Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails Very nice. I've been thinking about a set of these as well. Look forward to the DIY man, cuz I'm going to do the same thing! |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails take a pic with them on your car! looks sickk |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails Well I got the lights sealed and on the car, but the driver side one keeps blowing a fuse. so I am diagnosing that. I will get more pictures after it is fixed. They look ****ing awesome though. |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails sick! |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails Lights look kick ass. I also love the tag. Keep repin the 7th gen. |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails That looks sweet bro! If the left one keeps blowing a fuse, that means that there's moisture in there and it shorted out the leds. Is it the fuse under the hood labeled small light in the fuse box. My dash lights and parking lights would not come on because this fuse kept on blowing due to that one particular side tailight. I had the same problem with my drivers side tailight...I'm on my second set already. |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails those look amazing! very similar to the black out jdm ones which uses black chrome. |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails SICK!!! nice job man |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails omg man...those look amazing...I love how the red even look like they are tinted...very very nice man. And there is no way a cop should say anything about them either! +10 |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails So I have finally finished them. There wasnt any moisture in the LED housing. It ended up being the plug that attaches to where the light bulb plug into. So I cut it off and hard wired them to the factory wiring. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC01239.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC01240.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC01244.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC01241.jpg DIAGNOSING THE SHORT http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC01246.jpg THE PROBLEM LIES WITHIN http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC01247.jpg You may notice that the lenses look a little warped. I think I had the oven too hot. It really isnt all that noticable unless you are looking for it. MY TAILS HAVE GONE FROM THIS http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC00122.jpg TO THIS http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC00327.jpg TO THIS http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC00899.jpg TO NOW http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/DSC01238.jpg |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails Freakin' amazing man. Absolutely top-notch!! |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails are u kidding me!? seriously man why cant there be manufacturers out there making these kinds of tails. i wonder how theyd look with the factory lens on. those look soooooo NICE!!.... |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails Sick! You would definately put APC and TYC out of business lol Imagine how they would look on a white or silver coupe! Nice!! Blacking out/tinting/or painting the tails from the outside is dangerous, and not Bright. You have everything: Bright Led's, Amber/clear turn signals, and black housing which looks Sick on black 7th gens! :tup: :rockon: |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails If you had replaced those lens with the 04/05 OEM lens then it would also would have looked good. But you wouldn't have the choice of having Amber or Clear turn signals, the only difference is that you would have black-housing OEM Tails with LED's. The way you did it Looks Better! Nice! Your car looks like a BMW or something alot more expensive now. Great job! :rockon: |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails Looks really nice!!sorry for the question but what do u guys mean when u guys say u baked them??? Sorry if its a stupid ?......... |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails baking means you put the whole light housing into an oven to melt the glue that holds the lens to the main body of the light. I appreciate the comments. |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails whered you get that lense? also are those altezzas LED? and sorry for so many questions, but how much did the final product cost? |
Re: Finally Figured Out What to Do With My Tails It would also look good if instead of painting it black you could paint it in candy apple red or a dark red. It would look Good on red 7th gens. Similar to the 04/05 oem tails, but with LED's & cleared turn signals :tup: Or painting the housing gunmetal or dark grey for those people with Magnessium metallic vics like me :rockon: Nice! |
