Eventually I will, but it took a lot of time and effort to make. And I have some other things in mind first.

 

oh i c

 

+rep to u

 

sweet

 

hell ya these lights are pimp

 

looks good

 

Looks nice

 

wanna make em for my G5? i was actually thinking of this the other day when i was following a passat into a parking lot

 

i'd like to bring this back up.

I'm planning the 0o o0 look for the summer. Anyway pics of how you you went about this? just general, like the rear of the light housing etc? so I can understand how u popped it all together?

 

I'd like to add something here... if you want to separate the turn signal from the brake you could just splice into the third brake light to get a brake-only signal, splce into your front turn signal wires to get signal-only... through the use of diodes and resistors you can perfectly replicate the Passat. This would look absolutely SICK on a G5 coupe.

 

tell me about it....and the fact that theres NO led tail lights out there whatsoever for a g5 is KILLING me

 

^^ How hard is it to open up G5 tails?

 

havent done it yet so i dont have a clue...i assume it should be easier than cobalt ones cuz theres more grip and leverage as a result of the shape...what are you thinking about doing?? im planning to take mine apart in the near future and painting most of the inside part black to darken it up

 

Get a hold of some LED tails for semi trucks. They're 4" around and should fit pretty easy inside the G5 lights once you take em apart. Just a thought.

 

eh i dont like the way those look...im gonna look around for passat lights like these and try that

i gotta measure the diameter of the chrome circle of the actual taillight under the lens and see what will fit in there

i might even be able to just get a set of cobalt outer taillights and some how retro fit them into the g5 lens...i dont have much experience in ******* around with **** like that esp with wiring so i gotta be careful

 

Making them for the G5 might be a little more difficult to do. I don't think I have the capabilities to make them but it would be interesting to compare the size of the g5 and passat lights.

Here are some pics for you.




It wont be hard at all. Just cook them in the oven at about 200 degrees for 20mins or so and they should just come right apart but be careful so you don't break the outer lens.

 

damn those look awesome i think those make the back look more skyline-esque lol alot more sporty and luxury IMO

 

Here are some pics from tonight. Haven't really got any good night time pics. Maybe I will find someone with a good SLR to take some pics this summer.

 

I don't actually have a G5, but thanks to you and the other guys with this info; I'm thinking of opening up my taillights at some point down the road for an LED setup.

The pics look awesome by the way.

 

aaaaaa i love it *drool*

 

how much of the stock housing did you end up cutting away. all the way to make the thing a cylinder?

 

**** i want that so bad

 

If you are talking about the passat lights I went from this -



To this!!!

 

and u just totally made my day! lol

now to come up with the cash for a set.....**** stereo **** may have to wait in july. lol

 

Someone should try Jetta-style lights also, where the right half of the circle is a turn signal. That would also be pretty nifty.
