LED lights are cool, but not feeling the arrows. Great creativity though.
If I ever get mine done or someone makes a plug n play application, I would want my LEDs to fill up the entire area..same concept like the newer TLs or Hondas.

As for my opinion for your approach on the tails.....as long as you are happy with them...thats all that matters. You should take some daylight shots.

I liked the arrow turn signals- wish they were on cars in the States
Do they go across in sequence for turn or just blink?

Thanks for all the comments
At first i was gonna make a whole LED light board but i'm not too sure about which LEDs are bright enough and didnt want to worry about being legal.... so what I did was purchase LED tails that are for big rigs and placed them in the housing. now i think the brake lights have too few LEDs, the other day I walked into the freightliner dealership and saw one that was full of LEDs, so I might re-do it in a couple of months with those..
I was gonna lay them straight but i figured the angle would set them off nicely...im still on the fence about that though
and yes the signals are sequential, > >> >>> >>>> >>>>>... i think thats pretty cool

i like the indicators and how they light up sequential, but dont like the tails. i think if you make it full of LEDs and not just the tilted ovals, it would look 100x better
maybe when you redo it, you can include some directions and info about where to get the LEDs from and approximate cost

i love the orange arrows, but i agree...the ovals are weird looking. I think they should either fill up the red part, or they may look better if they were angled evenly. Are they slanted because that's how they fit?

nah they are slanted because i figured it would look better slanted.. they are evenly slanted its just that they dont look it depending on the angle you are looking at them from..
i think it looks better in person than in the pics
what if i layed them straight or filled the rest of the taillight with LEDs so that the ovals dont stick out as much?

damn son you have been SHAT upon.
I don't think the LEDs look ugly, but i agree that it would look better if they were all in rows and filled up the housings.
Which is exactly why i didnt go with these:
Posted the mustang pic because it has rectangular housings similar to ours.. i would have gotten the 2 three arms for each side but decided the stars wouldnt look right.

actually if you took one of those stars and placed it at the end or the middle then filled the rest with LEDs it could look really nice, give it a little eye catching value
