Lol yep. The hard part is getting the lenses tinted right. Just a light tint, to shade the inside work, but it's hard to do right. I've had to sand the vht once already lol.

Let's first see how these turn out. I'm actually pretty strapped for cash right now, so there's a chance I might just sell them if I can make some money. Been working on them for quite a while already.

We'll see how it turns out. Just sealing them back up now. I've been able to wire them directly into the bulb sockets for easy install, except for the turn signal and brake I added to the inside set (these functions are isolated to the outers normally). I'll be posting some pics in a bit. Prob install tomorrow.
Thx!

LED Tails on without lens
Okay, well I've been able to get some pics of them lit up.
Having some problems with the lenses though. I've put VHT nightshade, then clear coat. When I lit them up with the lenses on I suddenly found that one of them has some very weird residue on it. It almost seems as if there are hundreds of snow flakes stuck in the lens. Not sure what it is. I think I'm going to have to give them a good sanding & redo the spray. hopefully its the spray job and not the lens themselves. If any has experience with this happening let me know!

INSTALLED! Custom LED Tail Lights V2
FInally got them installed. A few hiccups, but they look aswesome. WAY better in person, as the pics don't do justice. Rest of the pics can be seen in my build thread: (permalink to section) http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/tsx-b...v7s-diy-06-cgp-tsx-mt-build-5.html#post924793

Not quite sure I want to keep them. Might let them go if I get offers. They are still a 1st prototype, so they're far from perfect. But they're still sweet!
