Hmm... well I plan on purchasing a pair of the red/clear '95-'96 tails first, but if that's possible then definitely.

$220 shipped for led taillights, send me your stock taillights, or I can send you everything you need to simply put in your taillights if you want to opem them up yourself.

If we send you our stock tails (red/orange), will you being doing the LED mod and return them (red/clear)? just wanted to clear up the issue.

no write up? 220 sounds like a good deal, considering how sweet that looks. I guess i'd have to see it on a 95 though.

I dont know were you got the fact that I can make 95-96 maximas red clears, but I cant, as for pics for 95-96 I will get them very soon, I have to make a general design, then see if you all like it, then use that as my permanant design for the 95-96 taillights. PM me anyone who is interested, but is still wondering how this works or what have you.

When the lights are off during the day, two lines light up when you apply brakes.
At night when the headlights are on, 3 lines glow and when you brake all 5 of them light up.
If you have a spoiler, it it looks even better.
Basically lines are the same as spoiler, but just shorter. Pictures don't do its judgement.

So is that just LEDs mounted in PCB? What size resistor are you using?

Yes leds mounted in boards, I use 180ohm resistors on the boards, thanks for all the nice feedback about my taillight work. The real props goes to CKOTuHA for buying them and making this all possible!
