idk if i would be interested in trying to produce and sell these, if i did all i would do is sell you the entire led board to put in your lights. i wouldnt have people send me their lights and have me install everything. and i wouldnt mess with the grids on the lenes, way too time consuming and would never be profitable. but i really might sell the led boards if the cost for everything added up wasnt too expensive.

heres some pics of the third brake light and the plate light.

Depending on how these look installed, I'd be in for a set like that. I can handle the installation.

^^^Yeah me too, I need to do the liscense plate and the 3rd brake light, but when I get my new spoiler it will have an LED brake light so I'd kinda be wasting my time

But lets see those tails.......

There is already someone making the plate light, he is a member here too (Brian @ ledvault.com), I bought one and installed it and like your light it lights up the ground more so that then plate IMHO, the issue is getting the light more on an angle other than straight down, I took mine off an went back to one led bulb, works just as good but a lot cheaper, IMHO
A long time ago I looked into Led tails and found a company in NY (spaghetti engineering) that makes custom led lights mostly for older muscle cars, they will do the t/a's and firebirds for like $500, but when their done they are state of the art.

sorry guys, just been real busy

had to finish painting a hood, rims, and fix my car.

well i havnt made much progress, the lenses arnt coming out the way i thought they would. after sanding the grids out theres still little black spots here and there imbeded down in the plastic i cant get out, and i cracked one of the lenses too.

so now im in the process of just getting another set of lt1 tails and just leaving the grids in the lenses.

shouldnt take no time once i get another set to finish these up.


im also thinking about changing my plate light to where i have the board angled to where the led's shine directly onto the plate instead of pointing straight down towards the ground.
