Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
Two stage arrow blinkers gets extra credit.

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
I'm not sure how possible it would be and/or if it would even be a good idea but some sort of sequential arrowing may be better than an actual arrow arrangement. Just my opinion. Personally I wouldn't want the LEDs in without the diffuser, seems too poppy without it for my taste but it comes down to personal preference more than anything and please, don't allow my opinion deter you from creating varieties for everyone else that want alternative options. Variety is good

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
I'm hoping to get pics from one of my previous customers, but I did an Audi style design what the parking lights were a ring around the light and the brake lights "filled in" the middle.

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
I've personally been dying to try something like the Chargers have. Having leds light up the entire way around the light bar..
Like this

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
I'd like to see something that takes some cues from the Audi R8...

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
I'm not a big fan of copying other car's more or less unique features. It's an SVX, not a Charger. I understand taking cues is a bit different thing but at least the design should be unique to SVX.
Maybe try to take a cue from the rest of the SVX design.. repeating the same elements is often more elegant and effective. Perhaps the window-lines could be implemented in some way.

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
Window lines in the brake lights? Okay..
I just think our light bars are the right shape for some Tron-LEDs.

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
Kinda cool... Looks good, not sure it would look good on an SVX though wouldn't hurt to try it. This would look good on the SVX I think... Kinda a cool idea but I don't know how it would look on an SVX |
