Okay guys. I made them. Custom LED Tails. They turned out great. So great that I'm thinking about making them and selling them. However, they are VERY time consuming. That's why if I was to make them, I'd probably have to charge about $450 per set (that is with you sending me your tails and me converting them). The price would include all the necessary equipment and me shipping them back to you. You would have to pay for shipping to me. I haven't decided if I'm going to do it yet I just want to see what kind of interest this would spark. The outer ring would be your driving lights and the middle would be the brake light. The reverse and turn signal would be an easy swap that you could do on your own by purchasing LED replacement bulbs. Let's see who is interested. Here are the pics.

 

It wouldn't be until around mid-June til I can get started on orders. I am heading to Europe for about three weeks for a nice vacation. Here are some more pics.

 

I'm actually tackling a project like this myself. The only difference is that I'm using 4'' LED lights that you find on the 18 wheelers.

 

Great! Can't wait to see how yours turn out. I'm very happy with mine.

SWEET! u and roger need to team up.

man, if i weren't so afraid of **** going wrong, the LED tail lights and puddle lamps are 2 mods i'd love to get.

 

I'd like to see a schematic. Are they regulated? Are you using a PWM for the brightness control? What make and model are the leds? Did you make the proto board yourself, use copper clad, or did you have it pre-made?

Pictures of the circuit would be nice too.

Also, no drop in reverse led will be bright enough.

 

Your lights look very nice, but since they are so time-consuming to make and thus expensive, I'm not sure they'd be worth $450+shipping plus the downtime while they are being shipped and converted.
Don't get me wrong, I admire you for being able to tackle a project like this and the result is excellent, but by replacing the bulbs with something like these, the effect will be still pretty good, and for a lot less cost. And such a replacement is necessary anyway for the turn signals and reverse lights to have an all-LED solution.
On the other hand, there will probably be a few people who are willing to do this just to be different
Again, kudos for the great work.

 

That's exactly why I put up the post. I will most likely drop the price. I wanted to see what people wanted and how much they were willing to pay. As for turnaround time, depending on how many orders I got, I could have a set done in 3 days (given work, etc.).

 

^... we're not all led illiterate. Lets see the schematic. Without some type of voltage or current regulation these will not last long.

 

I might be interested, depends on the specifics.

 

he's right.... i fully support your idea of producing these, but at least let RR help you out if need be, he knows his ****..

Rodger, sending you a PM, couple questions...

 

i hate the way that looks with the brakes on

 

if i had to guess, i'd say the center light is a brake light off of a big rig.

 

i just looked at your rear LED pix again rog. they look awesome.

 

blech

agreed. rotary rasp = lighting god

 

Looks good and I'm interested in a kit

 

careful...no offense but I bought some led tails off of a forum member (no longer here) because rasp was no longer making them, i dropped a few hundred for tails that had leds burn out or act weird within 2 weeks...no way of getting my money back...rasp would you make some led tails out of pity for me

 

this guy was active as recently as yesterday.. wonder why he isn't answering Rotary Rasp's inquiries...? something to hide?

 

those are sickkkk. i wish it wasnt illegal to turn mine blue. but those r dope.

 

+1

 

Are any of these still available?

 

Look at the date of the thread.

 

If interested, I could make you a set. I'll have to check but I may still have enough LED's to make another set.

Let me know.

Jason

 

Bueller?

 

yea, lets see that schematic.
