Civic coupe LED tail lights

Alright fellas...let's see, after slapping in my HID kit, I got to thinking...hey, it'd be nice to see if I could get some fancy LED tail lights while I'm at it. Though, I've never heard of LED tail lights being made (even as mods) to civics. Now, if they do not exist, then I guess there's a good reason. But...if I just haven't searched the right places, then I guess that's where, hopefully, you guys come into play.

I'll admit I was too lazy to search the entire forum for LED links, but the couple of posts I did search through, I couldn't find anything related to this. Do any of you know of a good place to find LED tail lights for a 2001 Honda Civic Coupe? I'd be really curious to find out more about em.

never heard of them.... maybe you will have to make them which i wouldnt think would be too hard, well u might wannna get a diff kinda headlights to start with cause u will need to drill and wire n shit..., should be a fun project tho, if u get the right kind to start with it will be easy and of course will look good too

Synikal,

Hmm...I'm near Atlanta, GA, in a northern suburb actually. I doubt there are any shops that custom taylored to Honda cars around here. But, if your buddy does start up an LED type shop, definitely let me know! I'm interested, though something tells me buying those taillights would not be cheap! $_$

I'm actually up in the Alpharetta area. Though it seems like 90% of Atlantans live in Marietta! Almost all of my baseball team lives up there.

Anyway, I didn't know they made LED replacement bulbs for Civics? I mean, personally, I'd like a whole conversion set of lights seen in a lot of Infiniti cars. I have grown to really like the rear lights of the G35s (coupe and sedan) and I've also noticed LEDs on a Mercedes and even local friggin' stoplights. It's insane. But I do think they react and show up better at night than traditional lights. I just think they're plain cooler than regular bulbs.

I thnk they already do make replaement bulbs. Like you don't need to change your entire light assembly just to have LED's.

Or go to www.google.com and search for LED auto bulbs.

Thumbs up very nice!

75shot, that's exactly what I'm talking about right there. Those have a similar design to the G35. I think they look quite sleek and badass! I'm going to see if I can search around some on the net for stuff like that, but if you guys come across any for Civics, please let a misinformed bro like myself know!

-edit-
Wow...I'm just now realizing that you actually took G35 LEDs and modded them. That's pretty impressive shtuff. Nice job dude.
