S13 coupe LED taillight conversion

[Dammitboy]

Truth be told the baking & removing of the lenses was the worst part. I'm ashamed to say I ruined 2 pairs of tails before I got it right.

[noobdrftr]

that is just sick...

[ag240]

holy hell those are bright, i dont wanna drive behind you.

[1SickSilvia]

Thank you, thank you. I'm about half-way done with the pass side light, time permitting. I will put it all up when done.

Awsome mod, and nice job. In your write up you said, bake the light for 1 hr at 175 f, isn't that too long?????? I did black out headlights on my Rsx once and I had to remove the lens, and I only baked it for 12-15 mins max. at 175 f and the lens came out easy.

Anyways, just a heads up to whoever tryes this, - make sure the tail light dosent touch the metal sides in the owen cause they will melt - I used an old towel underneath them so it dosent melt to the rack underneath- the black glue in the lens is a b**** to get off anything , including your hands

A+

That's awesome.

how about a parts list, like how many leds and where to get that many.

Like dammitboy said, check out hidplanet.com. It's a very involved project. I had plans to start mine a year ago then realized how much I needed to learn. I'm just starting my project. good luck to anyone the has plans to attempt anything like this.

Another reason that car mods are cool is when you do it yourself ..great job

[94_240sx]

This is my kinda project. I can do this all day. I love a project that takes forever. Gives me something to do after work and makes me focus. Good job, man.

[Dammitboy]

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you guys like it! I enjoyed doing these, but man, I'll never do coupe tails again!

[SirSilvia]

yeah man those looked damn good, i would like to do that but stagger the LEDs like this

B-E-A-U-TIFUL!!!!! i know youre done with them and stuff but man i would sure shed some cash for this

[1992_S13]

how the crap did u do the conversion? did u buy all the led's and put em in by hand?

[abhik.light]

Its looking great. LED tail lights are really best at present times. I have installed it too in my car.

[prestodevil]

Damn, thats the most ballin **** ever yo. props.....mad props.

[Cadishma]

great job man! doing it my self.

[King Ranzo]

Somebody has to market these. I know I would f*** up on something like this.

[SilviaMike]

that looks absolutely bad a**.. props to you sir

[Broadfield]

Somebody has to market these. I know I would f*** up on something like this.

"Somebody" does make them, but you got to pay to play! I talked to the owner, super nice guy, about getting a sponsorship on a set of tails. His company is super small, so obviously he said there was nothing he could do.

how much did you spent on the whole project? i didn't see a figure while scanning trough...

[SR24DET]

Simply awsome!

[Dammitboy]

how much did you spent on the whole project? i didn't see a figure while scanning trough...

I spent around $300 for everything. Been nearly 2 years since I did these & they're still going strong!

[zeedakay]

[Nismo775]

was going to message you on youtube but i'd ask here

what conversion of headlights are you running?

i kno its a stupid question but with the h.i.d.'s it looks fresh.. let me kno

thanks

[Dammitboy]

It's a Bosch H4 conversion with 6k HID.

[spooled240]

man good DIY here, i'd like to do this to my kouki tails but they are worth too much for me to eff up lol

[initial_jc]

I want to do something like this but led's can get expensive

[spooled240]

yeah but if you know what you're doing you could save yourself a ton of money doing it yourself.

did you guys see the 1800 dollar LED kouki tails?

I'm usually looking for a running hatch when i have 1800 to spend lmao
