Maybe you hooked them up to give a strobe effect to make them more noticeable. You could have made them work in unison with your turn signals to draw more attention to your intended path. Maybe you found a way to have them spell out wise-assed remarks to people behind you that you haven't fully thought out.

There are tons of things you could have done besides having them simply look better. That's why I friggin' asked.

?? as if that question wasn't a little wiseass
im done....

Where did you get the led light strip?

 

[daniel3507]

i think he got them out of a vw rabbit

 

[effexfour]

ya, it was a 3rd brake light from a new rabbit, it had to be trimmed down a little to make it fit tho, i cut 3 led's off either side.

what looks better in a 3rd brake light... and white led strip or a red led strip. bc some people say the white doesn't show through the red lens very well...

 

[daniel3507]

ive always read that its best to match the color of the led with the color of the lens for something like that.

 

[effexfour]

^^ Ive always heard the same, a red light will show brighter through a red lens.

beacuse the red light doesent get filtered through the red lenz if u had a white light it would filter out the orange yellow green blue indago and all all the other colors in the visable spectrum leaving u with a dimmer light

Finally finished the rest of the tail lights, 2 coats of nightshade and clearcoat, with led bulbs from superbrightleds.com. I will get some night shots when i get a chance.

 

[daniel3507]

pretty nice looking. try and get some day and night shots. ive been wanting to do this to my tail lights but im just not sure what it will look like when i hit the brakes

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

wow nice!!! thats the amount of tint i would do in my lights, just a little shade, ive seen some really blacked out but seems like plain black paint to me, yours is better, take some night shots to see those leds!
