Can anyone post up a manufacturer and/or model number of the lights that they're using?

 

yeah i was going to ask the same thing, bump for interest!!!!

 

there are soo many generic brands. Look em up on ebay.

forgot what brand those are

 

What size are the lights? As in the circle ones? 3", 5" round?

 

Exactly. Nobody wants to buy a thousand lights to come up with a whole bunch that don't fit properly or look like ****.

 

This would be good info.

 

4inch

 

Thanks!!!

 

yeah 4 inch leds are the size. I like a few of those custom ones posted by a few with board and all. I wasnt even thinking about that. As far as model numbers go, sorry, i can tell you as I would need to take them about again. What I can say is that I originally found a set on ebay, seen they were located in so cal, emailed them about coming to pick them up, turns out they were in ontario, off miliken. A place called the chrome shop, its a trucker shop. They had many choices to choose from, I really like those lights with the middle empty, looks like a skyline. However at the time they only had three of those lights, I didnt want to wait the couple days for the shipment, so i found these that i liked as the pattern was nicely spread.

And guess what i got a camera for christmas, yeah!!!! So i went out and took a few pics with it, its not a point and shoot and i havent master the lens and stuff, but much better than my phone, lol.



and with brakes



I could go take some take time shots right now and post them as my car is just outside, but..........might wait till i go somewhere....lol

 

ahhh yeah i have drove past that place when i used to hit up pick a part but never stopped by.

Just hit up ebay, you need 4 for the tail lights , and 2 for the corners. When i did it, i ordered 2 red ones then realized i cant find a matching other 2, so i used those for the corners *its ebay so cant cancel an order* and found 4 matching ones.. hence why my turn signals are red. Its not bad though.

Another mod i thought about was doing the led lights and keeping the clear diffuser in there so they would look all original but with the intensity and response of leds.

 

hypertek, all i got to say is you did an awesome job. I'm going to led my tail lights soon, I'll put up pics on how i did mine when there done, and also when there on the car. but anyways I really like the halo affect you did too.

 

I will give someone a dollar if they add this into their brakes.

I'd do that for my turn signals. Where can you get those?

 

i would too, thats a great effect

 

I bought those led lights and going to install them soon, i was going to use those for my turn signals and the brakes just a standard halo effect just like how hypertek did with his brake lights.

 

here is the link on ebay for the lights:

So, in removing the stock reflector behind the bulb, you've disabled the ability of the lights to reflect. OEM lights are not just signal lights, but also reflectors. For example, if the car is parked at the side of the road, headlights of approaching vehicles will reflect in the tail lights. Or rather, not so much any more because the LEDs have been installed.

Would seem to be a safety issue to me.

 

I might be wrong. But doesnt the lens cover have a reflector on it?? that long strip under the the two brake/parking lights

 

It does

 

Question: What do you use to reseal the lights once the modification has been done?
Does condensation get into them after they’ve been opened if not sealed properly?

 

silicone adhesive to glue them back together.. Clear or black will do.

Aaron, the rear covers have reflectors.. and on that subject, cant be worse then those people who tint their tail lights.

 

I wonder how these would look with the diffuser lens left in...

 

Rather than silicone. Just stick them back in the oven for aboit 5 min. Then press the lens back and hold them there for a few moments and they will seal up just fine.

 

Any progress?

 

anything on this?
