I thought it would be cool to have LED tail lights in my 87 but I really didn't want altezzas so I came up with a plan to try to build my own. So I decided that I first needed to learn how others are put together. So I looked around craigslist till I found a pair of cheap lead lights for a tahao that were cracked and scratched for $20. So I then had to brake apart my old lens. lucky that the lens were 20yaers old and came apart with just a screwdrivers.
I then took the led housing with the reflectors(sharp chrome pieces) and cut them to fit in the orginal housing. I epoxyed the reflectors to the housing to keep them in the right postion.
After I got everything placed where I liked it. I then resealed the lens to the housing with clear silicone and held it together with rubber bands to keep the pressure on.
I hope you guys like this I will get a pic of the truck when it all done I also have the third brake light as a led but that it a off the self replacement bulb.
