Dual circular LED rear tail lights

Anyone else interested in doing this mod?
I think it would be sweet if the dual circular LEDs lit when the headlights were on and the horizontal LEDs came on with braking.

How hard would this be? Cost? someone must have some experience with this.

Thanks to TopSecret for the picture:

I'm currently working on this mod. I know another guy here had a prototype picture from a year back. I never heard anything new on that. I also think Clear Corners is working on a taillight mod. I just bought a separate taillight on ebay so I wouldn't ruin mine. Gonna start fiddling with it in June.

At first I thought - Damn that looks awesome, just what we wanted from the beginning. Then after 5 minutes I thought - Wait, that looks identical to a 2005 G35 sedan.

You know guys, when the post about the Top Secret coupe came up with these pictures, I was like DAMN, those taillights are cool. But then on the other hand, the stock shape is not too shabby either, I mean it's very unique with the single circle and the horizontal LED stripes - something that you won't see on any other car...
(Check out my avatar )

But that GTR style tail light is cool nonetheless. Depends on how it comes up (David G), I might be in for changing the taillights.

Keep us posted.

Cool! Maybe I'll hold off on mine. If you haven't started yet, let me know if you want to compare notes.

That looks great. What about the side light that normally blinks for the turn signal?
