My LED Tails :D
Here are a few pics of my tails. It took me well over 20 hours to do these. I know a few LEDS are out(passenger side about 5) but I will fix this weekend. When I take those pics, they will be night pics. Also the inner clears will match.

Yes, I do feel bad about copying these. But it is hard to be one of a kind these days, whatever new comes out, someone copies it. I am sorry for copying it though.

Even if arraffio copyrighted these, doesnt mean people cant make them for themselves. i dont think arraffio would do that anyway. He made it obvious how difficult this job is and would probably be happy to see someone else put in the same time and effort to make these.

Now if someone were to try and mass produce these, i can see arraffio getting ****ed and I would totally understand.

Arraffio copyright this before someone tries to make money off your idea

Looks good on the clean LED job! Only a few owners posted about their LED tails. There might be some out there not posting about theirs.

When you get the skill, since you have time, Make a 2k2 and 2k3 pair.

Great job, they look sweet!

I have no desire to copyright them and I have no feelings towards other people making them. If someone is able, then thats awesome.

Glad to see I set a trend

cwithk - that's my boy too, he has best prices on LEDs though variety is limited... (e.g. 5mm Red come with viewing angle 15 only)

BTW, how many LEDs you used in project?
