NEW Tail Light Idea

[Shpyder]

i like the stock 2G tail lights...the shape i mean. i wouldnt want to do a conversion though, instead i dig what nayr747 is saying...same shape but red crystalline, or even red halo rings.

[Nayr747]

Well when this is what they think is cool, you know they need help.

[turbo2nr]

why dot you just put 4" truck led into the tail light? you will get the g35 look. when the lights are on and it will look mean with 2 led lights on each side of the eclipse..

what is a 4" truck LED?

[george536]

thats nice scottsee. good job. i wish they can sell those already.

[Shpyder]

I'd like to take the BMW halo rings they sell separatly on ebay, put them in a red tint, cut up a stock eclipse tail light, and put three of them where the otherwise regular aftermarket "circles" would be...i could do all the setting up, but i hate working with electricals and swouldnt know how to connect the thing etc, plus amp ratings etc are an issue...dont wanna blow a fuse. how about clusters og high intensity red led lights per light?

Next time you see a semi, look at the taillights they are a bunch of leds going in a circle.

But you wouldn't get the see-through red look. That's the whole point. Actually what would be really nice is the see-through look with some nice leds like you guys are talking about in there. Wait, that's exactly what's in the G35's. If you guys haven't seen these lights in person you're missing out. Whenever I see a g35 coupse go by at dusk I almost fall over. Good lord!
Anyhoo, I did a bit of research and found another option. It's not as good as TYC or whatever making a professional design, but it seems to look good on other cars. If you do a search on google you can find a lot of other pages about it.

This is what I was thinking: Buy some chrome/red tails off ebay or whatever then heat them and take the cover off, put some leds or holo rings in there, then put it back together and do the testors. It seems like it would look almost exactly like the G35's. What do you guys think?

[george536]

has anybody tried emailing apc or somebody?

[scottsee]

its obvious these tail lights wouldnt work, without an unbelivable amount of fabrication. but it looks cool.

[george536]

damn that sucks. imma print out the picture and give it to my cuzin and see what he can do. he made some lights for a 99 civic and they looked bad ass. maybe he can do somethin similar with these, i dont think they would be perfect but will c. if he's down for it ill post pics of the project.

Nay747 tahts what im saying man!! chop some aftermarket lights...thow in some truck 4" or halos....the only thing im concernred about is the wiring compatibility with the stock stuff...

[george536]

u can always mess with the wiring to make it compatible juss watch wat your doin or you'll blow everyfuse in yo car.

[Nayr747]

The LEDs use hardly any power though. I read how to wire up leds. I actually made a cigarette pack that lit up every time you tilted it. You can just calculate the current it needs and use resistors or whatever and something about ohms... it was a while ago. They're really cheap too if you buy em seperately. I have this site that sells them for almost no markup.
Whenever I overcome my lazyness, I'll see what some companies say about the design.

By the way Shpyder, ur car looks nice. I always thought the turbo spoiler would look good on the spyder.
