Sooooo tiiiiiiiiiiight.....Ever since I saw you starting this project I've been looking at diff LED designs on semis to get some ideas of different patterns. You did those in regular tails if im not mistaken? Thats the best part theyre so unassuming until you light em up!

Yet another mod that 95/96ers can never have w/o swapping trunks. I wonder how that same scheme looks on the gen 1 altezzas? I'm thinking if that's going to make the gen1 any less

They look really great in the day. Once you get that trim painted like you said then you will be really pimping.

I really like it, both day and night. I like to see all the recent creativity for the 95-96 tails as of late. I think it would look extra mean on a black Maxima.

OUT-FREAKING-STANDING !! Those look great. Can you post up some pics of the lights on in the daytime.

Are they bright enough to be seen in the daytime properly ?

I know just how you did those, but I havn't had motivation to do it. Now I know it looks sweet. Thanks.

They'll look MUCH better after the black paint too.

you had the exact same Idea as me!

I finished mine about a year ago. I like the casings you have though. I had a body shop paint mine in evergreen to match my car.

how did you do your electronics? How did you get your outsides to blink on and off as well as being brake lights? I think I need to re-wire mine.

So how many sets of LED tails do we have in NY now? Next big meet we need a lineup pic...

I like them a lot. I'm making another set this summer for a friend of mine. Expect pics, of course
