not too hard i don't think.. biggest issue was a minimum order... yeah... buying the minimum is alot of money right now for both of us. but my buddy acquired two somehow for prototyping... so yeah...

perhaps we'll sell these pieces as well in the future so you can DIY! stay tuned!

have you put them behind a lense yet? spacing for the led's looks fine, but the reflectors built into the clear lens changes.. FYI..

lumiled sells them..http://www.lumiledsfuture.com/products/order.cfm

at least electrically, it's a better design from what i've seen and the glow is even from the start.. and then it's very sturdy as to how it's mounted... (it's screwed in)

it's nice that they're located minutes away from my house... but still... obtaining them is somewhat tricky.

Would you sell them as a kit so we could do them by ourselves rather than sending you our 3rd brake light?

yes.. that is one of our plans.

we'll obtain the materials and sell them at a reasonable price.

the tools that you would need to provide yourself would probably be a dremel, crimper, and some jb weld or other strong plastic bonding exopy.

Ok folks,

This is what it looks like mounted.



I may or may not do a DIY with photos later. It takes a while and you need quite a few tools.

Price, and availability are forthcoming. We still need to figure it out. Maybe I'll sell one or two at Scion Night if someone who gets inside the park would let me use the trunk of their tc. DO NOT COUNT ON THAT THOUGH.
