power_getter Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hey guys, I just finish one tail so far, and will start on the other by tomorrow. I order LED array's from customdynamics.com (4 ft), then I cut them to make 6 LED array. 3 for each tail and I bought pair of Benz S500 LED break light.

VXCL Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 great work. I've always wanted to retro leds from donor cars into my last car and even the lgt. I have had s500 lamps in my garage for 3 years now and a smaller benz i think a c230. tails are a real B@#@#@# to work on so i never bothered. and on this car i was hoping the jdm legacy would get them so i could just bolt a set in. we all know thats not going to happen. again great work!!!

power_getter Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 looks good...wish i had the knowledge to do it You just need the time to do it. and If you cut the rear housing of the tail, you will not be able to get it a part. That's why I cut the front lens, and I destroy one tail before did this retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
