Man that looks great.

 

i usually dont like LED;s but thats awesome man!!

 

Not sure how much. If I do, I just get people to make offers, highest one within a day or 2 will get it minus the camera.

 

I would buy one, looks cool as hell, nice work.

 

Dyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam that is Shweet!!!!! i liek it!

 

Where can i get Red translucent vinyl?

 

I have to ask why you are using so many LEDs, why not just use fewer, but brighter ones? (For the license plate light I mean). Just curious

 

Any sign shop should carry translucent red and different shades of it too! If you want to buy a 15" x 30ft roll of it, I can point you in the right direction for that too.

Brighter LEDs = more money. 100 white 13Kmcd LEDs are only $12 shipped now, so makes it cheaper Plus better light dispursion(sp?)...

 

Oh ok. Just curious. The light dispersion thing does make sense, although I have never had problem with beam width after you grind them down a little.

I have over 200 40,000 mcd LEDs sitting here

 

It's a top notch piece!! or you can buy a roll of tail light tape and it will be the same deal almost, just put the edges together

 

Damn I still want one. I would love to have one that is silver during the day and light up orange.

 

Man that looks like it took the better part of a day to solder!

 

could u go into more detail on how you wired them? (all together)
im starting a LED taillight project but am lost. my first time with LEDs...

 

...and what kind of shade did you use?

 

By no means was it an easy task to solder them even though the layout of it was simple.

As far as the shade of the vinyl, make sure it's not too dark of red. I initally thought I wanted it dark to look as stock as possible, but never could find any that I liked. I took the darkest they had, which actually looked just like a normal shade of red and against the black of the filler, it made it look alot darker.

 

I bet you were really good with light bright as a kid

 

Damn that's freakin' sweet!!! I did actually play with them too!

 

props to you man this is an AWESOME MOD!!

 

InfiniteReality, I had an idea to mold clear lexan and make a new tail light lens. I would arrange red LED's behind it for the brake light pattern and then tint the whole thing with that VHT Niteshades.

I could either run all the LED's through a resistor to lower their output for parking lights and then full blast for the brake lights.

Or I could run only a small portion full blast for parking and have double or triple the LED's light up for the brake.

Do you think something like this is doable?

 

amazing work!! congrats!!
love it!!
