That looks really cool!! Nice work. I am sure many members would buy it. I would be one of them.

 

I have a question.....Did you have to remove the bumper to take the tail lights out??

 

I want this done!

I was behind an infinity FX35 the other day and noticed that the rear lights were "blacked out", much ths same as this, but when she hit the brakes, they lit up "led red". It was pretty sweet and I was wondering if we could accomplish something like that.

 

This is gonna look soooo hot on your color! I can't wait to see the final results. This is a MUCH better look than film covers; like no doubt about it (IMO).

 

Beautiful! Come to the next meet in Chicago, I want to check this out in person!

 

Thanks everybody for all the good feedback. It makes me feel a little better about all the time spent on these. They should by on the ride by the end of next week. Im just waiting for the rear side markers, and some LED bulbs for the turn signals. I already signed up for the Chicago meet.

 

Great job! The lights look really great!

 

Damn that looks good. That look would be the only reason I get rid of the solid red tails.

 

slick!! cant wait for installed pics

 

i agree. sickest, and most original mod out these days. kudos to you for being the first and only. you could definitely start a trend.

on AM, you cant go wrong. i think i speak for everybody when i say we want those pics when your done!!!

good work

 

Can't wait to see them on.

 

i know you have DIY or a bunch of threads that could help someone to do it, but i think if you became a vendor or did some of these during your free time for members... you'd make a lot of extra money because i'd be interested

 

I've already groveled! LOL! It ain't gonna work! Dude says it takes time and you need 2 sets of tails!

 

There has to be an aftermarket company out there who'd be willing to produce a product like these. Then again, would there be enough demand for someone to consider making them.

 

I'm sure there is sufficient demand, although many TL drivers (probably the vast majority, but that's only a guess) are at an age where they're not interested in modifiying their cars so significantly, if at all.

On that note, If only there was a company that manufactured the cleared out headlights. People would snatch those up so quickly it would make heads spin.

 

but with any nice car, as the model years go by, they become more affordable. I bet you around 2010 the 3G TL will be every 17-21 year olds car. I mean look at the 2G TL's......alot of young kids drive them now. My younger brother is 19 and 4 of his friends have 2G TL's.

 

Yeah I've considered doing these as vendor, but it would be very costly. I'm one of those people that works very carefully or in a better word ....... slow.

(2 sets of taillights) + (paint and sealant) + (shipping both ways) + (my labor) + (vendor fee) = some expensive f@#k!ng taillights lol

I don't mean to sound blunt or anything. I just don't think it would be possible. After everythings is done though, I will try to put together a pretty comprehensive DIY.

 

Hey! Did you catch my PM ding069?

 

Yes......I have a few people PMed me and I give them a price. after that i havent heard from them ahhahaha.

 

very nice cant wait to see the final and on your car

 

wow! hurry up and slap them on.

 

haha seroiusly. first set of black tl lights out there?! what a pioneer

 

dude......we are all awaiting the install.......

how much longer do you expect it to be

the lights look awesome and im sure they will look even better on the car than off

 

+1 on the pic expoditing

 

thanks and as more people do this mod, more and more DIY/tips will come out and this mod should get easier and easier, as did the headlight clearing mod has gone through this phase....

thanks again !!!

and i look foward to this.

i was just wondering, if we could do anything that looks close to this moded tailight with just 1 tailight (whether it is the 04-06 taillight or the 07 taillight)

 

because i know a lot of people would jump on this if we were able to use just our 04-06 tl taillights and some paint...

 

No way you can do this with 04-06 tails, natively.
It's the front clear lens that you need... and those only come 2007s. You could buy a sinngle set of those and hack em up though.

 

Still no vendor for this hard ass mod...

C'mon people! How much of my hard-earned I gotta give up to get this killer-mod?

 

its probably not gonna be cheap. like they mentioned, 2 sets of light. the clear lense on the 07 lights, and the backing of the 04 - 06 lights. if he was to do this, and sell.. expect it to be > = $500

 

$500?? Hmm...hmm...maybe after my grille...

 

I'm sorry, I would have posted sooner, but I got stuck drooling over the first few pics!! Damn the lights look hot!! I want it....NOW!!!! I'm with everyone else though, lets see some finished pics.

 

Yeah I know, Im dragging. Im sorry

 

Yeah I know, Im dragging. I've been busy with work, and plus the temperature dropped to the 30's in Chicago. Its gonna be a little longer, sorry. I did put them against the car the other day and wow its gonna be good.

 

Now if you could just put in a custom LED board into the sides with some amber LEDs ala BMW E46 3-series.....you my friend would have the best set of tail-lights anyone has seen!

But then again if u have to go to the drawing board again you'll have us drooling for weeks to come.

 

They look like Venom taillights for the that new Spiderman movie coming out!!!!

They are hot...great work dude

 

looks good....now get them on the car already, and you better be at the Chicago meet on the 28th so I can get some pics of them and see them in person!

 

wow i just saw this..looks sick but i want to see it on YOUR car.

 

Looks real nice, where's the pic on your car?
