Pics of LED tail lights?
 
Anyone have any pics of LED tail lights at nights? The 2004-2008 tail light style. I'm looking at buying some VLED 48 SMT bulbs and would love to see some in pics especially if anyone has any side by side LED v filament.

Thank you!

I have a spider LED for break light and 3 watt for back up and turn signal.

It is too cold out side....
I take a pix later.....
Unless you are in the same neighbor, you can some and see.

Pixs.
Rear - Spider LED break light + 3-watt LED for back up and turning each.
Front - 8000k HID + 8000k LEDs, Europe spec fog light (yellow output + blue tint daytime) (currently having a problem https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/oem-fog-light-fog-up-161524/)

Sorry for the quality.
This is the highest dynamic range of my 6 years old camera could do.

That looks sick man.

CarAndDriver 12-12-2008 03:24 PM

Thanks! Those definitely seem bright enough for brake lights. Sorry bout the fog lights.

krijpipudht 12-13-2008 01:14 AM

I used to have 48 LED-SMT too.
I can swap it back real quick.
However, it is raining now.

Silver_Mazda09 12-14-2008 03:06 AM

Here your go!
48-LEDs SMT



LEDs is white so color output is deep orange, not red.

I had 48 LEDs for a while and swap to spider for the look.
They look same to me, even spider has less LEDs.
May be they both consume same power.



Just saw this one V-Leds.com
Wanna try it but it cost too much.

Damn V-LEDs and the cool new products they are always coming out with. I wasn't going to do LED taillights because they just weren't bright enough, but I think 86 LEDs would probably do the trick. I suppose next month.

onyx8 12-17-2008 12:57 PM

wow, its hard to imagine those would fit through the hole. its funny saying you have to save for taillight bulbs, but i just may get them. lol

TheWulf 12-17-2008 01:00 PM

Those don't look like they will fit... would love to see someone try!

Aipex8 12-17-2008 02:20 PM

Those are mini-SMT LEDs so the pics make the bulb look a little bigger than it really is. The info on the bulb says that it's 3" in diameter when open. That should fit fine. They may work for the signal and reverse bulbs too (they have them in amber and white also).

Aipex8 12-17-2008 02:28 PM

Just measured my taillights and it is exactly 3" across (on the inside of the reflector ring) so it should fit perfectly. Damn, I'm going to have to get them.

Definitely won't work for turn or reverse though.

TheWulf 12-17-2008 02:35 PM

Show us some pics when you do!

That's a pretty tight fit for me still...

The total diameter is about 5", if the arms had to open behind the reflector ring a bit they could, but ideally (for looks) it would fit perfectly on the inside of the reflector ring.

Wanna see it. If it fits, I will swap again.
