Here is a link!

 

from the reference to insurance stuff I'm pretty sure he's seen that thread. from the reference to insurance stuff. I think he wants specific information on how to do it, but the original thread was pretty thorough already, and there's really not much to it.

take your lenses off, take the diffusers out, put the lights in, put the lenses back on, done. The lights are already set up for 12v, and the OP in the other thread already tells you where to get them(eBay), so I dunno how much more specific you can get.

 

Any auto parts store will carry LED replacement bulbs that are DOT approved and replace the standard incandescent bulbs used. This is the easiest way to convert your tail lights to LEDs.

 

+1, got them and they work great!

 

you talking about tehse right?

Those have horrible light output.. very dim.. id expect someone with those to have a greater chance of getting rear ended compared to mine,.. a buddy of mine put those in his supra...

 

no...

Oh heheheh

 

Thanks guys all of you are really helpful does anyone know if theres someone i can pay to do this for me

 

www.clearcorners.com

good work but get ready to be poor

 

FIXED

 

PM I may sell mine or I could do yours if the price is right, took me a few days to get it right. Cost of materials +labor +your tail lights

 

can you do them like the sexy knights one with one circle instead of two hypertek ?

 

Why would you want to halve your rear lighting? That's silly.

 

The cheap ones are awful. It can take some effort to locate quality LED replacements since the auto parts stores are flooded with made in China stuff...

 

never mind guys thank you for all your help i got some led lights off of a rsx type s and i have started the conversion but i really thank you guys and maybe girls alot

 

are there any pics of s4 lights with leds

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD97GuTqetI , this guy charges 250, + you supply the original tails for the conversion. A little steep, but well done.

 

Same guy ^ as posted.
Thats Hypertek

 

Good to know.

 

actually those LED bulb replacements work great fore me.

 

spider lights make these LED conversions that fit into a regular incandecent hole. I've seen them on anything from Ducati's to Yukons. I've been looking for an FC application, but not really hard.

 

Those direct replacements give pitiful performance compared to an incandescent bulb. Any lighting changes should be an improvement over stock, not a downgrade, for obvious reasons.
