Anyone have LEDs in their tail lights. I'm gonna be working with these soon and want to see any pics for an idea. It should be great because the light is so big and would look neat like Arrafio's 4th gen Maxima with LEDs.

 

I doubt that anyone has tried. They only one probably with LED tails is shavedmax but his tails aren't from a maxima

 

I have LED's In my trunk bracket that says MAXIMA, there are 4 neon Blue, i know there illegal but there only wired off the brakes, so there not seen that often. Take a look http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/psu...&.dnm=4c12.jpg

 

Man, those are pretty creative dude. I think those would look really good in red, but it's your car and you like it, so that's the only important part. I've also seen someone who smashed a neon rod in his, but it looked really tacky?

 

wow..that's not annoying

 

Probably not the safest thing, especially since they're blue. People behind you will be staring at them in a hypnotic state being like "that's sooo cool" meanwhile they forget that you have your brakes on and smash into the back of you.

Then you always have your tough guy anti-rice crew who will be pointing and laughing.

But, whatever floats your boat.

 

Very nice, but I would make them red.

 

I am doing LEDs this summer so I can get some garage space. I have an idea of how I am going to design them. I think a design like Arrafio would be cool or the ones from a G35 coupe with the LEds in a line and then a small circle.

 

anyone have links to some pictures of Arrafio's tail lights?

 

do some circles. Lines are too fourth gen. I want a skyline appearance.

 

I only know of someone called Cefiro or something who has a black 4th gen with custom LEDs he made. Check out this link. It is the BEST, most tastefully done Maxima I have EVER seen....and I have looked at over a 100 4th gens on cardomain. This car is the quintessential wet dream of every Max lover.

i bought some to mess around with, amber ones for the front turnsignals, and probably rear.. i wanna start with that and see how it turns out..

 

those do look good on the 4th gen. that'd be pretty cool to have something similar

 

All that work and money and he went with PYLE tv's...tisk tisk tisk

 

Yeah...funny you should mention that. I thought of the same thing when I first saw that site. But without a doubt, it is THE best Maxima ever. People keep making huge offers to that dude to sell the car but he does not want to.

 

I agree. Circles would definately be hot. Especially if you already have the e36 conversion. I would definately buy a pair for my car if they were done right....hint...hint!

 

Biggest problem with LED's are their very directional field of view - usually around 15 degrees at the most. Add the 3rd gen design which incorporates an internal refracting lens & you're looking at more than a little modification if you want to keep the tail lights legal. But hey, that's the challenge of modifying stuff!

LED's in the tail lights would def look cool done right - good luck & when you're done, write it up & post pix...



...so we can all do the same mod

 

if i was tony i wouldnt sell it either

and he got those tvs as a gift

 

LEDs would be phat. Does anyone have any idea how much they cost or anything?

 

yeah, but even he said the view angle is **** so he's getting new ones, but crappy tv's are better than no tv's for now I guess.

btw, you can view the led's fine from far away, you can't make out that they are leds in a pattern or anything but the light up as bright as stock lights.



btw Joe as camera man you came in a close second to earthquake lol, theres some good shots but not enough to post, Ill probably use them in another video or something.

 

its all your fault, you shift too hard heh

cool; once mine is all cleaned up this summer i can join in on the dpa black max patrol
