Default My Mod idea

Hey, I'm new here and I have a 2011 Magnetic Grey Tc, and right now the only thing i have on it is 20% tint, and a Kenwood system installed. Im just installed LED strips under the headlights also.


Im going to get 6000k HIDs, add a factory spoiler, and I really want to get these installed.
Does anyone have any images/video with the LED taillights installed?

What do you guys think? Anything else I should do or any changes? Thanks

Those tail lights are no good. They look very nice, but they are not nearly bright enough. The design could have been implemented much much better.

LED Light strips will NOT give you that desired look.

You need to get a LED Light bar that has the LED Bulb in a Reflector housing to make it Brighter and look like that.

I actually really like those taillights, from the videos I've seen they are at least just as bright as the OEM.

For the suspension, I'm thinking about it..It might be do something I do later on

and TeeCizzle, That effect was done using a LED strip in a DIY thread on this forum.

I love the look of the led strip. I plan on doing that myself actually, once i get out of my current predicament. some _______ elbow dropped my trunk and left a 900 dollar dent! Aparently our cars are way too nice to park over night in a bad neighborhood, even in the burbs. HEED MY WARNING!

Careful with those tail lights... Someone who bought/installed them posted in another thread saying that they weren't bright enough during the day. More importantly said that they are not a perfect fit.

I can't seem to find the thread, but the person posted pictures saying there was gapping by the top corner towards the side of the car which lead to water getting in.
