I thought it was a pain in the arsh to open the tail lights

 

Just for the record...i'd definitely be interested in a more fashionable LED taillight =)

 

its what happens when you drink on the job...everything is funny and you gotta take a whiz every 5 mins...gotta love the weather up here in sunny MA

I'd def be down for a pair of these...i was just thinkin about makin a pair in a skyline type ring around ring fashion, gotta love that look.

 

The LEDs don't necessarly have to be in a circle (making the brake and blinker). They can be any shape....I'd say it would look better if the LEDs for the brakes were in a rectangle and the blinker in a smaller rectangle below the brakes.

 

i can't seem to visualize that. can you throw together a crude picture of what you mean?

and your sig is making me dizzy...

 

Agreed. I think that the roundness of our tails would not match well with anything that's square inside -- brake and signal lights included.

Need Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm trying to work on something also. :-)

 

Yes they do, but I rather have decent looking all LED taillights.
Any news on the Carfilo progress?

 

Made a call to them on Friday and was told possibly a year from now

 

Damn that fuking sux.....oh well. Thanks for the update sizzo

 

A year, hell I was just gonna post something about prototypes or the looks of them. Im interested but those guys need to GET ON THE BALL!!!! COME ON ALREADY!! WE'RE THROWING MONEY YOUR WAY HERE!!

 

a whole year to come up with these? damn, the smoke ones look sweet. and so does the red one. the chrome led would look like crap on our cars. man i dont wanna wait a year for these... damn, guess i have to spend it on something else.

 

Wow, those lights on Eurostar's site look pretty sweet. I hope they will make some for us.

 

ok so why doesnt anyone try the stillens and have them painted to the way they would lok right. With black spray around the outside like the 2k and red tint around the LED turn and brake lights i think it would look fine


that is my take any one have any thougths on that.

 

I don't know who would want to spend that kind of money on lights only to modify them right off the bat. I would think that people want the right design from the start.

 

i agree how much are those lights the spray that you need and the lights shouldnt be too much money spray in translucent black smoke color is 24.95 and the translucent red is 24.95 as well i think these have the potential of looking good and i think i may try it. If i do ill post pics

 

Thats expensive. I pay $7 a can for niteshades translucent black paint at autozone.

 

My rear lights look like a damn kaleidiscope(sp) with my polargs in the reverse.

this would be the best for our taillights. I know it is small but to make a bigger one it would cost 300. this is like the new range rover signals.

 

yeah, i like the bmw z4 taillights (http://a138.g.akamai.net/n/138/3538/...233/235964.jpg) with the turn signal yellow inside a larger red break light.

 

but the one I posted the orange is on the outside and the red would be the brake light

 

I called autozone and they dont have it any idea where i can get that stuff for 7 cuz i am all ears

 

well the stillen website says that those tailights can come with paintable covers, carbon fiber or chrome.. so i guess the carbon fiber ones should look ince.. hopefully they have a red lense that goes over the led parts or else it'll look too ricey.

 

Ebay. I paid 10 for mine.

 

Don't like them. I would like to see how they would look on the MAX. That could make a difference.

 

Can the taillight be opened like the headlight? Did anybody try it?

 

I don't like the look at all

 

budvlad - it has been tried and it cannot be done

 

I was thinking some thing like this.

 

i think it would look great if the background was completely red, then have a big outer circle of red leds and a smaller inner circle of yellow or white leds on the inside which would be the turn signals. i dont like the idea of cramming as much led's as possible into the housing.

 

Yeah I like that idea with having the turn signal in the middle like on the Z4.

 

Actually it can be done but it takes a lot of time to do it and you have to have patience and use a heat gun.

 

i was mistaken sorry

 

i wouldn’t really recommend using a heat gun it can be done this way bit it is very difficult... if you really want to open them i would recommend cutting them with a dremel much easier this way the only difficult part is sealing them back up so that you wont have condensation... btw i am trying to work on an led tail project if anyone has any experience with wiring these and would like to give me some input it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I would be interested.

 

I get to drive an '04 BMW 330Ci at work everyday and i love those blinkers, the top is clear until you turn on the blinker then its yellow and then red brakes below it. Sexy lookin

 

that looks pretty good

 

i have a similar project in mind but i cant post pics can some one post them for me??
its a kinda crude pic though
