Does anyone have their tail lights apart at the moment?

Does anyone have their LX tail lights apart at the moment?

If so, I would really appreciate if you could snap some pics of the inside of the tail/brake lens as well as measure the exact size of the lens for the tail/brake light. Its a big square and I'm thinking its like 6x6 but I'm not sure of the inside dimensions.

Reason? I'm trying to plan a custom LED tail light option and I need to know how big the panel can be if I set it all the way at the back against the lens. Since I drive mine every day and I don't have time to pull/reseal everything, it would be a wonderful if somebody could help me out.

Also, does anybody know if the inside dimensions are different at all for the LX & Cheesegraters? I don't see how they could be, but since the GT's don't have the black trim around the edges, I'm wondering if maybe the lens is actually bigger.

/Thanks!

interested in the info myself as ive been thinking of doing the same over the past week and a half. are you going to do the turn signals and reverse section as well? i figured while they are apart i might as well do the entire thing!

Man, that's an old thread. But except for your toes in some of the pics, there's really nothing for the OP to get demensions from.

I'm thinking that if you just measure the outside and subtract an inch or so for lens thickness and rounded corners, you should be pretty close, maybe a 1/4 inch from all the edges.

Mike,

I know what the inside looks like.

The reason I need measurements is that I found some LED panels that are dual intensity and I'm trying to figure out how many I would need to fill the entire lens. The panels are 1.5" squares......so I'm thinking I will need quite a few. But it might be worth it if it works.
