here are my LED tails... i htink im the first .... i think they are pretty nice... however i know OntarioTLs will be nicer since mines a lazy approach















and... a pic with the CL-S rims

 

looks good

 

Damn how long did it take you. I gotta give ya props on this, but Its not really my style. Good job though, definitely original.

 

nice...

 

i thought it would fill out more. my friend did this on his 95 max and the LEDs are so freaking close together

 

 

Nice, but I like the indicators better than the tailights LED.

 

Nice tails. Good idea.

 

I'm sorry but i gotta be honest here... this looks like crap (to me)...

Definitly not what I'd have in mind when it comes to LED tails...

 

creative...but toooo creative.

 

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.

 

so when is the tail going on? cant wait to see it.

 

Well sorry to say but you are not the first. There was someone else that installed LEDs that looked a little uneven about a year ago. I have started on my project but I put it on the backburner for a week or two. I have to fix my front projectors as one had condensation. Now I've decided to put better clear plastic housings on and install LED signals. But wouldnt you know it....the electronic parts store I shopped in town closed it doors....actually they were evicted for not paying rent. So I guess its DigiKey for parts from now on. I'm trying to get both mods done before the show and shine on May 26th.
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

 

oh and Vz about the wing... i held it on the trunk again and it just looks too short soooo.... I'm thinking about selling it or trading it for springs, im pretty sure the accord guys would want it.. i hope

 

I like the signals but not so much for the tail lights.

 

is it the angle of the ovals?

 

X2

 

yes its the angle and the lack of leds.

 

^^^^^^^^ X2

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

 

props for creativity. any day shots?

 

I'll post more pics when im done with the lens

 

the birds said it all. you shuda got the rectangle ones or something else the indicators r nice tho

 

thats so ugly...

 

 

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?

 

i think it prolly would look way better in person...but if you filled the whole red portion in with led's i think it would be very hot!

 

yea i just tried to make it different... in theory it looked a lot better... i didnt expect the lights to be so big when i get a chance and some $$ ill do it differently

 

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.

^^^^ definitely wouldn't 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

 

Props for originality and the idea and actually doing it.
But... the final product looks meh.
