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 |

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? -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V? Mine was used in the opening sequences here - note the clear turns and front LED's

Please Richard, esplain me this problem If you just fit LED bulbs in place of standard bulbs for the brake lights in the Gen6, you may have a light come on your dashboerd telling you one of your brake lights is not working. This is because LED's have very low resistance compared to a normal filament bulb. You can fit resistors to overcome this, but it starts to become too much hassle. Most people either ignore the warning light, or just fit a normal type red bulb. Hope I haven't confused you more. Culpable04 may have something in mind for this(thanks for your P.M C04- I'll get back to you in the morning) -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V?
