thanx bro. some ppl just have no idea how much it takes to make one. if it was easy, everyone would be rockin LED tails already.

even I won't even mass produce it because i know what it takes to make a quality set.

I know you're making these only for coupes, but I'd appreciate a little insight on the idea/question I posed up above. If you don't wanna clutter the thread, I understand. At least acknowledge it and pm me or something.

i seriously have no idea what you're talking about because i dont know how the sedan lights up.

you can pretty much wire it however you want it light up.

It lights up the same as the coupe. Trunk lights come on only when the parking lights are on, outer lights run dim as parking lights, and are off when the parking lights are off.

rogers price is more than fair, i did my tails the way that he mentioned, on a standard pcb and just "wired" them together. here's an example of one of my boards... this board alone is like 5-6hrs of work . there are two of these in my center tail, and a total of 4 more for both corners.... custom led work is no joke, its far more difficult and time consuming than a headlight retrofit. each of my leds has 4 legs, there are close to 500 leds in my entire tail light setup, every 4 leds has a resistor... then count the connections on the voltage regulator boards.... thats more soldering than anyone can imagine. my lights have been sitting around unfinished for close to a year now because its such a daunting task that i just done feel like spending so many hours to finish it up. especially since time is scarce now a days.

im not even sure i like the design i chose. it was cool back when i started over a year ago but now im not so sure. and i dont really like the look of these leds behind the stock lens so i'd need to spend money on a altezza set and that more money i dont feel like spending. if i could go back in time, i wouldnt have even started this project. :(

good luck roger... remember the days when i would pm you about simple *** led questions, now im tackling my own projects :D
