LED Tail lights?
I recall there were several guys trying to get this done, just wondering what the status was on it or if anyone managed to get it done. Would like to see pictures.

If you tinted them black they might work but at that outrageous price who would bother.

They might look cool but i hate them. Whenever i am behind an infinity i want to ram it as it burns my eyes so bad.. like those people who leave their blinkers on for 5 minutes while at a stoplight.. blink blink right in my eyes. I see orange for minutes afterwards. Not looking doesn't cut it since you better look at what is going on while you drive.

Death to LEDs (not really but some really are way too bright).

I like bright LEDs... they're efficient light-producers and the wavelengths generated are generally more narrow than incandescent light

No price yet. Someone over there has got to stop smoking crack. Their new altima lights look even worse.

I think smoked/black housing would look alright. I wouldn't take the chrome one for free either

Guys i may be wrong, but on the pic thats what the lights look like without any housing. im pretty sure that they would have a housing around them, and you wouldnt be able to see the actual bulbs unless they are on. That pic just shows what they look like on the inside i think

If that's the case, why would they do something so stupid as to photograph it and post it? A blind monkey can tell that those look like s***.

You might be right, that would better explain the horrid picture. If that's the case, then would they use the housing for the 02-03 or 00-01? You think we'd be able to swap them?

what's wrong with projectors... i don't have 1 thou..i like oem stuff..saving for HID. I think we can just change the bulb to 7443 or 7440 LED...

i think the way LED light up on G35 is kind of disgusting..look at all those single bulbs on a plain area.. prefer traditional way (1 big bulb) of lights but change them to LED bulbs

B/c if they just photographed a stock tail and then said they were selling LED tails it would be pointless b/c you wouldn't see what's behind the stock cover. I believe someone here confirmed (and posted about it like 3 times telling ppl the same thing) that these were to be used w/a cover.

I agree with PearlWhtMaX2000. The do look like they are without the housing. I'm going to call Stillen and confirm this just out of curiosity.
