The "Screw you I want LED tails" thread.
Nobody makes G5 LED tails. So screw you, I'm making my own. I'll update this thread as I go. I got my LED panels for the swap today and HOLY **** I almost went blind they are bright.
I gave the light 12V and pointed it about 8ft away and this is what I get:
So I feel sorry for everyone behind me when I get these done.

On the down side, the 3157 adapters I had for this project won't be here till Tuesday. I was hoping to build these on Sunday but I guess that isn't going to happen.

ALso for anyone wondering it has rained every day I've had off so far so I can't effing take my lights out and disassemble them or the trunk would fill with water. I'm also debating buying an alumilite setup and making replacement lenses, and maybe even clear lenses. Gonna have to see though. Vacuum chambers run $220 so this may not happen right away.

Honestly looks good the way it is IMHO.

Thanks! Like I said I made some pretty good mistakes at the expense of the chrome that needed to be covered up with paint. Same here. If I ever find a set that isn't $200 I'm probably going to buy a vacuum chamber and some resin casting stuff and make extras. Maybe even some clear ones.
