I believe he means license plate lights.. they call 'em 'tags' down south!

I already have those, as well as LEDs everywhere else, EXCEPT my tails..
Reece - do you have the LED boards ready for sale? Still waiting for the harnesses?

i have a set ready to go, I can take some pics so you can check them out if u want. The only other thing they need is the harnesses from the stock tail lights so you can plug them into the car easier, but its not necessary if you dont mind soldering them into the car. If you want them, you can provide harnesses and I can wire them up and send it back to be installed.

for a while i been trying to figure out how to do the led light conversion on my 99 maxima. where would i go to get the light from if i wanted to them myself or if i wanted to buy them from somebody.

check on ebay for the lights or in the classified section here on the org. As for the conversion... I believe there is a how to for it here on the org.

I would love to have a pair of LED Tail Lights. Yummy...

Cdg2125 · 12-09-2008, 05:18 PM

guys just wanted to post here, I'm doing a project with my galant for new tails. I've created a circuit for sequentially lit turn signals. Here is the link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQEcpAtnWIg

I figured someone might be interested for the max. I know a lot of people wanted the turn signals added to the led tail setup. Thought someone would be interested in being the first to have them on their max. We could work out specs of the design, wether you want them white, amber, or red, under the stock orange lens, tinted, whatever. Just thought someone might be interested.

petro2342 · 12-09-2008, 05:20 PM

How much would these run about?

Cdg2125 · 12-09-2008, 05:37 PM

well it would depend on the design and parts. With less lights its less expensive. More lights is more. Color changes the price as well. I would guess $150, maybe less.

Carrera · 12-09-2008, 06:08 PM

Alright so, whos got a write-up on how to do these tail lights? I got a 96 SE that i want to swap for 98 tails with LEDs. Just wanna find out how to make these.

Cdg2125 · 12-09-2008, 06:28 PM

well first you just be aware that you can't just swap the tail lights. Well you can but it will look bad without changing the trunk and rear bumper. Do some research. There is a writeup on here already I think. Or do some research on leds.

Carrera · 12-09-2008, 06:33 PM

I already know that. I couldnt find a write up on here, or on the sticky, none of the links worked. That little trick that someone posted about "showthread" and "oldthread" would work if you could see the full link. I got a 98 front bumper cover and rear bumper cover, and im waiting on the trunk. Didnt install any of it untill tax time so i can paint and get body work done.

Cdg2125 · 12-09-2008, 06:41 PM

cool. So you've already covered that, now just do some research on leds.

*TunerMaxima3000* · 12-09-2008, 08:02 PM

Awesome work man they look great!

Axl1969 · 12-13-2008, 09:22 PM

Looks great, would like to have some for my 98

Reece616 · 06-10-2009, 10:06 AM

I have a set of these tail lights ready to be shipped that are looking for a home. if anyone is interested, send me a PM or reply. These can be had for $210 shipped.

*See first posts for pics.

werwt22 · 06-10-2009, 01:06 PM

They look pretty sexy

it's just the LED boards, but for extra I could install them in your tail lights if you send them to me.

*ColombianMax* · 06-12-2009, 01:30 AM

Those do look real good! sorry I'm like a year late lol

Reece616 · 09-07-2009, 10:24 PM

the led boards are still for sale.

if anyone's interested, send me a PM or reply...

$190 shipped... you wont find them cheaper

Viperoni · 09-15-2009, 07:12 PM

Nicely done, I like them!

Michael01127 · 09-15-2009, 07:59 PM

reece, would you be interested in selling me your circuit schematic? becaus ei really want these led tails, i just cant afford to buy them, but if i bought the schematic off you cheaper?
i could build them myself.?
can we work anything out? let me know thanks

how much are you planning on spending total to make your own set?

l ZR1 l · 09-16-2009, 06:32 PM

Those are really nice....what did you make the board out of? cost roughly??

for materials for the first set i bought, it was close to $100. The board itself is PCB board from radioshack.

3000vr4tt · 09-19-2009, 02:01 PM

those are fresh

MOHFpro90 · 09-21-2009, 05:45 PM

Hey man if you dont mind me asking did you use PWM? From what it looks like, you just had an array of LEDs for the "running lights" and then another array that lit up for the brake lights, right? Did you use Voltage regulation?

missexclusive99 · 09-21-2009, 07:53 PM

wow that is nice. how do you get your car so nice and shiny? and also, i know this sounds dumb but do you buy new tail lights and they are just like that or you make the lights look like that?

it's not really that shiny, i edited it in Photoshop. I made them.

I didn't use a PWM or anyother voltage regulation. I did two separate arrays just as you said.

So you simply ran resistors huh? Nice. I have been inspired by your design.

yup. i pretty much had no knowledge of electronics before making these and learned everything i did through the internet (mainly searching google) and kzoosho, and BLACKonBLACK98. doing it the way i did was the easiest way (in my opinion) and achieved a look i liked. thanks, and good luck if you end up trying urself... if not, they are for sale

nismo_nena · 11-07-2009, 09:06 AM

Hey. Ive been lookin for some led's like these all over. How much would you charge to set me up with some? I see your in ct like me. let me know id realy appreciate it.
thanks

*NABU6* · 11-10-2009, 09:44 AM
