i like the inner tails, but i hate how the outside leds just stop partial way through the lens... i think it would be better if the whole thing was filled up...

the reason they look different than kevlos, i took a picture of them, and the glare gave them the look of led's so i just finished the rest of them up and thats what i came up with

i think it looks nice if it came out exactly like that. no dots, just lines of led lighting just like the parking lights on the generation before the new 5 series bmw. go for it.

I've never seen the LED tails on a max up close...but from pics I've seen, they look pretty good.

I'd go for it, just to be somewhat different from everyone else.

ahh if ur going to make a led tail light may i reccomend and other idea.. i was gonna do it im my i30 but the lights are so god dam smal.. wellt he space inside.. anwyay.. that it wouldnt loook nice.. the max has more space in teh light ot work with.. but yea.. ahh i think everyone has seen teh how to mkae angel eyes tutorial with teh guy htat has the CRX

http://www.geocities.com/crx_auto/angel_eyes.htm

there it is...
now anwyhow my idea is u know how the new bmw6 and the 2003 5s have the 3 lines going across the back tiallights.. pu tin those.. well we can fit more lines inot the max due to bigger size of lights.. but jsut an idea... think about it..

Just be glad that you have readily available red/clears. LED's are overrated for exterior applications. I like them on the interior because you can match everything but I think its a waste on the exterior. The 4.5 gen with red/clears and DC's is the perfect looking Max. A nice 20% tint and you've got orgasmic quality. Subtle on exterior is key. Why spend the $50+ when that could get you something that actually makes the car better?
