my led brake light pics (Plus ambient lights)

So this was a post from a while ago I couldnt get a decent camera to get good pics of it so I never posted it the I when I got a good camera I went to greece and just got back last week any ways.

here are the pics of the 48" , 120 led brake light and some other random ambeint light pics

BTW im still looking for suggestion on how to mount this because I dont like how it is now and untill I find the exact way I want im not going to cut the tint so it is brighter.

It looks like your led brake light has a couple of burned out bulbs.....

also not feeling the led light strips on the doors....

led strip on the doors is a no go for me.not feeling the led strip either. reminds me of pick up trucks when they put the led strip between the bumper and tail gate. also why do ur tail lights look diff. bright on the outsides and dull on the insides? is it supposed to be like that?

I think there is a diy on the TL page or our diy section ,

I thought it was pretty easy as most of the people who have it done I think they found it easy too. But I had a guy ask me how I did it and I told then he e-mailed me back a couple of days later asking how to take the deck out . My response to this was if you dont know how to take it out you probably shouldnt attempt this.

He did it any ways and blew his deck

The door lights would look much better if they were just giving off a glow, and you cant see the actual lights.

Noah posted the process of doing the LED tails, but he said he had someone help him out.

You need to cut the lense off the housing, mount the LED board, wire it up and seal it. Viola, LED tails.

The strips that I got were not actually for the doors they were for somthing else that didnt panout, but anyways the good thing about these lights is you can just cut them I think thats what Im going to do. Thanks for the advice

I wanna say it was in his build thread. The instructions are rediculously simple, but I can see it being time consuming.
