These appear to be pretty bright too...

 

Ok...so there is something out there. purerx7, do you know who make those? Or are they custom one off?

 

They are in production and you can order them (at least in Japan):

Google Translate

If I read it right, for a new set (no trade in of yours), the cost is around $1,3000. If you send in yours, it's around $750. Or it might be $750 for a set from their used OEM stock.

They also have a Youtube channel so you can see the light output for yourself:


Would be interesting to see this on a sunny day. Regardless, not my cup of tea as they are individual LEDs.

 

They looks pretty cool Bryan .

 

The first picture looks different from the ones that are on the yellow FD.

Am I the only one who is noticing that? The first one, the lights appear to be more solid, but on the yellow FD the LED's look all individualized again. >_<

Yeah...I'm not a fan of the individualized LED bulbs, either.

>_<

 

It is brake function the camera over exposes the image making it look solid but if you look closely you can see the bulges of light.

 

From last night:




BTW, this is a photo (obviously at night) with just the running lights on. They are CRAZY bright when the brake is applied.

Daytime photos/videos are coming guys.

 

What are the price on these $1000.00 or so ?

 

If you like the individual LED look, the pics are nice. The car is really nice BTW.

LEDs do funky things in pics though so take one at night with the brake lights on and that way you can compare the brightness to the center OEM lights. The daytime pics will also help quite a bit. I'd suggest you leave one side "OEM" so you can compare the brightness. Also take one from a bit of an angle as a lot of LEDs have a very narrow viewing angle.

And if you'd like, I have some light brightness testing equipment and am happy to test one of your lights as compared to the stock setup. That's the best way to determine the level of the light output. I already have the numbers for the stock or 99 spec taillights.

 

More pix please.

 

IIRC they are being sold for $1000

more pics

 

^ Pic #1 above shows exactly what I referred to regarding the angle of the LEDs. See the difference in light output from the left versus the right? The left is quite a bit dimmer than the right and that is with just a slight shift to the right. That means the LEDs used have a very low angle of view, translating into a big loss of light when you are not directly looking at them.

I'd also guess by looking at the same pic, the light output of these will be questionable during the day.

Could be wrong though so looking forward to seeing pics during the day. Again, a great comparison would be to leave one side stock and then show the pics.

 

i will be taking the pics to show the difference. i havent put my set on yet and will leave my converted 99 tails on one side and the led one on the other side. i will do day time and night time. exposure will be the same when taking pics and metered accordingly closest to what my eyes see (obviously it wont be the same bc the dynamic range is soooo great on your eyes as opposed to a camera). no editing on the pics. straight jpeg from a 5d mark 3

i will also do the viewing angles as well to compare left right top bottom

 

^ Cool, that is the way to do it. I make the offer again to test one of the units for you so you would know exactly how these stack up to the brightness of stock and 99 spec units.

 

DHTSA at it again lol

 

People who can't let things go at it again lol.

 

That's cute hahaha.

 

The downfall of 5mm LEDs is you can never get them straight so the some LEDs look brighter than the other making it "home made" looking.

 

dirka dirka

 

Sorry, but the mayday lights look like some kid's science fair project pieced together.

 

Pretty impressive work

 

Man I'm jealous of your FD LED tail light options...I'm gonna have to start making some for the FB's
