif flie to show you guys the pattern i'd like someday, and to give an idea of how hot this could look on our cars. personally for me i wanted to get rid of one of the 3 circles in our tail lights to mix it up a bit... but i dont even know if auergx can do that... either way this is my vision... what do u guys think??

you know now that i look at it at 1PM rather than 4:30AM, I realize i like the 3 circles more too... but like i siad i dont even know if the 2 circle design was a possibility...
I just hope they use large LEDs; like the ones in the G35 coupe. the little tiny ones that i've seen in the pictures of the IS300 etc... aren't my bag of soup.

Hi Mike:
I think I recall some mention on this forum that you're located in Arizona. If that's correct, where exactly (what city). I live in So. Cal and I'm willing to personally drive out to you (that is, if it's not too far) so you can do the conversion. Is that a possibility? I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I really can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks again...

ok i think you should redo the gif of the circles and make both circles centers light up for the brakes. also make the turn signal be the center of the outer circle and the outer line you already have. i would love to see that.

Wow good job on that photoshop, its hot! However, I don't think the two circle design can be done, if it can, it will probably require cutting and possibly some custom molding. The three circle design is what I had in mind. Don't worry guys its gonna look good. Anyone with spare taillights? Thanks,

You can always slpice the wires such that the lights in the trunk lid can come on for the brakes. However, this won't be a direct replacement then and the builder of this LED light has to install one more LED in the center in order for this to work.
BTW, I like the 3 circles better.
