Tail light mod
 
I have never seen anyone mod their tail light other than tint or just getting the jdm clear lens version. Have you seen work done to our tail lights? I am definitely interested in a change.:stirthepot:

No, you need a hot knife it even attempt, you can't bake them like the headlights

Complete rework of the inside. If I figure the technical parts out, I will end up posting an interest check thread for design and price check. So far there are many challenges ahead but it definitely is a possibility.

im not sure how much better looking you could make them. i guess some people might want to add silly shower curtain rings that light up dif colors..... :/

You never know. It's all about taste...keep an open mind

fuct 02-26-2014 08:06 AM

ill try! :tup:

Riptide67 02-26-2014 08:45 AM

I personally would love if the LED lights came on in a sequence when using the brakes, not all at once.

having your brake lights come on fast and bright is a safety issue. i want people behind me to know im stopping!

Agreed. This will be solid, on all at once kinda light ;)

That's something that can be done if there is interest.

zefaulter 03-05-2014 03:23 PM

Got the first light. Will start this weekend :tup:

sub'd to dream about the mods I can't do myself..

zefaulter 03-05-2014 03:59 PM

Would be cool to have the LEDs like like in the new Audis or Mercs, where you can't even see the individual LEDs. ie the new CLA

I guess Kenchan would say I have a thing for LEDs :nutswinger:

I know what you mean, I guess what I meant was more of a flash to solid brake light transition.

And is it just me, or does anyone else like the way the brake lights double as turn signals on Mustangs? Always liked that feature.

Interesting...!

zefaulter 03-07-2014 12:04 PM

Ok, so the start up cost looks to be the major challenge. But, I plan on making a working prototype and then offer a group buy (of course with approval of our Almighty AK ;)). If the GB works out and we get enough interest, I will go ahead with the plan and invest in proper molds, etc...

So to clarify, you will have a whole new set of tail light replacements for purchase? Or our modified stock tail lights?
