New tail lights, 1/4 done

[Shoeboy]

Well, a project of mine, involving a friend of mine who is into doing all the LED work, is putting new tail lights, and front marker lights on the truck (HID's are coming eventually). Here are a few picturs of where we're at.

These photos are not the best, they are a lot brighter then they look, The old bulb (driver side) can hardly get a reflection off of the van I'm backed up to. The new one (passenger side) can light up the entire back wall of the garage.

The old and the new. My camera has an auto adjust, so it adjusted the brightness in the picture

Park lights

Brake lights (the fact that the auto adjust had to dim the background to black, tells you how bright they are)

We're still working out some bugs, the glue that we used is more visible on the lenses than we initally expected, so we're going to have to work something out that way. BUT, if we get everything worked out, I may be albe to convince him into making another set (He's also finishing up some front markers for me too) or two. The LED's are actually quite pricy, I've spent probably close to $250 on LED's (not the cheap ones), resistors, boards, wiring, and so on, and he's put probably 50 hours into them so far. These are completly trial and error, and we're seeing where this leads, the next set should be made faster, and go a lot nicer with fewer snags. I'll talk to him, and see if he's up for making more, who knows, maybe he could start a business doign this, lol.

That looks cool. You really need to see something like that in person to apreciate it.
