how-to

Bump. Yea, lets have a how-to (please). And if someone fancies doing an electronics kit (leds, circuit boards, etc) to get things started for those that want to recreate this mod, that would be great.

i want all the bulbs to be in circles not LINES...try to keep em cheap but good...as usual if anyone has any cool ideas about what to use lemme hear em

I was thinking of a stylised arrow, this kinda shape (just looking at the shape of the arrow, not the construction - think of it wrapping around the corners a little).

oh and another thing..i read the how-to about making your own clears http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=howto&itu=2...has anyone tried this with clear plexi?? I was planning on getting some from a hardware store around here and substituting that for the lighting material. and maybe painting the inside of the lene a kandy red so it is still semi-transparent, then get some 3000 and scuff/buf the outside of the light

I was thinking similar, but leaving them crystal clear. I was also thinking about trying to get hold of some diamond pattern mirror plastic like BMW and Mazda currently use in their 3D tail lights. Hopefully our local Hobbycraft store will sell it by the sheet.

Does anyone do perspex taillight covers protectors/guards) for the 6g celica? I assume not as I can't be the first to think about using that to assist with taillight mods.

the best place that I've found its from a guy called CECE on ebay, he ships fast and like in 2-3 days and they are in the mailbox, they are 100% American and of great quality, I already have over 7 months with my LEDs with constant use every day and non have burnt, make sure you dont order exatcly the ammount you need, order at leat 5 more, because sometimes i've gotten around 3-4 leds that dont work, hope this helps

Just for an update, I ain't done anything with my lights yet, but I am hoping to move house soon and I am definitely having a garage this time so I will then be able to make more of a mess without the ball and chain shouting at me

Anyway, not forgotten about you guys, as I have them all seperated I will also try to remember to take some assembly pics and write a little howto for ya (don't wanna make it too detailed as its good being the only one with em in the world bwah hahahaha

Anyway, something will appear this year guys. stay tuned.

Id be more than willing to send a set of USDM stock tails to toy around with if you decide to make them to sell. Id love a set. Keep up the work, enjoy having a garage.
