LED taillights on Gen1.. Somebody did a complete conversion?

[DrLove]

Hi guys...

I would like to know if some of you did a LED conversion on the taillights for the Gen1? I don't wanna buy the LED bulb.

I would like to make a "LED ring" a little like on infiniti G35. I thnk it's the right time to do this because I get water on my taillights so anyway I will need to seal them!

I saw this product from hella



Im waitting the reply from the company...to know where can I buy that in Canada and how much $$..

Somebody ever saw a kind of ring or circle chrome plate with leds in circles made to do custom taillights? Im trying to find better and cheaper!


I saw also another product...this one is plug and play.. no DIY.. Somebody have seen that on a car? but at $50 each it's expensive for a 3157

Maybe Im better to find a chrome circle and put red LEDs around and fit them on the taillights? I saw wide angle led's..or I can use superflux leds..I saw somebody who did it with theses leds..4 circles..it was nice..

Maybe the lexus taillights would fit on the lara? lol

i am interested to, i think that the gen 1 would look really nice with LED tail lights. I like the Circle Ring idea looks nice and yeah thats alot of $$ for one bulb!

something like that but under the red stock gen1 taillight..



I see lots of Led rings but for medical or space application..see this one..it would be totally perfect!

I saw this mod for the Camry. It's reallye asy to do but our taillight are "semi-transparent" and the camry are not. I guess that we would see the board inside the taillights.. so that's why I dont wanna do it like that. or I would use the "superflux" LED (the square LEDs that you see on the camry's mod) and put them all together,this way you can,t see the board, and I would put some chrome paint on the board before to solder the LEDs.

Im gonna think about it. Yesterday I was watching my taillights and realise that there is not so much space for the "brake" section because of the reserve and turn signal.. In my souvenirs, I was able to put a big LED ring there..hihi..

It surprise me that nobody here did a LED conversion.. maybe Im gonna be the first one!

You could cut a circuit board to the size of the brake light area....
