Yeah somebody already posted this car (but with a better picture of the tails) i think the thread name was "I want these!" or somethen like that.


They're hot! i want them badly. and I wish I trusted myself to pull apart my S5 tails and try and make those.

If somebody could figure out exactly how to make those. And started making them...id imagine he would have a lot of rx7 buyers on his hands. Id imagine they would go for a lot too.

I just bought led bulbs and slpped them in...
granted they are nowhere near the styling of the circle of single LED's from the pic...

BUT they do have the nice LED effect, the bright crisp light and the quick "flash" when they turn on

the blubs are simply OE style replacements, you put them in just like normal bulbs but they are LED's as opposed to the typical halogen

they look great. but IMO theyll look even better with smaller LEDs placed closer together with tinited lense for a less ricer look. but still awesome the way it is.
