very nice job. I'd like to see someone try out the coupe turn signal and make it turn on in a ring motion around in a circle. You say you dont have access to coupe tails but IMO it'd b a great investment, with your talent i'd do it. Tons of ppl on here would buy for sure.

OK, it is all done, installed, and SWEEET! Here are some final pictures and such.

Where I screwed up cutting the first lens off (Second one was perfect)





Front of final LED board




Back of final LED board




LED board installed and glued into the taillight




Clamping the tail lights back together




As much as I didn't want to have to use one, I needed a power resistor to avoid hyper flashing. I epoxied them to the frame




Tail light installed and ready for the trim to get put back into place. I placed an insulating material on the back of the control board to avoid shorting anything out to the frame of the car.




On to the videos!



As you can see, they are at least similar to daytime brightness if not slightly brighter



Also, for all you coupe people, I will be attempting to see what I can do as far as doing this for all y'all coupe people out there.

Thanks for the props guys! I can say this certainly was an adventure As for the people who would want me to make a set, I will be getting a set of 06 coupe tail lights soonish I think so I can take that apart and see what can be done. 03-04 Sedan folks, I know how to do those now, so if there are any serious inquiries shoot me a PM.

Ivory, if you have the pictures already I'd take em. I will be getting a set of 06 coupe lights in awhile, so if you haven't already taken them apart, you do not need to.

BTW, what are the differences between the 03-05 and 06+ coupe lights? I'm a sedan guy, so I have never really looked into it before.

the only difference is the reverse lights are rectangular and the surface of the lens has ripples where the rings are.

i'll send the pics in a bit
