led tail lights Options

[TJH4EVA]

im lookind to get led tail light bulbs instead of the regular bulbs from v-leds.com. i am planning on tinting m tail lights and i was told that it ould be ok if my lights are bright enough. my questionn which would be the best way to go? would white leds show the color of the lens throught the tint or should i use led bulbs with the same color as the light required such as red led bulbs for brake and tail white for reverse and amber for the turns. which one would ne brighter

[manphibian]

I've tried a few LED bulbs.

NONE of them were really bright enough. Always ended up putting the original bulbs back in, it's just not the right kind of light

Plus if you put LED's in the turn signals, the car thinks they have blown so they flash at double speed.

The Man's right you know . As you can imagine, I've tried loads of combinations of different multi cluster LED's and they're all generally inferior because....

1) LED's are inherently directional - the intensity drops off dramatically as you increase the viewing angle, whereas a filament bulb is the same intensity from any angle.

2) The original housing and lens pattern were designed for the type of light produced by a filament bulb.

An alternative might be to strip the unit(not easy) and fit some custom multi LED panels. Culpable04 made some for his and I think he was looking to get them produced if there was sufficient interest.

p.s... I believe you can change the flasher relay to an electronic type which gets over the double flash speed if you must use them for turns

i want them tail lights but cant read that

[snakeloa]

They both look very interesting. Who makes them? As i understand they are selfmade JDM projrcts. Right?

How would it look if you make 2 LED circles instead of one circle + a line

damn this is looking good...

[Random_Stranger]

I like what I see fellas......... Those with the circle though would look better with two circles, at least I think so. When they make those, let me know.

Here is a translation of the website with the auction for the LED lights with the circle.

LED tail?

Someone get some of these state side! Even my wife says i should get em lol

[snakeloa]

Ok does anybody knows (maybe celica 7389) who made these? Are they of the same "producer"? I would be interested in having a set with two circles in each tail light.

2nd question:
The one with the stripes (just above my post) semms to have a flat lense inside. I want to say that it has an even surface on the inside of the lense. The other one has sqaures. What do you see / think?

cheers Joerg

[frisp]

I do love these on mine

[bccentaur3]

IMO its too futuristic on the 6th gen. I like the jdm tails as is.

[garin]

i smoked my tails, brake light, sides, and turn signals. they are all completely black. i just have the stock bulbs. it is still bight. the corners are cool because to amber still reflects. go for it it looks good. i haven't had any problems with cops yet. i'm also tinting my windows soon. btw another nice modification is changing the license plate light to white LED. i used three LED's in place of each bulb. with the smoked lights it looks pretty sick at night.

[mitchy]

I do love these on mine

some body needs to produc something like this, wud be way cool

[95GTCelica]

Dont know if anyone noticed but these lights are on the same celica as these photochopped lights from an earlier thread.

Same guy in Japan who sells them? Or maybe something a little fishy? Just a heads up.

[Taskbot]

How hard do you think it would be to retrofit an LED array into my existing taillights, because if its pretty easy I could start making these

[Photoguy1313]

now that i like...were do i get a set like that...or how do i make it....lol

love the look how much were they...

[frisp]

Another lot on Yahoo Japan auctions at the moment. 30,000 Yen + fee + postage.

I bought a load of other stuff at the same time, so the postage didn't hurt too much

I also rewired the RH tail to incorporate a fog light in place of the reversing light to comply with UK law.

i agree with you,,,
on the day it looks,, really bad,,, probably its only a night car

[mitchy]

id still have that "night car" one, its something different. and you could maybe even paint the black part the same colour as ur car

[snakeloa]

I think if the clear lense would be a little tinted and if the Led Clusters would be without the metal ring around them then it would look like hell.

and you would kill for it

well i would

Who made them???

They look like they're winking at me

[richee3]

You know, looking at this thread again.. I used to love these lights. Now, I think I don't want them at all. i still want some LED's, but.. I want even rows and columns of LED's instead of circles. More of an OEM look. Take a look at any new car with LED tail lights- they are all arranged perfectly. This is just a circle in the middle of a square hole. I'll see if I can't find something like what I am looking for.

[Culpable04]

maybe something like this ?

LEFT with LEDs, Right with regular bulb

[Slick]

Closer, please!

[richee3]

Yes, EXACTLY like that!

[trdproven]

looks good but the problem is in the inner brake light, why is there a horizontal line going across?

looks good but the problem is in the inner brake light, why is there a horizontal line going across? the oem is two squares so why cant the LEDs be two circles?

[richee3]

I figured that had something to do with the reflectors being in the bottom half of the lights where the single line is. It might look kinda funny if half of your circle of LED's is fine and the other half is kinda distorted. But either way, I like what Culp posted up a LOT better than the ones with the circles.

[Culpable04]

the brake lights have a reflective area, that's for safety, in case your car is off, and someone is driving toward it from behind, the other cars light should reflect thus alerting the driver.

if you look at the picture, I took it with the flash on, so what you see is a reflection of the flash of the camera.

^^^ where can i get and how much?

[trdproven]

^ thats the nicest mod ive seen for the tails, looks legit. But yes thats exactly the problem with the reflectors, thats why I stated I dont like the line going across it ruins the whole effect unless you can pull it off like the one above. who modded that anyways?

[razor7]

Yeah,
but he also killed it with that orange box.... Get rid of that, and I'd take a set.

x2

They look sick.

So you cannot change regular JDM tails with LED's?

[spy00005]

i have jdm tails what i wanted is those led rings not to buy whole taillight set just the led's so i wanna know where to buy those leds. and i wanna know how he got rid of didviding line that makes it look bad. i didn't think he redid the whole light housing untill much later. they look real original at the same time real oem look.

[CelicaGTSboy23]

i want a set of those. full assembly. Those are sick.

Hello I'm a newbie but has a lot of skills under my hood. I know how to make lights it can either be headlights or tail lights. I've dealt with circuit boards, resistor, capacitors, led, etc in the computer industry. I use to be a PC Technician, Network Technician, and Cisco Certified Network Administrator. The very last job I had was working for a Toyota dealership as a Lube Technician it only lasted for a year till I quit didn't like the atmosphere. The good thing is that I still get employee discount.

I made a custom headlight variation for 1990 to 1993 Acura Integra. But I get a few people that wanted me to show them how I made it. I refuse because it's my design and I don't want to get rip off.
