I dimmed the X and left the outer leds alone. Kind of hard to tell in the pic, but I'm sure it would look aright at night.

 

box in the X

 

i like the square, x isnt bad either.

 

suhsweeeeet.

 

I'd go with an asterisk * or something more on the circular side. OTOH, I like the X much better than the box. (Oh, the irony.)

 

Is the square pattern too plain?

I want to go with something different. But there isn't too many modded stock tails out there, so its already different.

What do you folks think about leaving them a sliver color? I was thinking about painting them black(just the housing not the lens), but after seeing them the way I have them now. If I repaint it silver, it will seem like its more of a clear tail.

 

haha nice! im proud of you scotty!!!! :-)

you are definately doing your own thing here and that rocks. i dont think ive ever seen an "X" pattern tail light. i say go for it!

can you extend the X to the top and bottom edges of the tail/brake light section?

what about an X for running lights and then when you apply the brakes, a square that goes around the whole outer edges around the X lights up... ah i dunno but i definately like that yur going for it with this project!!! im still waitin for my ordered LEDs to get here :-(

Best of luck to you on this!!!

 

Yeah, I pretty sure I can extend the X. I just started small and with an even number of leds. Makes it easier too take the leds out and try different things.

I'm really starting to lean towards the X pattern right now. I'm going to mock it up again and try a couple of things with it.

I thought for sure you would have your leds by now. I just ordered mine a week or so ago and there already here as you can see. I can't wait to see your finished product. Its going to be bright as hell.

 

Do a Peace sign or a smiley face, rock on man!
I wish i could do something like this

 

bump
Added more pics

 

I like the first pics of the box, it looks the cleanest! but man that is so sweet!
you should make it bigger, add like 3 more rows vertical and 2 more horizontal.

lovin em'!

 

What about an x in the left and a b in the right?

 

Yeah I'm going to tweak them more when I do a final product. As soon as I decide what to go with

I was thinking of doing that, but it would kind of clash with the bB badge.

Thank for the suggestions.

 

stick with square, looks more like a factory option and may draw less attention from the po po, and keep you from getting a ticket

 

Yea i cant wait to get them. I'm pretty excited to finish mine up. i know they are gonna look sweet when they're done. The LEDs should get to my seller from Japan by the middle of this week so i should have them by the end of the week.

What kind of LEDs are you using again? are they the standard round flanged kind?


or are you using a different type?

Keep us updated on yours...Any LED retro pretty much looks sweet when its done and its always cool knowing nobody else's is exactly like yours :-)

Im gonna go out on a limb and say mine will be done by middle of april.

keep it up man, keep us updated.

 

why not an x for hte left and a B for the right ;)

 

im impressed, thats cool

 

very nice...I like the square best...

 

square. its what our cars are. matches perfect, looks the best imo.

 

In the last pics I'm using some like that around the X. Wide angles are the X. I need to order more leds now cause after I ordered them I came up with the X idea. Plus after seeing yours I got jelous on how bright they are. I wasn't going to go that extreme, but now I want to. So it looks like the middle of April for me too.
