Arrowhead lighting LED tails
First this is not a GB I will not discuss pricing or selling of these lights. If and only if I can manufacture these at a decent rate I may open a group buy. As of right now it is just a development thread where I am throwing my ideas out there and prototyping.
The subject of Led tails have been popping up so I am sharing my idea with you guys. This is what I came up with a couple years ago but many people don't look at the interior/exterior section so I didn't get much input.
This is just a photoshop not the real thing. It uses Lumiled Superflux lined up and set back from th lens to provide a blended look between the leds.

This is where I am still debating on. In order to use amber for the turns the lens will have to be clear. So I can either make the whole lens clear which will make the tails look aftermarket or stick with red lenses and use red as signal lights and keep everything stock looking.

I dont want to be a buzz kill but just a heads up, a glow shop already makes these and I believe they are working with Mayday Garage as a US distributor.
In no way am I discouraging you, just pointing it out in case you want to take it into account if you do decide to do a group buy. Interested to see the out come out! (IIRC you also made hid projector headlights too, which looked great!)

I have been working on these for a couple years and I have gathered FD guys like diffused and OEM look when lights are off.

yo these are made by qest japan QestJapan LEDテール・ランプ加工の株式会社クエストジャパン・FD3SRX-7・LEDテールランプ・ＱＪ−Ｆ３０３
they have a youtube video you can watch and plenty of photos
price ranges from $680-750 if you bring them your lights before/send them your old ones after. the shipping for this to U.S. wouldnt really be an option so they are $1300 without a trade. plus shipping to the U.S. if anyone is really dying for a set and willing to pay the shipping I can get you a set. but producing a new set for U.S. buyers is really a better option if you can get this price to the $700+core range.

I finally got caught up enough with retrofits I have time to start working on these. I already ran into a problem where the stock taillight lens diffuser material is basically impossible to find so I had to scratch that idea. So I went to home depot to pick up those lighting panels that go over fluorescent lights and here are the results. I am not impressed so there goes that idea lol.
The left side is what we are looking at the right is just a cob ring I stuck under there to see what it looks like.
So now I am going to order some red acrylic not my first choice but it seems like it is the only option right now besides light pipes.
