LED tails.

[sleepyalero]

Well the swap is done, I'm going to have to transfer the outer rubber from my old tails to the new ones because it didn't come with it, but non the less they look awesome. Pics!

[xXManwhoreXx]

His step dads

[sleepyalero]

what eric said, its nice havin old school and new school sittin next to eachother!

[NoSweat83]

You should jump the inner tails off the third brake light so everything lights up when you brake.

[tw0123]

Hahaha ^^
I said the same... he doesn't want to... plus i don't think anderbra put the leds in the inners to be able to do that... they are different led clusters from what i remember reading!!!

[mfuller]

Looks nice.

[jackal2000]

is that grill mesh? da fuq?

[sleepyalero]

yeah im not fond of all 4 tails lighting up at once. :/

thanks matt.

yeah jackel. honestly if aftermarket tails were out, id only buy these.

[Nas Escobar]

My bad I missed this....

thanks guys, yeah led 3rd brake light will be in the future. not extremely worried about it yet

The 3rd brake light is one of the cheapest mods you can do. All you need to do is go to the boneyard and grab the led board from an Impala. It only takes 15 minutes to take out, and 10 max to put it in the Alero. It's plug and play too. All you need to do is make sure that when you pull out the board, the wiring is not cut and it is complete. Then you take off the plastic surrounding and expose 2 pins. They will fit right into the negative and positive feeds of the Alero. You just have to tape it off so it wont get undone.

I think that's the easiest mod I've ever done to my car.

Hell, if you want, next time I'm at the boneyard I can get you that led board. I'll sell it to you for $5 shipped. PM me if you want.

[sleepyalero]

anderbra is gonna give me a led 3rd brake light. :D

[sleepyalero]

i forgot to show how it is without lights on just brakes

[Mike The Canadian]

Those look freaking awesome

[sleepyalero]

thanks mike!

[Nas Escobar]

IS your back up light LED though?

[sleepyalero]

nope just a stock 921 bulb

everything is led on the rear end execpt 3rd brake light, reverse, and turn signal. leaving reverse and turn signal stock.

[S8track16]

Just wondering where you can buy the clear lens for the tails and how much work is involved in changing it?

[sleepyalero]

cant, only one guy makes these tails, and this is the first set hes released in a few years now.

[S8track16]

Not the tail lights themselves, just wondering what was used to replace the factory lens. Is it just a clear acrylic that was formed to the light?

[sleepyalero]

i think its like lexan.

[Nas Escobar]

That would be interesting to find out. If I knew what was used to make the tails, I would replicate the avenger tails for my Grand AM

[AnderbrA]

Hey Guys. Yes the lenses are made from lexan. I made some molds years ago and use them to get the correct lens shape.

[Nas Escobar]

How hard was it to get the molds?

[happyisthealero]

Show us the molds or at least the process so we can make our own

[sleepyalero]

doubt he'd do that. might get lucky though. :)

[S8track16]

White LED tails received and installed today.

http://i42.tinypic.com/30cac7b.jpg

http://i42.tinypic.com/bhlgk0.jpg

The seals were not on the lights and I tried to use the ones from my stock lights, but they won't fit due to the caulking.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2ag5mix.jpg

With the parking lights on (i''ll take some pics tonight as well)

http://i41.tinypic.com/2zsobcy.jpg

As a side note, I'm also working on this:

http://i41.tinypic.com/294qoaq.jpg

While I am jealous that you got these before I placed my bid ... I'm glad you did. They look great on your car!

[sleepyalero]

those look awesome man! you're welcome!


one thing, change the side 194 to a red led

[S8track16]

What's the code for the light, or better yet, can you find a link to one on ebay.

@fisdad, at first I put a bid on them, then thought, screw it, buy it now.

[S8track16]

And thanks.

[sleepyalero]

go to autozone they've got 4 bulb led 194 for like 10$ for the pair.

do you even have an autozone there?

[fisdad]

@fisdad, at first I put a bid on them, then thought, screw it, buy it now.

lol. I had just gotten anderbra to agree to repaint them for me to match my car. I saw his reply and went to buy it now and....GONE!! Damn you sleepy! lol

But seriously, I'm glad you got them and for a good price too!

[S8track16]

There is an auto zone in Ottawa near my apartment. But during the summer I'm not in the city.

[sleepyalero]

on amod 24/7 catchin the deals and makin the steals. :coolio:



s8 - i couldnt find the same on ebay :(

[tw0123]

I have a couple red led bulbs for the 194... used them in my gauge pod but i got 10 so i have spares!! If we meet up this summer i can give you a couple or if you want me to mail them to you just pay shipping :)

Also with the eibachs... you'll need spring seats (also known as isolators) ... cheapest i have found so far is $140 cdn... in the states you can buy them for $13/ each but shipping is dumb and works out pretty much the same!!

Sorry for hijacking your thread Nate!! :)

[sleepyalero]

i dont mind! my days are done here lol we can use it as a led tail show off thread

[S8track16]

Shipping for suspension parts from USA to Canada is insane. Or any somewhat heavy car part.

[AnderbrA]

Lookin good! Glad I redid them with the red mesh.
