LED Brake Lights?

[boudreaujr]

Does anyone know if these exist or will exist somewhere? I'm still reading up on all of the retrofitting of projector headlights but would get a set of LED brake lights right now if they are out there.

Thanks,
Denis

you want led tail lights ?

projectors are $850 shipped, civic hybrid led tail lights are $560 a set + shipping + tax

you can buy led's @ any honda dealership or colleghillshonda.... it's not a big deal...

the only thing is, can you handle the blue tinted part on top of the tail lights

 

[boudreaujr]

hmm, will have to look into those. Never looked for anything from Honda. Thought it would have to come from an aftermarket source.

Thanks for the tip.

CollegeHillsHonda quoted $520 on hybrid taillights for another member

You can make a custom led tail light using the stock ones. But it requires a lot of work and patience.

LED replacement bulbs would be fairly simple. You will need to install a load resistor however for the brake lamps.

Been there.....tried that. I tried making my own LED arrays and retrofitting Accors coupe LED arrays. Main issue was cleanly opening up the tails since they are plastic welded together. Still have a bunch of Phillips red LEDs at the house.

If I were to do it again I would go for Camry LED arrays.

Hasn't ethlar done a custom LED tail lights?

ive gone over designs, never gotten them built

i probably will just buy the hybrid led tail lights & have red overlays to cover the blue part

if you go with just led bulbs where can u get a resistor from. I noticed the led bulbs on xenoxdepot the other day.

really?

make sure to send pics of the installation and the after installed photos at night and during the day if you dont mind. id love to see what these look like on the sedans.

Really. I'd seen them before and was contemplating buying them for the last few weeks. I was looking at my taillights last night and just decided I could no longer deal with how antiquated they are on such a new car. I had thought about doing the hybrid taillights, but they just don't look all that cool, especially for the price. I'm really hoping these things look as cool in person as they do in the pictures, otherwise I've made a $220 mistake. I guess we'll see next week when the arrive. I'll post pictures.

I'll try and get better pictures with a DSLR, but here they are. I like them.

I'm very interested in seeing a few more shots as well. They look good in that picture.
