These are the same K2 Tail lights but I rewired them so I can have Dual Red LED bars and amber turn signals. I'm still not too sure about the Reverse lights.


Also wired some LED strips from superbrightleds.com and 5,000K MORIMOTO HID KIT

the lights look great! im actually a little iffy about the white reverse strip myself and which morimotos did you get? 35 or 50w? im interested in replacing my DDM tuning HIDs with those

KILLER

They are 35w. I dont like 55w because they create too much glare and it also washes off the bulb color.
As for the reverse lights, I might use another type of light and relocate it. Can't find the right spot yet.

Question about the wire Style for the front LED strip been looking into this but not sure about getting the wiring done correctly and Nice Tail Lights there epic i love mine just got them like a month ago!

Did you have problems with leaks and condensation with the spec d taillights? I'm considering getting them, but been hearing lots of bad things about it not fitting right and people getting leaks.

The LED strips looks sick by the way!!

Was it difficult to rewire the brake lights and the signal lights?

KILLER

Rewiring is easy, if you have basic skills with wiring then you good to go.
There is only one ground wire for these tail lights so just isolate it and work with the other color wires. cut the turn signal wire half way and splice it into the brake light wire, this will activate both LED rows when the brakes are applied.
The loose wire that is the turn signal will now be spliced into the upper reverse light wire. The Reverse (+) wire will now be cut off with no power. you can now splice the LED strip's (+) wire to the existing Reverse light (+) wire.
As for the Ground it's the same wire for all the lights.

TIP: I used a 12v battery from my drill gun and some crocodile wires to test for power before putting the tail light back ion the car.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have the link to purchase the LED strips that you are using?

KILLER

Yes they actually have new strips that come silicone covered. The ones I am using have a clear rubber tubing which makes them bulky and difficult to fit.
Here is the link

*Get the led in NATURAL WHITE with black finish.

Are the ones that you linked silicone covered?
How many would i need to purchase?
Do I need to purchase orange light bulbs to replace the reverse light?

Thanks for your help again

KILLER

I used 2 strips per side. They are thin enough to fit under the headlights. Make sure you go easy when you curve the led strip , the twisting can cause some of the diodes to burn out.
BTW...I just received the new waterproof led strips in NATURAL WHITE with black board and tbey are too blue for my taste. I will be returning them for the correct color. I'm sure superbrightleds sent me the wrong color.

As for the turn signal bulb I used a Cree High Power Amber LED bulb
