    Nice work, but they aren't my personal taste.

    pretty cool looking definately good work...im not exactly sure how i feel about them, i think smaller led's would look better personally and if it was throughout the whole light including the turn signal. i do think that they would def look better in person though so again without seeing them i really cant judge too much

    well in the future i may do the blinker and reverse. I have never done anything with leds before so it was a learning experence for me.

    I used the 10mm leds, i was going for the g35 look... i wanted to make sure they were safe, so i figured the bigger the better...

    and it looks sick in person... imo

    but i made sure the way i did it was reverseable that way if i ever wanna change it i can... i just remove the bezel.. But i am going to leave it... to me it looks updated like a newer model...

    damn man beat me too it. I just switched cars and started working on plans for these. Thought people might be interested in buying them. These are pictures of my old ones, going with the same style with the galant lights.


    how'd you do the output change for brakes? PWM?

    I used a pwm. The pwm is a better way to go for wiring the leds to a tail light for brakes. It allows you to manually change the amount of current going through the leds so you can adjust the brightness easily. Makes all the leds completely equal on the brightness factor too. I see how you did it tho. I'm not sure I would be a fan of it tho. From the pics the leds look like some are brighter than others and the brakes are extremely bright. While bright brake lights are not a bad thing for sure, it may be too bright ha.
