wow... those really do look nice

 

yeah i would really like to figure how to do that. ive never seen anyone convert tail lights on s5s like that. maybe coz theyre awesome the way they are haha. except those led lights would be even better.

 

Go To Radio Shack and buy some LEDs and Hot glue them into the back of the Cone shaped plastic that holds your current bulb.

Items needed. 6 12v LEDs from Radio Shack. You can buy them in Red, Green, Amber, White and Blue. A small Drill bit just the size of the LED and your moms Hot Glue gun. Mild electricle knowledge and a Soldering Iron.

Make a Template for Drilling a pattern in the back of the plastic. Make suer that whatever pattern you choose the Drill holes are spaced properly or else it will be rice No matter what after that. Drill the holes and then mount the LEDs with the Hot Glue gun be careful because LEDs are hot when burning so you may have to mount them and glue from behind but know that nobody or nothing is going to touch the LED so you really don't have to worry too much about the sturdiness.

Once the LEDs are mounted then Hook them to the power source. Your current bulb has a Positive and a Negative wire.

Some EE is going to have to tell you exact power max/mins and if you need a Capacitor in between or whatelse. Seems to me it's just straight 12v 10-25amp

How hard could it be.

This should take about 20 minutes, my Webelos Scouts made LED electrical circuits just three months ago......call if you need help I'll send a Webelo over there.

 

Are you kidding me? $250 bux.........

Mwahahahahahaahhah, All your base belong to us!~!!!!!!~!~~!~`

 

better pic:

 

OMG!! That car screems SEX!!

 

they don't look as good in the "better pic" but I think the angle made the first pic appear to have clear lenses with black underneath, if you smoked the whole lense (besides the area covering the ring, and had like 2 red rings whith and a gold circle when off, and the same but lit when on) it would look alot better, like a mix between S5 and gen 3 and then the LEDs to break the whole 7 chain.

 

I already know how to make them for the most part I just need some donor/scrap s5 tails to do it up but I can do it easily enough I think.

 

they kinda look like christmas lights to me, if somone could perfect them i'd be down, more LED's closer together, and how the hell to they fo brighter when the brake is applied? LED's only have one brightness setting unlike filament bulbs.

This is old anyhow. View Eriksseven's moded tails to figure out how to do this. I just orderd a LED set off ebay. Going to finaly do it. I sold my S5 tails a while ago to do this too so got to find a new pair now.

 

$250 for the kit plus $250 for a set of s5 tails equals i like the s4 tails better

 

250 for a kit + 250 for the tails I can buy a FC for that much! Wait a minute thats what my last FC cost!

 

ooh you could self LED the S4s.......... it'd also be cool to tdo that and slightly smoke the S4 tails, then LED them.

 

yeah i think im taking a trip to the junkyard or something to find some old s5 taillights. but im almost 100% sure that someone had already found them hahaha. i dont think theres to many s5 tail lights just laying around.

 

lol... Man I'm sorry- I guess I'll be the only one to disagree with everyone. No offense, but I don't find it that appealing. You guys remember that T-Mobile commercial with the AE86? That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this car.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about:
Edit: Sorry... I just had to mention the guage on the hood. It gets me every time. lol

 

eh... dont like them..

 

I never said I liked them. I just told you how you could make them yourself. the JDradioshackM doesn't seem to sit right.......

 

ALRIGHT PIMP MY RIDE FOSHIZZLE

 

i rarely see people take into consideration you need 2 types of LED for the modifications, if you install all low draw LEDs or high draw LEDs you will confuse people behind you as to whether you are braking or having your runnings lights on, if you are rearended you will be at fault, keep that in mind when modding them.

imo, i don't like them much, looks like the car belongs in a casino.

it is a very simple construction. i have been designin it for about 2 weeks now cause in going to make a set for my wide body 88 fc. i tring ot get the brake driving lights down. once i get that down a set of s5 light i will get the proto type done and then i will make a plastic mold and start by make a few.. ex. time about 3 month.. cause the army and the time restant.. but when i get the proto type drawings down i will show u guys a 3d drawing and u tellme what u thing..
