Custom LED taillights...

The bulb above looks exactly like the V-LED bulbs I had in my 2500 silverado for the running lights. They are very high quality bulbs that provide awesome pure white light, not the yellowed tint.

They might help keep more battery juice going to the ignition during the night drags!! :lol: :-$
Ive been looking into doing something similar. I came across this site in my travels and thought about using their products. I think I found it on a s10 or toyota site where guys were doing customized dash lighting. I dont think LEDs work with dimmer switches tho.

I've known about Super Bright LEDs for a while, just haven't bought anything from them.
Make sure you read about those LED DRL bulbs, if your car uses your headlights for the DRLs, you shouldn't use 'em since they aren't as bright.

Doober said:... another little project I was thinking of doing. At first I'd thought of using the trailer-style waterproof LEDs you get at most trailer supply stores/Autozone/etc...
Then I started looking into LEDs and LED strips, turns out they make waterproof versions, but they're a little pricey. I'm thinking of finding some broken '81 taillights (or '78s) and using the housings. The plan would be to mount them behind smoked plexiglas, and the light pattern would be similar to the Regals/GNs, with an amber strip in between the two red strips... I'm still in the thinking stage because I'd need a slightly dimmer strip for the running light portion though. It's likely the reverse light housing/lens would stay since it's clear, and I could just get a plug-in LED bulb for that.
trust me on this one.. I have looked into all the others and actually own a set of the spagehetti engineering LEDs for my Regal.. It saved me a bunch of agg on the configuration and the install was something my 10 year old could do. He actually helped me with them.. I looked at different light bars and sticks and the only ones that put out the brightness I wanted were big $$$ and I still had to fab the tailight ...
this one was the answer! no cheapy bulbs that do not put out.. no cutting to fit in the light sticks.. just a simple take down and install... it literally took me less than 2 hours to take apart, install, put together and wire up.. they look awesome.. im telling you ...
