i wish i could of seen the org posters pics. i imagine our tailights would look so much better using the led's. i'd really like to see a set of them.
My LED taillight panels... which version should I use??

Holy crap old thread.
I'm still planning on working on this, but I just haven't had time. Stupid life...all keeping me from the fun stuff.

At long last! Thanks for fixing those pics dude. What was the final decision on the installed tail lights?
I think both versions look respectively sweet!

hellyeah i'm glad you finally fixed the pictures. that looks awesome.
iwanted to do something like that but have no idea how. i wanted it just so the lights are brighter, hopefully meaning no idiots running into my rear. do you still have the car? any newer pics. i know many of us would be interested in getting a set made. after seeing how much better the led's are i want to try and upgrade all my nights.

I just went with the second type. I really didn't want to attract any more attention than I needed to.
I still have the car, but it's up on jack stands right now while I'm waiting for new control arms to show up. Once I get those on, I need to take the car out to get some pics for my insurance policy, so I may be able to get a few more shots of the tails.
I've been approached to make sets for other people, but to be honest, it was such a huge pain, I don't think there's much of a chance I'd do it again. Just to make up for the time and materials, I would have to charge $500 or so for a set. I'd be willing to sell my original prototype to someone if they want to try to make their own though.

I can pretty much guarantee that kit is WAY cheaper than it would cost to put a decent set together yourself. Granted it doesn't use even close to the same number of LEDs as I did, but I'd guess I had about $150 just in parts, (super-bright LEDs were/are pretty expensive), plus the countless hours of labor.
As far as a wiring diagram, I don't have one. I just came up with it all in my head, and calculated resistor values based on the LED ratings, and assumes a 14V source.
