LED Tails Completed - Finally

[AnderbrA]

Hey all, projects and hobbies took a seat at the far back of the bus last year including these. I finally got around to completing them this week. More pics here: http://anderbrainnovations.com/Alero/LED_March_2013/LED_Tails.htm

They are also on ebay for anyone interested. Excuse the filthy car. Someone didn't think it was necessary for such an occasion.

Yeah that's weird. Been a while since I've been on ebay. I put the option of local pickup as well as shipping. We got it figured out though. Be sure to send me and post pics when you receive.

I wish you could make a hustle out of this. I would send you my tails so you could convert them to LED.

BTW sleepy, post pics when you get em! lol

Oh you know I will, and yes I love my car, had 1600 photos of just my car on my iPhone 4, now I gotta stock up on my iPhone 5 lol but I got all my iPhone 4 pics on it.

But I'm stoked on these tails, been wanting these for a long time. Def will have pictures.

[Babyblue]

Can you send me the link to the page to buy these? I can't seem to find it.

[sleepyalero]

sorry there was only 1 pair available, when i bought, the listing was deleted.

[tw0123]

is he going to wire up the inner tails for you to blast people with all 4 tails or just the outer tails for the brake lights?
these should compliment the black beauty nicely... not sure if I like this set or mine better :) tough choice for sure... would have to see them on the car to make the decision!!

[Babyblue]

:( oh well, When posted again, Let me know!

i would only want the outside to light up, if all 4 do oh well but i think all 4 is anlittle tacky the outers do just fine

[Nas Escobar]

Did you really just tell him that? He's the KING of posting pictures of his baby. :lol:

Who knows, maybe he'll hide this mod. He hasn't posted 100,000 pictures of his LED license plate mod. All his pics are front shots.

[sleepyalero]

i posted pics of my led plate lol just didnt Create my own thread for it

[Nas Escobar]

i posted a pic of my led plate lol

Edited for correct content :p.

Then again, I had about 5 of em up.... unless you're not comfortable showing your plate...

[sleepyalero]

ive shown my plate quite a few times on here. and no i believe i posted like 3.

[happyisthealero]

Do you even have any idea how much money you've spent in total for mods on your car? Buying yourself a Corvette might have been cheaper. :lol:

[sleepyalero]

tried searching for your name on ebay, didn't work

i already bought the ONLY set that was available on ebay, the listing is gone.

total im already over 10,000$

[sleepyalero]

damn right

[strtrydr]

total im already over 10,000$

You messed that up ... Should have said "over 9000". lol

[sleepyalero]

why? lol

[fisdad]

I'm over $12,000 but that's because I was to lazy to do most of my own work lol.

[Nas Escobar]

WOW $12,000?? You could have easily bought a Corvette too!! ahaha

I would hate to have something happen to my car if I was $10,000 or more deep. I'm only $1500 deep in my Grand Am, and $400 of it can be pulled off of the car and be resold.

[sleepyalero]

im VERY cautious when i drive my car. i watch everyone around me

I hate Corvettes. I had a spreadsheet with every penny I'd ever spent until I sold my laptop to manwhore... Somehow the spreadsheet got destroyed in the transfer.

what do you plan to do if somone else hits you? just curious.

[sleepyalero]

what do you plan to do if somone else hits you? just curious.

i mean i cant prevent it, but i will do the best i can to avoid it. lol

if the car can be rebuilt it will be if it did happen. if it cant guess ill be getting an alero shell. swapping parts. :(

[TDavis]

Install Them Sleepy Dammit!

[03glgold]

He has to get them first...doubt they have arrived yet

[sleepyalero]

He has to get them first...doubt they have arrived yet

i bought em new of a GAGT member lol had em for a few weeks now, just need to buy metal gaskets and some other misc things before i can do it.

i know tanner im gettin eager to, couple more weeks.

[03Sleepr]

I hate Corvettes..

WHAT??? WHY?!

[03glgold]

I was thinking he was talking about the tails...must have missed something

WHAT??? WHY?!

I would never want one either...They look nice and are fast but everybody has one...I am more of a ford person anyways...I like mustangs but wouldn't really want one with the exception of some of the more rare ones because everybody has them...what I really want is a Ford Gt

[03Sleepr]

Yea everyone has one, but not near as common as mustangs.. And they are without a doubt one of the highest performance cars you can get for <30k, plus the c5 and c6 z06's are just plain sexy..

