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 Max from Italy |

QUOTE(wolfie308 @ Jan 21, 2008 - 6:14 PM) [snapback]633039[/snapback] Nice one, I'll be very interested to see it. I've been thinking of doing a red LED conversion for the clear brake, but haven't found a suitable LED strip in the U.K yet. The other issue of course is that using LED's for the brake means that your brake light fail warning lamp on your dash will come on. Do you fit a load balancing resistor or just ignore it? that's part of the design, I design the board myself and the circuit included a load resistor so the circuit board after is put together has the same ( or almost the same ) as a regular bulb.

PM'ed Wolfie Sounds like a neat and elegant solution to the problem. For others wanting to try their own LED setup, maybe something like this could be used....... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Electronic-LE...1QQcmdZViewItem Much easier than trying to fit multiple large resistors which get very hot. Didn't get your P.M as my inbox was full, but space cleared now  -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V? Mine was used in the opening sequences here - note the clear turns and front LED's
