LED lights

04-17-2004, 02:43 AM

What do you guys think an alero would look like with an LED based light for the tail lights? Over the next month I am gonna try to build one (if I win the auction), just wanna know if you guys have any suggestions or what you think? Also should I frost the plastic on the inside or leave it? If frosted it will glow red evenly or if it is left you will see the led's pattern?

i would have to see the taillight that you're gonna base your "make" off of.

Are you talkin 'bout the round led's (3057), because at Anderbra's cardomain site, he got some pic's of some clear taillights with 4 3057's.

Actually I'm considering the same thing..

At first I wanted to base my design off the Skyline R34.. tails. With a kind of Infinity G35 Tail light design ( there's about 14 bulbs in two diagonal lines, each bulb is surrounded by a sheath of chrome and I'd prolly use four super bright Red leds per "bulb") I like that alot.

Then I got to thinking about horizonally using the backup and turn signal parts as the brake and the upper 2/3's for night running, turn, and backup..

We'll see what shakes out..

Hey if you want to collaborate on this, PM me and mebbe we can pool our resources.

Someone has replaced the tail lights with LED's on an alero, I forget who did it though

I was thinking about about making something out of leds to look like the olds symbal when you hit the breaks.....It would take a little bit of work..... But it might be ok.....I will work in photo shop when I get home to give ou a better idea of what I am talking about........

^ LOL ^ I thought about doing the EXACT same thing.....then got lazy and figured how hard it would be and gave up. But if you do it let me know how it ends up!

Hassles from the cops? Or do you have them on a switch.

kwhauck · 05-02-2004, 02:32 PM

no hassles so far, actually i have been pulled over before, they ask me why i was going so fast them compliment me on my taillights, and ask where i got them!!!

05-02-2004, 03:26 PM

Where did you get them?
I don't think I've ever seen those before.

AlbinoMonkeyRat · 05-02-2004, 06:46 PM

^ I've seen 'em on eBay on more than one occasion.

05-02-2004, 08:11 PM

Only ones i could find are the 1157s. Lotta splicing and soldering. 99, where did you find ones that fit exactly in the sockets?

kwhauck · 05-03-2004, 12:38 PM