[xXManwhoreXx]

C6 z06 is the only corvette I would ever want... and it couldn't be stock... Im thinking kenne bell

[03glgold]

Yea everyone has one, but not near as common as mustangs.. And they are without a doubt one of the highest performance cars you can get for <30k, plus the c5 and c6 z06's are just plain sexy..

That is why I said the less common ones for the mustangs...I have no interest in a run of the mill v6, or gt...I don't really want a gt500 though the 2013s sound very fun...I want one of the newer gt350's...I have yet to see one

[03Sleepr]

and it couldn't be stock...

What is this "Stock" thing? :awesome:

well i mentioned my uim lim. which ive had for a bit, and he knew about so i figured it was that. and yes ill have the tails in a couple days.

[xXManwhoreXx]

We will see if they actually show up

[sleepyalero]

he gave me tracking info yesterday, they are on the way.

[i4g3t]

if you make another set let me know. im about to put my headlights on ebay

[happyisthealero]

so how much were they?

[S8track16]

$325 + shipping I believe. I was considering buy them, but I would prefer with white bezels.

[sleepyalero]

325 free shipping. ;)

[Nas Escobar]

Ouch..... that's up there

[sleepyalero]

it should be worth it

[natedawg9640]

Ouch..... that's up there

people seldom appreciate custom work.

it's easy as pie to get things mass produced on the cheap in china if you have 10-15k to meet the MOQs on asian rip-off products. once you factor in time and materials on one-off/ low run stuff, it's understandable why things cost what they do. I sold a set of CF badges the other day to an SRT8 challenger owner that cost him $420... that's for badges... granted there were a few in the set, but still... seems like a decent price for one-off tails.

[Nas Escobar]

I'm not saying it's a rip off or anything like that. That was never the case. I understand the whole situation with custom work. Personally, if I was on the other side, I would charge that much money too. It's just one of those things... I wouldn't mind spending money on something like that, but if you're buying a product based on pictures and not seeing it in real life, I get skeptical. If I could personally see something on my car and know it will look good, I would do it. Hell someone make me Grand Am tails that look like the ones on the Avenger, I'll buy them! lol

But just toss me a pic and I can't imagine it on my car, then IDK... I get weary of that...

[natedawg9640]

that's what photoshop is for. :)

[@mgaw23]

Eh sleeper where's the pictures?

[sleepyalero]

search. "LED tails."

[Nas Escobar]

that's what photoshop is for. :)

Damn man.... I haven't had photoshop in years...

[CrazzyCavanaugh]

how do you get the tails clear?
or do you have to order clean ones
or can you diy to clear them?

[jawa]

how do you get the tails clear?

[natedawg9640]

You have to replace the red lenses with custom formed clear ones.

[tw0123]

you mean like these??

anderbra and another member (wrightie) made these years ago... from what I can tell, anderbra has gone mostly with the current style that is shown in this thread... im sure he could make you a set...

[CrazzyCavanaugh]

yea thats what i was lookin for the clear ones, what guy does these, do i have to send him mine or how does that work?

[S8track16]

I am also wondering about the same thing.

[xXManwhoreXx]

Anderbra is his name on here and he has a website as well.

[sleepyalero]

for all you guys wondering, he will want a 50$ core charge or your old tails in return..

[Nas Escobar]

Do you think he could do something with Grand Am tails?

[sleepyalero]

dont think hes ever tried and probably doesnt have molds for em so it would be more of a process for him then alero tails.

[kwhauck]

Yea everyone has one, but not near as common as mustangs.. And they are without a doubt one of the highest performance cars you can get for <30k, plus the c5 and c6 z06's are just plain sexy..

I like corvettes, I used to see them in my rearview mirror all the time.

[AnderbrA]

Do you think he could do something with Grand Am tails?

GrandAms have quite an aftermarket already from what I have seen, and sleepy is right. I would have to make a mold in order to get the right lens shape.

[AnderbrA]

Hey all. Just FYI. The white set from Brayden's car is up for grabs now that he wrecked his ho. New lenses were put on outers due to some scratches n such, but this set is being sold as used, so they are cheaper. They're on ebay.

http://anderbrainnovations.com/Alero/WhiteLED2012/IMG_7798.jpg

Also, I have lenses and clusters almost complete for about 5 more sets, so should have some new ones avail soon.

[tw0123]

Ebay link?

