My unique custom LED concept-style tail lights installed!

Finally I got the electro tech to do the installation, and he did it perfectly. My Z now looks exactly as I always wanted))

Absolutely amazing; I would definitely pay that for those. Brings it up to par (if not better) with the new MDX tail lights.

This looks very good. Sandro, can you explain the lighting sequences of the LED strips (i.e. which part lights up with braking, etc.)?

Absolutely phenomenal Sandra,

The most modded ZDX by a long shot, the taillights look amazing. Maybe you have a future career as an Acura designer, possibly. ; Enjoy your ZDX.

contour LEDs (the most beautiful part) light up with paring lights on

two lines of LEDs in the outer sections of tail lights are brake lights

Oh SANDRO how I love these lights and since our Z's are twins they really really make me want them for mine haha. I believe I found a google images photo of the rear of your Z where you have the back up sensor's on and the reflector blacked out haha I have it saved on my phone for "future" ideas I think the back up sensors I'm getting in September and I may just black out the reflector on the exhaust next. But sure wish I had those bad ass tail lights! Great job!

problem is that it takes roughly a month to make one set the LED guy is slow and careful and also busy with other things, its his hobby

my second set is expected in a couple of months

EXCELLENT SANDRO!

I agree, it's surprising this was not standard, even in 2010, with the amount of tech. The old school lights will be the first item to "date" the ZDX, and you have eliminated that! Good job.

If anybody think about upgrade their headlights or taillights, I'd found this website zLEDs » One Man Army can do the same thing. The guy do the work live in U.S, have a long waiting list. I'd contact him and ask him all about the price which cost around $600-$900 and all the informations what he going do , shipping cost , and etc.... You can check his website show he work. I was going get my headlight and taillights done but it cost too much for me. I hope somebody in here will do it, hope i will see alot of pictures.

Finally I pulled the trigger with smoking my new tail lights, only because there are powerful LEDs, otherwise its not safe with OEM incandescent light bulbs. I think the result is pretty awesome))

I'll try. But they look exactly like before, at night there is no noticable difference in light output on pictures
