I left them because the LEDs wer looking to dot-ty.. the lens just smooth them out some ..

2fast4y0u · 09-29-2010, 08:47 AM

i want it!

HyperTek · 09-29-2010, 11:20 AM

funny when people put really nice tail lights on a car that looks like shit or stock. There should be other mods to compliment the tails.

spiderlone · 09-30-2010, 04:26 AM

hahahahah^^^^^ tru.. its because they spend all ther time working on the lights...

I like them revers lights... I think im gona come up with something better..idk.. well see... stay post it

conrad_s13.5 · 09-30-2010, 07:43 AM

i smashed one of my type-x tails, so ima take a whirl at it,...somethin like that vid, without the crazy blinkers and effects...lol

90white240 · 09-30-2010, 09:06 AM

Damn they are signals. Driving light show haha

spiderlone · 10-10-2010, 06:17 PM

them kouki tail lights are crazzy.. I want a chance to work on thos...

2fast4y0u · 10-11-2010, 01:45 PM

i contacted hid illuzion to see whta it cost to do a LED conversion...no crazy blinkers, or flashers, no random patterns....$700-900!!!! FUCK THAT!

that is just a standard LED conversion. They do look sweet as hell, but i can think of a LOT more things to do for $700

HyperTek · 10-11-2010, 03:10 PM

what do you expect, hours of custom hand labor and materials , just to be sold for the price of ebay altezzas?

Ive had people ask me to do their rx7 tail lights, and when id say $200 *i wouldnt profit much*, they say "oh thats too much Ill do it myself"

2fast4y0u · 10-11-2010, 06:48 PM

shit i would pay $200 for led converted oem tails. better then those ebay ones.

0100 · 10-12-2010, 06:34 AM

Add sound activated LED's with a tiny speaker in the tail light housing. You could get really crazy with that, sure to get you pulled over.

When you get sick of just simple blinking do this:

I can relate. Somebody on a local forum asked me to convert his front signals. Apparently the $50 i was asked was too much. Oh well, keeps us original.

now those coup lights are badass

SimpleSexy180 · 11-20-2010, 07:40 PM

I have to say those HIDillusionz kouki tails are super sick. Might go for that as my next tail light to try out.

That is basically a copy of the Clear Corners LED Kouki tail conversion. Its about the same pricing as well. I would go with Clear Corners because I know the quality of the work.

I am also suspect of any company that uses improper spelling of words in their names.LOL

B4THEZ · 11-20-2010, 09:12 PM

stay away from cincity... look on my350z.com he's feedback

Do you know if the clearcorners tails do that trailing effect with the signals?

Razi · 11-21-2010, 03:57 AM

There was a mention of a taillight "kit" on a Speedhunters article

EVENT>> NAGOYA EXCITING CAR SHOWDOWN - PT.2 - Speedhunters

No idea where to get one though.

If I could find out where to buy one, I'd buy one asap!

t_rempel · 12-06-2010, 10:04 AM

It's too bad that whoever made those tails decided to use 5mm leds. Their narrow viewing angle makes them a prety poor choice for exterior lights. Gotta respect the work put into it though.

^^^^ SICK, that how it should be done or go home.

I need to see some nice type X lights, I dont think the hatch lights look very good in LEDs. At least not the ones in this thread. Seems cheap and cheesy on the hatch lights.

irax · 01-12-2011, 04:31 PM

I just counted and there is something like 225 leds in the turnsignal area alone
and I guess atleast 350 - 400 for the brake light and 100-150 for the revers

775 led's for one tail light

fuck!
