Just got this done, now my car is really pimpin' the LEDs lol I might be able to get a night video up later or in a day or two, depends on my spare time, for now, daytime viewing.

ook...will check out at home

 

are those the aftermarket led taillights or did you make them?

 

The outers are from eBay, inner ones are freshly modded.

 

did you use a how-to or did your self?

 

looks good. I thought about doin the inner like that myself

 

Part How-To, part wingin' it. Turned out better than I expected actually.

 

i like the outers, might be a future mod

 

have the same ones. they are off of everything cobalt

 

looks good ive been thinking about doing that to my trunk lights...wat did you use

 

looks good

 

Used the flexible LED strips you can buy from http://www.oznium.com plus a few diodes and resistors

 

 

what length did you get?

 

subscribed - im about to do this for my tails.
Which vendor on ebay did you get the outer's LEDs from??

 

just search for cobalt tail lights...you'll find them...

 

I got my outer lights from kazespeed, but I'm sure there must be more than one person that sells them.

As for the length of the strips, I had to get the 18" and cut them down, cause the 9.5" was just a little short to make it all the way around the light.

 

Very nice! I like how you tied in to the park, and the brake. I do prefer how mine signal with the outer though.
Oh, and your licence plate ftw! My favourite is 1701-E, and NX-59650 though!

 

Dude the Prometheus was a badass ship. That thing could kick your ass three times (literally) before you even knew what the hell it was lol. Okay enough geek jokes :P

I thought about wiring the inners up to be signals as well, but I figured that the outers were bright enough to get the point across. Well, that and I woulda had to run more wire up the trunk lid to do it, so, screw that. lol.

 

can you draw up a lil schematic of how its wired including the diodes and resistors...

 

Haha, absolutely.

Understandable... it still looks good!

 

Alrighty then. Night video is up.

yeah man i'd like to see a draw up of the wiring.. i tried to do it wit mine usin some adjustable resistors but that didnt turn out to well on gettin the brake and parks lights to work together.

 

You need more than just a resistor to do that. I used two diodes to keep the electricity from flowing backwards down the wires making other things light up that shouldn't be. All you need to do is put the resistor on the parking light wire so that the LEDs have the dim look, and put a diode on after that as well as on the brake wire. That way the LEDs can be powered by two wires at once, without buggering up the rest of the lights on the car.

 

man i understand that...but i learn better with pictures...how about a pencil sketch or something
