Ok guys i have an extra pair of Tailights for an 01-03 coupe, now i am getting creative and have purchased some LEDS, and am in the process of instaling 8 white LEDS in each reverse light housing in the shape of a ring around the stock reverse bulb inlet. I have one tail light done so far and will finish the other tomorow. I will also be adding 3-4 LEDS in the triangular area on the corner of the tailight that when installed on the vehicle would basicaly be on the side of the car, these wil serve the purpose of being another parking light or turn signal w/e you want to hook them up as. Soi will have pics up tomorow, and so far the one reverse light housing is very bright it is to hard to distinguish a "ring" due to te small area that is being worked with, but it is very bright, if there were HID LEDS these would be them. S l tme know if anone would be interested in this set, or haing e make them their won set iyou have a spare pairlayign around, PM me and we can work something out, havnt decided a price yet for the finsihed prduct, but i will see when i finish, and therefore you will have some pics to look at. let me know...

What did you use to make the distinction between when the car's light are on, and when the brake is applied? You know in place of the "old" double filament bulb.
here is the pics of the wiring and when its lit, i will be installign one of them on a civic today so the difference in the stock bulb and LEDS are comparible, i will aslo be adding thre LEDS for parking light on teh side of the tail light, but i will have more pics up later, let me know if you guys are interested.

the only problem with going trhoug witht eh brake lights, is the shape of the brakelight-housing on teh back, its no really suitable for mounting the leds, but i finsihe the first tailight as a whole tongiht i just need to fill the holes, i placed two leds above and below where the 194 bulb(parking light) sits in the corner and they are alot brighter( i used red LEDS for this) will have some pics up of thenew compared to stock in a while...
