I just realized I hadn't gotten these back yet and the car is going to paint soon. I will check paypal to make sure I actually sent the money....

 

i remember you did and it's still on my to do list. if you can resend me your shipping information i will have yourse sent out first. i have 3 sets i am doing so have been trying to do all phases at the same time. sorry for taking so long.

 

No problem, it would have looked odd having a nice looking part on my car in its current state anyway, lol. But soon all will be right in the world.

PM sent.

 

Definitely excited for these too. Thanks for all ur hard work Ben.

 

Car should be out of paint next week, can't wait to see it with these installed!

 

Hello am update on rear taillight mods,,

 

finally got a break to set aside some time to work on the 4 sets i have to do. finished the LED strips, made a template for the diffusers(to make any future assemblies easier to fabricate), have the lenses all polished and working now on finishing up the diffuser/LED assemblies to be installed.

should be all done this weekend with the sets for those who i accepted before halting production so long ago.

 

Hells to the yeah

 

here is one with a smoked tint done for Hozz, not sure if i totally like it as i was never a fan of smoked lights but i worked out the issues in getting this done after a few hours spent reversing the process, as the original process was causing the tint to crack and the clear coat to clump up.



it is almost completely blacked out when mounted to the car. in hindsight it probably would have been better to tint the inside but all previous coatings were done on the outside and the assemblies were already done.

 

When my car gets going. and its actually being seen by others.. Ill send mine in! MIne already have studs in bad repaired=D with plastic weld gun thingy

 

I've been mean mugging the UPS guy every time he drives by my house and doesn't stop to drop these off.

 

they're on their way, should be there in a few days. will be USPS though since there is no UPS store nearby to do dropoffs.

the process will be available when business is slow enough to accept it. i can't tell you how much i loathe doing these after only doing a few sets, lol. the amber ones will also require S5 FTPs with removable cover, the S4 after cutting apart leaves too little room for the width of the LED and casings, even with the S5 i have to trim the inside of the housing and shoehorn it in there.

so i suppose anyone who wants in can start a waiting list, will be at least a few months before i may have time. the new price of $180 will apply to any color but ambers currently will require S5 housings and i do not have any spare S5 housings left.

 

Lol, guess I should apologize then. Only thing is the UPS truck is loud, so I can hear him coming down the street, and mean mug on the way back out. USPS on the other hand does on foot ninja deliveries on my street so no opportunities to mean mug

Any progress on the LED tails?

 

not yet, busy time now so maybe once summer is over i may have some free time for projects. tails might be a little easier to work with, a bit more room in there.

 

How powerful of a light could you fit in that spot? Not necessarily in the FTP lens but that opening in the bumper? My intercooler piping took place of the headlight assembly and I would like to be able to see the track at a night. Been looking at different offroad LED options but it's hard to gauge what would be effective.

 

if it's solo drift there are plenty of halogen units that spread tons of light that are very compact. i wouldn't use them for street or tandem use though, you will be blinding people. i am referring to offroad lights.

 

You can squeeze an hid projector in there.

 

The new enduro and off-road LED light bars throw a TON of light. I see guys using them for Enduro racing a lot around here.

 

There has to be a way to get something like this manufactured....i realize you probably have to order hundreds at a time...so it does not make much sense...

 

unfortunately yes, but on the upside the LED strips have been getting more compact and easier to squeeze into the housings. the main issue was the S4 housings require trimming to get them to fit inside the black plastic housing otherwise they interfere with the lens. the S5's didn't require much trimming if any at all and could be disassembled without cutting and regluing the lens to the assembly.

so i may do some more in the future but the requirement would have to be limited to S5 FTP housings. the series 4 units made the work almost not cost effective.

small projectors could also be mounted inside the back lense.

 

what options are there for the hid projectors in the rear of the ftp? I already have hid headlights and will be retrofitting the fogs for the h3 hids

 

Bump for curiosity

 

How do I get on the waiting list?
