View Full Version : Boxer Rebellion's new tails
Boxer_Rebellion 06-01-2005, 02:37 AM I used Max2k's technique to candy the inside of the cover, also painted/smoked the reflectors around the bulbs... What do ya think?

xBino 06-01-2005, 09:04 PM did you leave that brake light cap in?
Boxer_Rebellion 06-01-2005, 10:14 PM did you leave that brake light cap in?
Yeah i did. You can only see it when the light hits it a certain way, or when it's on at night of course (looks very cool lit up...)
I've actually taken em apart twice... I might do it one more time to smoke the outer edge of the covers (the part you see on the sides and top) and do some more stuff with the reflector areas.
Max2k 06-02-2005, 12:43 AM The whole car is ruling. Good job.

Metro273 06-03-2005, 02:00 AM Don't know about the taillights BUT I'm diggin your wheels and DROP... :clap:
firesquare 06-03-2005, 12:43 PM good stuff. i think you should have taken that red cap out. oh well
Boxer_Rebellion 06-03-2005, 02:37 PM good stuff. i think you should have taken that red cap out. oh well
I'm gonna take em apart one more time for a little more modding, and I might take the red cap off then. Is the candy red cover enough or do I need red bulbs too? Also, what's an easy way to take the cap thing off without breaking it?
firesquare 06-04-2005, 05:10 AM Their are tabs on the cap. theyre pretty small. i just pulled them off and broke them anyways. i want the red top clear JDM lights MyBox offers

i have LED's in there. i used a red bulb before.
you can always trial and error. try out the clear bulbs. if you dont like the way they light up, go on over to your friendly auto parts store and get the red bulbs
down here i cant find those bulb numbers. i actually had to go to toyota and pay over 8 bucks for amber bulbs because one burned out :doh:
if you wanna go LED just for kicks, i got them here www.autolumination.com
Boxer_Rebellion 06-08-2005, 01:50 PM Good info, thanks :)
Boxer_Rebellion 06-08-2005, 02:12 PM I was just checking the autolumination 15 led bulb, looks quite interesting. I'm curious to know what people's experiences are with these... are they way brighter than stock?
ADDENDUM: Couldn't wait for reviews, just ordered them... Planning some additional mods to make the most of these led's.
caliman 06-08-2005, 03:32 PM Awww Sorry but me no Likey!

something interesting to try, a bit pricey tho
firesquare 06-08-2005, 05:25 PM the LED's have a sharper red. they are bright to me. but the reliability with them are great. just think this. a average LED will last 100,000 hours. Thats 11 years of constantly being on.
check the ice section i think for a full LED taillight mod using boards and stuff. looks neat but not for the solderly challenged :wink:
Boxer_Rebellion 06-09-2005, 02:47 AM Yeah I actually like the red bulb cover thingie so I ordered the plain white 15 led bulbs to go under them, and I have some ideas to make the surrounding area of the taillight look cooler. Will post pics in a week or so.
firesquare 06-09-2005, 04:03 AM white cost more i think. but tell me how it looks when you get them
bigbadhater 06-09-2005, 04:07 AM nice
