Hey Guys. I know this seems like something that should be easy to locate, but I've been searching for over an hour with no success.

I need pics of 2005 Sedan Tails lit up at night. Directly from behind would be best, but an angled shot would be good too.

I am thinking about customizing some tails, but I need pics to put into photoshop so I can see how it will look before I buy the tails and rip them apart.

I'll post my photoshop ideas for feedback once I get the pics.

Thanks!

 

Not really at night, but my lights are on.

 

Thanks man. That's a good start. Anyone else...feel free to post!

 

What do you plan to do?

 

Well it's just a thought I've had after looking at tons of 05's pass me by on the road. I've always liked the look of the 05 tails during the day, but I feel like the 03-04 tails look more agressive when lit up. So I want to "adjust" some of the LEDs. Hopefully if all goes well, I'll have the photochop up tonight so you can see :-)

I've been working on two other custom lighting projects that I hope to have finished by springtime. I've owned this car new since 2003, and I think I'm finally getting bored with it's looks, so I'm doing some upgrades.

 

 

Perfect! That should be enough for now. I'll keep you posted. Looking forward to some feedback on this one...

 

OK Guys. Here are some quick mockups of my thoughts.

None of the LED's were moved in any way, they were just "deleted"

I think I may need to make some other photochops to Papa's sedan to get the full idea of what these will look like.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Again, this was just something that's been floating around in my head for a while and I wanted to see what it would look like before I do it...

I think I might like the last one the most. Gives it that "demon eye" look.

 

So you are interested in removing part of the ring so its not a full circle?

 

Well, yes...basically. I want to give it a more aggressive look.

What are your thoughts on how any of those look?

The LEDs are just inside the holes of the chrome plastic housing. I could do one of two things...pull the LEDs out and basically just put black electrical tape on them and tuck them away in the housing so they won't show, or the more "professional" approach would probably be to leave them in the chrome plastic housing, but disconnect the wiring in the series, and install a resistor equal to the value of the number of LEDs I remove.

 

Looks like a busted tail light....

 

I think the full circles look perfect as is, I wouldn't delete a portion of the rings.

 

Yeah, that would be my biggest concern in how it looks.

I think the symmetry of both sides looking the same would rule that impression out though.

 

Just do it dam it. 03-04's are the best when stanced out
