Anyone of you who opened the jdm tail light?
I intend to open completely, not the method to open a little to remove the amber part.
I'd like to open them to study some new styling modification (maybe leds?).
I think the boling water method like the anterior jdm is not work, cause they are all plastic,
and it could damage them.

Thanks to all

wow, Culpable04, it's an amazing work.
You opened them using an heat gun how suggested by Daftboy?
Can you make an "how to" guide?

1) It's my impression or the leds seems to be yellow and not red when lighted on?

2) When the tail light are opened, do you think it is possibile to work on them to modify the internal structure?
I'd like somethin different from that multi-square separation (maybe an unique light with stripes of led?)


the LEDs are red, they came like that on the picture but they are perfectly red, I didn't open the tail lights with any of the methods mention below ( not against them ) I cut the back of the tail light, leaving the portion that holds the screws on place, that gave me a lot of room to fit the LED board, relay and extra wiring involved on the conversion.

there are other stuff you can get pre-fabricated to fit there, you can get those round LEDs tails used on trailer trucks in a spider web design, I wanted a stock look so I design the circuit board and had a manufacturer made a few for me. smile.gif
