Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
Yes. They are nice, but expensive. There are a lot of worse ways to burn $500, but consider it a treat, not one of the first things on the list. Take care of any and all issues with the car first, and make sure you have a $1000 transmission "rainy-day" fund before you go buying them.

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
Them mod covers ALL the lights on the back side, including the top center bar on the "lip" ?
Did anyone by chance have his mail? How complicated and time consuming was the installation?

Re: Apkarians custom LED taillights
I'm curious about the lip bar myself but I don't think that was covered (please correct me, I want to be wrong!) and if it isn't, can it be done? As far as the side markers, wasn't there just a much brighter bulb that could be used for these to make them stand out more? I don't think I like the mini tri-led thing going on there... then again, I didn't see any pictures of it specifically so maybe I missed it.
Back when I first seen the thread I wasn't too interested in the idea but with the progress of having my Laguna completely refreshed come summer, this whole revival on the thread has me seriously considering the idea.... even if the price is chunky.

Click the link in my sig and send him a PM, if that doesn't work then I can look through my email for his email address. But try a PM first. They were not very time consuming, but you have to run a wire from the trunklid tail bar to the other two lights. Really, you just have to get some wire and be able to connect two wires together. When you open the trunk, on the right side by the hinge there is a bendy rubber tube that has a wire in it for the stock tail lights. I ran my wires through my own tube next to it and zip tied them down out of the way of the hinges so they don't get pinched. Very easy. I had to extend the wire just a tad to hide it how I wanted it.

The side marker lights were not changed in the original setup, I got mine with a straight led strip light, but I think he was talking about making some changes like we had suggested in that thread. here are mine. |
