Just finished these up the other day and thought I'd post pics for another led tail light alternative..

Quick how to:
Bake open @200 for about 10 mins.
Place Ice tea lid inside the lens
Paint with krylon Fusion or whatever
Bake back together
Wipe off any excess adhesive with WD40 on a microfiber

 

I always wanted to do that when I had them haha...Nice work though!

 

They look extremely nice. Good job.

 

those look real sick! nice work

 

i would of put the clear / backup lights black to then bought some bright leds for the reverse light. still looks good tho. good job

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

those look tight, i did sorta the same thing. I have the same taillights, but i made the mistake and painted the whole light, i got some of the paint off though so you can see the red reflectors since i kept gettin harrassed by the cops

 

looks alot better than any other stock replacement IMOP

 

You mean paint the centers black so all you can see is the red ring?

 

Exactly. It would look pretty sexy.

 

IMO some type of tint will help out as well.

 

I like it too. Those are nice. I wonder what they would look like if the center things were black as well

 

thats how mines were, but cops will harrass you since the red reflectors has to visible, but the LEDS wil shine thru if you use transparent paint

 

There's no red reflectors in the centers. We're talking about painting the chrome reflector black. The red reflector wil still show since it'll be untouched.

 

nice job, wish they made them for 95/6 too.

 

good job

 

Your right! It would look sweet..

Actually, I was planning to retro a set of these into the outside centers and something similar on the insides for backup lights but I just got lazy and wanted to get them done. These are a bish to open up without cracking the cheap plastic..

Thanks for the compliments.

 

yea the centers. rebake it and do it. im tellin u it would look even hotter if u did all the clear parts i.e the backup and signal lens and leave the red rings showing

 

Nice job, I wanted to do this a long time ago, before I got the red/clears and liked that look better. Looks good though!

 

Those look awesome!! I wanna do something like that to my Max sometime soon!

 

i actually like these, can't stand the other altezza tails though. good job with the paint.

i would second allensteiner but... everyday i look at my '95, it grows on me more and more.

 

it would look somthing like this..

 

not the best of photoshop-esque jobs but it does kinda capture the effect... looks nice

 

ms paint...FMFL

 

great idea man, looks great

 

+1, that just ruined the whole idea.

someone needs to chop it correctly

 

yeah i got the same thing done to mine...nice work though it reminds me of mine exactly..lol

 

That because I got the idea from your sig..
I saved that pic awhile ago for "future projects".

 

not the best myself but we get the point.

 

personally I like the white center better , came out real nice though. I have also liked the Gen 2 Altezzas.. especially modded like you have them. just never got a set.

 

it does look like skyline especially in the dark, very mean looks

 

lol..its cool...have anymore future projects?

 

When you opened them, which part did you paint? The transparent plastic cover or the chrome/CF part around the circles.
Tnx

 

I painted the inside of the clear plastic cover..

 

Clean job on paint work especially with black... I have same LED tails but i did mine full red out with a Candy though.

 

Looks great man. I've always wanted to paint mine body color but now, they are just sitting in the garage. Just might take up the project.

Post pics. Interested in seeing them.

 

Will snap a pic when going out on lunch.. I got a new spray gun and plan on re-shooting them for Deeper Candy look when i get my lip kit put on...

 

nice work

 

Here some quick cell phone pics while headin to lunch... Prob a love/hate for most. But i like the different look, especially sense im goin for non traditional look to include my IonicDynamics Classic style kit thats waiting for paint and large style wheels to follow..
