COUPE Sequential LED Tail Lights
You people asked for it, so now here it is. I have made a set of these sequential lights for the coupe for a member on here who graciously donated his tail lights to the process.
Here is the link to the original sedan lights: Sedan Sequential Lights
So to make the lights work in the coupe, I had to change the control board to be able to have less sequences, but accommodate more total LED's. On to the pictures and videos!
New LED board without the LED's installed
Finished light without lens
Both Lights glued and sealed
Video without the lens on
Video in the dark
Video with lens installed
These LED boards use 37 high power LED's for each light as opposed to 27 for the sedan. The coupe lights have less current running through them though. The light output should be at least equal to stock, but I have no coupe to compare it to
If there is enough interest, I will consider making these for others as well. Let the questions and comments begin!

sweet, finally done. you did a great job. but it's not quite how I imagined it.
Kind of thought it would retain the circular feel like the inner brake light and proceed from the center to out in sequential circles?

. The outer three rings are formed in circles, when I made the board I made sure the angles were centered around the middle LED and spaced correctly. Sorry it wasn't what you were envisioning

Different, but pretty cool. Nice work. Some interesting reflections from an angle with the cover on.
What did you for the edge where the tails had to be cut apart? Looks like they already had a vinyl overlay?
