I have not received them yet but I got an email with pic's they are or should be done. Just waiting on shipping I think.

Here are some pics that he emailed me.






And something we discussed which appears to have worked out, the corner lights in back.

That's pretty awesome, much better than the LED setup I currently have
Interesting take on the rear side marker.

If I were to go without the diffusers like that though I would want there to be some stylization to the LED arrangement, say for example arrows for the turn signals, ovals instead of rectangles. It just needs "something".

I'm in college and can only work weekends. I did his conversion in 2 weekends. We started talking and then arrangements had to be made to have him send the lights to me.

Re: SVX LED Taillights

The owner plans to tint his tails. You won't see the LEDs till they are on.

In that case he'll probably need as many diodes as you can fit in there.

Yes they will be tinted, though probably not quite as dark as these none led one's I currently have on the car are.

Understandable, when I did the hats, I ended up shipping out for active duty and had to have my mom ship the hats when they came in, lids took so damn long!

Re: SVX LED Taillights

Been off the site for awhile and catching up. If these are still an active item, I'm interested. I skipped reading all the posts but is there consideration for the front waterfall grill and the center panel in the rear between the backup lights?

Re: SVX LED Taillights

These are still active product, pm me with interest.

I haven't ever though about the center front waterfall thing. I think it would be a fun little project. The problem with the rear center section is space. the housing in the center is very close to the lens. The center section would probably look like a continued side marker, which aren't as attractive to many.

Think you'd be able to fit some more in it and the side?


Kind of like someone else suggested, like this:

Any way possible?

Heres a better example:
