Those looking for the led S5 lights.
 
Found a couple sets while combing through all 5300 items listed on yahoo japan auctions... sadly not what I was looking for. $250-380 +deputy fees and shipping

Those look a bit odd, kind of like truck lights. I want some like this for the FC.

^love that look on fd's. Never seen anything close to similar on an fc tho.

Digi7ech 07-05-13 02:56 PM

I made a set for myself and then a couple of friends. Haven't made any in the last few months.

I make the boards myself since it's not worth doing a batch run of these board in large numbers. I got a cnc machine recently and plan on using it to make "prettier" versions

Video I made of my prototypes on my car. The turn signal halo is now turn signal only. Not on with running lights

Hey digi, if i mailed you my tails how much would it cost me for you to do an led set up?

AGENDARX7 07-05-13 07:28 PM

Yes please let me know? I'll take a set

slidin RX 07-05-13 09:15 PM

I'm down, I need to modded tails haha

Digi sick lights man.. Those would be a big hit on a group buy.

Ma7daPOW3R 07-08-13 11:13 AM

These look pretty good! Costs?

FC3S_nataku 07-08-13 06:31 PM

im down to send my lights in asap

Buy My Stuff 07-11-13 01:40 PM

Don't mean to jump on the bandwagon here but I'd love a set of those tails as well haha.

satal95 07-18-13 09:10 PM

I think we all would love these tails lol

I'm working on some that I can make easily. Mine are all hand made and etched so it's a total pain and not as good quality wise.

I'm in the process of reworking it to use my cnc machine to do the hard work.
Still in the initial stages. Code is almost ready for the led side. Working on making the power distribution board next. Then I'll make a little plexiglass enclosure to hold it.

Test cut in some plexi to see if it was cutting right. CNC's can be a bitch to get calibrated.

Yes! Very excited for this. Like I said, I have two sets I want done and can ship ASAP.

Thanks for keeping us updated!

nice! i love the look, im pretty happy with the ones that hypertek mad and sold me :) keep up the good work man looks sick

AngelsAndBombs 08-27-13 03:44 AM

Are you familiar with using fiber optic LEDs?

FC3S_nataku 08-28-13 10:10 PM

I'm still waiting for updates

Digi7ech 10-21-13 01:38 PM

Sorry dudes, Been crazy busy with building an FD.

Took the job of putting it back together in May and have had serious road blocks (Blown motor...) About to get it running again and will have free time to get back on the tails.

My Benchtop CNC was being a bitch too. Stupid amounts of backlash causing it not not be accurate enough for the small pcb traces. I did a bit of adjusting and hopefully I removed enough to get some neat traces out of it.
Here's a tip for CNC hobbyists. Sub $1k CNC machines need a lot of work before they work well.... ughh

i found a denford micromill locally for about $750 a few years back, hacked it(with Denford's assistance) to remove the lockout card required and got it running for about $900 with mach3 to do the actual milling and inkscape(a free program) to write the machine code with.

it's easy to spend $1k and still need to work out minor bugs but it's always best to start with a good machine and the Denford is very good for small intricate work. fine tuning is such a royal pain in the ass. the machine actually worked flawlessly but setting it up, converting images to code and making adjustments took a few weeks.

Hey Digi, when ever your ready to do a batch of fc tails i'll be ready. No rush over here.

p0tat0s 10-28-13 08:49 AM

hey Digi any chance you'd be willing to share those board files from eaglepcb? i've been playing around with eagle trying to make a decent set since i was inspired by your thread to make my own but can't seem to get everything looking right

HellaRotor 10-28-13 01:53 PM

im down over here too just gotta get another housing

Digi7ech 12-16-13 12:10 AM

Hey dudes, I'm back with an update.

Ditched doing it on CNC. Wasn't going to be precise enough.
Decided to learn how to make a board that can be sent off for prototyping.

Once I get them in the mail. I'll wire them together and see if I screwed anything up.

Sneak peak :D
