Dude, if you are going to mod the koukis PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let us know how you are going to open them up without breaking the lenses! I have my own LED ideas for them and I think it's time to replace my current USDM LED converted tail lights.

this gives me inspiration.. but i had a question: what connection do you use to connect the taillight so you dont have to rewire everything? do you just solder the led wires and the wires for the original lights together? (im not sure im explaining this right)

Sorry guys, just been too busy with school & work as of late. I promise to do a write-up soon. Just waiting on a last shipment of superflux leds to finish up the passenger side.

On a side note, I am experimenting making this...

Chuki LED JDM style

You can see where the white & amber LEDs will be seperated.

More later.

I just got a set of coupe tails and was toying with the idea of doing a led retro on them and selling them. Anyone interested in them if I do?

I'd actually be interested in sending you my half clear/half red tails & have you do them. how much would that cost? email me? powered.by.orange at gmail.

wonder how that would turn out, mmmm.

There is plenty of information and pictures in the led section of hidplanet.com for you to figure out how to diy. If you took the time to research a little, like dammitboy has props to you man, then you would have all the info you could ever need.
