LED Taillights ?

[88YotaTurbo]

Anyone ever see someone with LED tail lights for our mk3? Do you know where to get them? What do you thing about LED lights?

Seen em. they're fucking rad. But you can't buy em, gotta make em yourself. LOTS of time and money went into it.

DAMN 2000 dollars for them DAMN

 

[SupraOfDoom]

They make the entire assembly from scratch. Someone needs to donate 89+ tails to them.... they were interested.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota offered stock tails for the same price

 

[Poodles]

stock tails are under a grand form the dealer IIRC...

they need a set of mint tails I bet though...

I'd love to get some from them, wonder what the discount will be for donating a set of good stockers...

There is someone on here that made his own, I bet he would make some, for the right price.

Tekdues...i believe.

I will probably make a set when I got more free time and a second set of tails.

 

[88YotaTurbo]

I have s pare set of pre 89 tails. I'm going to try and fabricate some. What LED pattern to you think would look best? I was thinking like a ferrari style starburst.
If it isn't too too hard I'll over the service to you guys. Hopefully I can find a design that will be acceptable to multiple patterns so if I and up selling them people can choose what style they want.

You have to also drop the power down on the LED's are they will be to bright, and that is illegal. I might try a set after my paint and stuff. (Which means next year...)

DAMN 2000 dollars for them DAMN

If you weight in your time and material, it cost that much. Well, that is depend on how much your time worth.
So far, it spend over 200 bucks for parts excluding hidden cost like electricity for solder, wires, .... and that is I get most of my leds in quantity discount.

That is what the job of the resistor. Higher resistance (less current flow) the led will be dimmer than low resistance (more current).
