This thread I found on Altimas.net can help any of you guys out on how to make the L.E.D. tail lights...

Thats pretty hot - is that the same process for the Maxima? What is the plexiglass for?

There are two people 4gens with led tails. That's really time consuming and expensive. LEDs are expensive.

Thats a joke right?

You can get a bag of 100 LEDs on ebay for 10 bucks.

In my opinion, Im not feelin the LED tail light look. Rice if you ask me.


Note the word RICE, something I finally got rid of

peace

ABK

I don't know everywhere I looked for good LEDs they cost. Plus that thing doesn't look rice at all. It makes the lights look more luxury car like, really nice.

Spipedong90

The really bright LED's like you would want on taillights are expensive. The el-cheapo indicator ones are a dime a dozen.

That was a great writeup.

since when are the G35, SL55, bunch of other mersedes, rice?

G35's are awfully expensive pieces of rice, then...

That isn't rice...its not tacky or cheap looking. It'd be rice if you got G35 taillights and molded it to ur car, but integrating LED lighting into our stock tails is just smart.

nice write up just wondering if the people who have done it, agree or can add anything to this write up

d_warner

The Maxima guys used plexi instead of circuit boards. They drilled the holes in the plexi and inserted the LEDs in the holes they rilled. Then they connected the LEDs on the back side of the plexi. IMO, I think it would look cleaner than what you see there on the Alti site.

I might do it over summer when I will have **** load of free time and a second car (summer beater) so I can work on it for a long time

araffio, Did you get your LED's off ebay? If so Can you tell me his name? If you want to keep it a secert thats cool too... Thanks for your help and the write-up post....

To everyone with the LED tails....

KsuMax

Maxima95Tuner

Great find Will. Now 99MAXSE-L and araffio can rest in peace.

PoePoe2797

My only question is if they had to mold the circuit board to the shape of the lights, because it looks like the LEDs bend around the edge of the light....and I would think the circuit board would break since it is so brittle

JetBlackMax

iTrader: (12)

LEDs, are not a big thing in my book. Just my Opinion. I dont need LED's all over my max to make it look "cool". Ahem, like some of these maxima.org owners. Heh.

thats a good write up you found.

But im tryin to figure what he did with the extra resistors and how did he bend the board tothe shape of the light, how do some people use plexiglass?

i am using a perfboard from radio shack. I start my tails tomaro. I got 5000-7000MCD LEDS w/ resisters from the guy affrio said to get from for 26.50 shipped(175 LEDS)

SupermaxGxe

Who is the guy to buy them from? I would like to give this one a shot too.

Search on Ebay for " 5mm led red "(or leds) and you will see the only guy that sells them with resistors. I believe his user name is "cwthc"

man i want to get them i got some spare tail lights in my garage. hopefully this will be my next project
