The LED Light Picture Thread -Exterior-

If you're using LEDs on the outside of your car, post up pics!! I just wanted to make a mega thread, searching gets tiresome...

Pictures only!! (With a description of what you brought, if possible)

Go!!!

Oh gee, so no one has modded their tail lights with LEDS, or put plug n play LED lights in their bumper lights, clearance lights or reverse lights?

I've seen it done quite a few times, I just wanted to make one picture thread, to save some other people allot of time, searching, asking questions and such.

I was thinking about posting this in the member's rides, but I really don't care how LEDs look on other gens....

Oh! You mean those 1156 and 1157 LED bulbs that are like $20 or something each? I really want to buy them but I was skeptical and didn't think they'd be all that haha

These guys are cool, one of the Altima members in the Northwest is sponsored by them and is pretty tricked out with LED's.

Not a Maxima but good for ideas and visuals.

Amber LEDs in the top parking light.
White LEDs in the side marker light.
White LEDs in the fogs.
I also have amber LEDs in the rear turn signals and white LEDs in the reverse light.

the driver side is the same color but for some reason they look different in this pic. The 95-96 tails have built in reflectors which throw off the light around the inner part of the outer lamps.

made by kzoosho, also on the org

Different pics of the same reverse lights Ilyak has from Vleds (but with worse camera skills)






^That's how they really look, close and far away, but it has a slight hint of blue, I like em.

I've got a set of LED tails on my winter ride. They were built by Kevlo911, who did an amazing job. I get compliments on them all the time. 4th gens with LED tails are super rare here. I've also got LED plate lights, which were ordered from VLEDS.com. Here are a couple pics.
