TL as fog light and high beam when shield is activated. I'm running a H4 harness that will allow both the fog and high beam shield to be on at the same time.
I usually run with just the S2000 on. No need for more light.
I'd have to quit my dayjob to do a groupbuy.

Update. I took out the diffusers, and it matched much better. I'll put back the reflector from the main LED ring, I'm sure it's there for safety reasons.
very nice work E_K, but yea i'd be way too **** myself with getting it to match perfectly to the stock ring.
nevertheless, I am sure you will come up with a way to make it look hawt.
props to this and perhaps ill get to this project with my buddy later this year

oh and, so you are saying that there is differences with the reflector between the old 03-05 and the new 06+ taillights?
or are you saying the difference is between the coupe and the sedan reflectors?

There's a diffuser that goes over the LEDs on the 06 coupe taillights. By removing that diffuser, that LEDs are matching better.
In the middle of the diffuser of the main LED ring, there's a reflector, similar to bike reflectors. It's there so that people will see your car at night if you're parked along the side of a street. I'll be putting that reflector portion of the diffuser back on later.

So you are going to keep the diffusor out, but try to incorporate the reflector back in?
I just now noticed that the sedan ring has nine lights... i originally would have guessed eight but I can see how putting nine there makes it look better than 8 would... sorry, I am rambling, lol.

Is it just me, or do the sedan rings put out a different color red? It seems as though it is cause they are a different size L.E.D., but that should not make a diff. Or does it? Are they the same Watt? Project looks good though. Cant wait to see pics of finished product.
