Custom L.E.D. Tail Lights - Page 13 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

I hope you at least got someone with a decent looking car to proto-type them for you!

Be sad to see them rolled out first on a junker!

iceman_ii · 04-23-2007, 08:20 PM

OK, so maybe their first install wasn't on a "junker"

Yes I have been the beta tester for Late Night Customs, and it's taken a while, but I think you can all agree that it was worth the wait...

It was DIFFICULT to get some kind of night shot with the digital camera, the 4 night shots were all shot with the same speed and aperature... for an idea of the actual brightness of the brake lights, look how dim the high light on the spoiler looks, In real life, the spoiler light is bright, but the LED tails are MUCH brighter than that!

Parking Lights............................Brake Lights

they look good =)

Hey, I have an awesome suggestion for you. Ok I know you've seen the LED taillights on other cars and you know typically they have a kind of silver lens around each LED, well I know where to get them. They can be had for like $0.25-0.50 or something and it helps to add a classy look to it while also dispersing the light in a better pattern. Arranged in a pattern they would look similar to this taillight

or this one

It helps to fill in the area around the LEDs so that you don't have to create a complete wall of them. I'll get the website when I find it, but I thought it would be a cool idea to try.

Hi, did you find LED refractors or just a led mounts…

Lancelot_GT · 04-25-2007, 01:00 PM

They are parabolic refractors that are silver in color. When my brother wakes up I'll find out from him what the website was, but it's a company based in Hong Kong. They have great prices, shipping is decent, and orders arrive within the week.

So any for the 3000gts

Do you have good pics? vids? Maybe I missed it :/

Lancelot_GT · 04-25-2007, 11:59 PM

I found the reflector lenses, they're from this website called Besthongkong.com

Here's the link to the two different ones that I know of:
Reflector 1
Reflector 2

Mounted to a board or molded into a taillight LED assembly these would give the high tech appearance of the other taillights available.
