those look pretty wicked man!! just in my own personal opinion, I would have reversed the rings... had the small ring as the running light and the larger outer ring as the brakes... make it as visible and distinct as possible... gonna have to see them in person soon

Those look sweet! I would have made the rings more spread out for better definition. Or two rings of brakes and one running. I'm paranoid about getting rear ended.

Did I mention my paranoia? I had mine made special so that all 4 lot up as brakes just in case.

They don't look THAT bad but something about the part of the tail light that is connected to the trunk just looks empty with one set of rings near the inside.

I know what u mean after I was done I started thinking what if I used 12 rings instead of 8.

and I cut them apart with a dremal and yes I did re use the lens

it really wasn't that hard to make just time consuming, the led strips cost the most

and of course there's no running lights in the day so its easy to see the "lunch breaks" when there applied in the day. but you really gotta see them in person too get a good look at them if you've ever bought leds from superbrightled.com you'll know what im saying. although it would be cool to have the running lights dim then brighten up when the breaks are hit how ever that's done.

I still give props for doing this, just not a fan of the way you went with them. And vht wears off after awhile just fyi, i had to redo mine quite often when i had tinted tails, you should look into a clear coat/black paint mix for the tails. They will be really shiny and wont fade.

You can mix it yourself, or find a paint shop that will do it.