[sleepyalero]

right here

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=171030378561&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=98890538445

[03glgold]

just search his name and they come up

EDIT: sleepy why are you the one who always ninja posts me

[happyisthealero]

^x2

[sleepyalero]

just search his name and they come up

EDIT: sleepy why are you the one who always ninja posts me

im fast yo!!!

wahhhhhhhhhh!!! hiiii yah!!!!

dont mess with sensai sleepy!!!! waaaaaaaaa

[Nas Escobar]

Yup, compared to the Alero, they do... I just wanted to do something different for my tails, since I wanted LED lights, but they only come in one shape.

[fisdad]

Damn! If those were black, silver or bronzemist I would buy them today!

[03glgold]

the fact that they are white makes it not bother me that I can't afford them...The only two places I think the white fits is with a white car, or with something like s8tracks theme where his headlight bezels and wheels are white and it would tie in with everything

[DJx79x]

I have a black car but i would still get these if i had the money i would like the contrast

[tw0123]

I like them too, but ill stick with the clear set I have... :)
glws!

[jawa]

they look nice i like the white on white

[03glgold]

I think they can look ok with darker colored cars, however I don't see white and gold being a winning combination

[tw0123]

Whoever buys these could also tint them... the simple fact they are custom led tails makes them unique... don't be scared off simply because they're white... use a vinyl overlay that can easily come off or vht that with the use of gas will also come off should you want to resell...

[sleepyalero]

i just pm'd s8track the link for em. hope he buys em

[S8track16]

i just bought them

[sleepyalero]

wooooooo!!!!! gonna look good on your car

[S8track16]

Ill post some pictures up once I get them.

[sleepyalero]

you better!

[fisdad]

Damn you sleepy! I had just gotten anderbra to agree to paint these for me on ebay you a'ho! I'ma kick your arse!

[03glgold]

Damn you sleepy! I had just gotten anderbra to agree to paint these for me on ebay you a'ho! I'ma kick your arse!

he said he has 5 more sets getting pretty close...you will get your turn to get them

[sleepyalero]

im sorry !!!

[That01Olds]

wooooooo!!!!! gonna look good on your car

I agree. I think it will go nicely with the white rims and white headlights.

[tw0123]

hopefully you can have them in time to come to our Windsor meet if you can still make it :)

[AnderbrA]

After quite a delay and a couple hiccups, Brandon's tails are on the way to him. Since this set was used as a school project for Brayden, we weren't quite happy with the way they were, so I ended up refurbing them with the exception of the clusters. Tore the lenses off, repainted, new lenses, etc. While I had them apart, we painted the center mesh a anondized red color. Hoping it matches well with his car. Here are some completed pics. I'm sure he will post pics when he receives them.

[sleepyalero]

that should look nice

[TDavis]

I'm a noob so all these alero faggots(sleepy in particular) but if his car isn't white it might look a little tacky.

[Nas Escobar]

I'm mad no one can custom make them for the GA boys.... we're stuck with the lame TYC ones.

[TDavis]

I'm mad no one can custom make them for the GA boys.... we're stuck with the lame TYC ones.

I say even fk the TYC ones, those look to dam obnoxious. Only ones that are good are the ones that come in a red lens LED. Dunno what gen those are specifically.

[sleepyalero]

y u mad?

and nah his bezels in the headlights are white, white wheels, and soon to have white tails, it looks great, tails will just finish it off. and his car is red, i actually like the theme, its different and somehow flows. lol

[AnderbrA]

Im sure I am spoiling an ASS surprise, but figured I'd share some teasers of Ryan's set of tails. It was a scramble to get them done in time for the show (3 minutes before cut off for overnight delivery) so I didn't have ample opportunity to get any good pics, but here are some I took during the build. Have to wait until the show to get good pics of them installed.

Pretty sure this is the first set I have done all LED which was a treat. :)

Bryce!! You a*ho! Lol... Was gonna pull up with these all sneaky like... The lights better be way better looking in person to justify this as a "teaser" lol

[fisdad]

I wanted bronze mist paint originally, but I changed my mind for future salability in case I decide to do something different. The LED's were a surprise to me. I had another idea that didn't work out so he came up with this. I'm still on the fence about the reverse lighting and if it will be bright enough?

I can't wait to see them!! That is all I can say!

[AnderbrA]

Newest LED goodness. This is Smurfinputz's (Jon & Shar) set. Shar drove all the way from Winnipeg to pick them up. I am really a fan of the contrast the white mesh provides against the black. They will look great on their white car. This is the 2nd full LED set. (fisdad was 1st) and I believe it was the quickest start to finish LED set. I am estimating total work time was about 30hrs. 12 of which were spent making clusters and soldering the 248 individual LEDs. :-/
