LED insert for JDM taillights, still on development but almost done ! Options

[Culpable04]

I've been working on this for a while, I just have one more thing to do and this will go into production just enough for me and some others interested. once done it'll be a drop in LED panel, as of today I have one side with the LEDs and another with regular stock bulbs, to see how they compare and how they perform, so far no electrical problems, they work as they are suppose to, I just have to slightly change the shape of the panel so it'll get closer to the lens, right now is a snug fit so, it doesn't go as close as I would like to.

The pictures are not that great cause I took them in cold / wind / rainy weather so I rushed to it.


feedback is needed / appreciated

More shots please - some distance shots and any shot of the LED array itself? Did you have to open the housing to drop in the panel, or did you just make the aperture bigger? Anyway, looks really good. I'd definitely be interested in a kit.

I opened the whole back of the taillight just to find out that I could just make a little opening on the top of the taillight and slide it in.

I'll take pictures of the panel itself later and some more / better shots of it. I'm gonna take pictures of the whole back of the car so you can see the difference.

I'm curious......did you cut right through the backing case all round to get it apart? If so, I think there's a better although a bit trickier way. You should be able to use the oven technique to prise the lens from the backing.

I haven't done it on the Gen 6 rear cluster, but I have done the Supra Mk3 which is a similar construction, as are the Lotus Esprit(Corolla AE86) and the MR2 which I've also converted. If you want further details let me know.
