Question FD Rear LED lights

anyone got any of these fitted, know prices etc? im liking the ones on the second row down, i think they are a different design than the row above, which is trying to be too much like an R34 for me

Rear LED lights

Also, anyone in the know, is it a full assembly replacement, or some sort of lamp/bulb replacement only, in which case would you have to already have the 99 spec rounded light to get a perfect rounded effect??



Cheers

Ryan

I've never seen those lights before, and IMO, they're just as awful as "rockshox's". For some reason, they remind me of Las Vegas.

I ran that page through a translator, and you have to send them your taillights, plus the fee, and they will convert it to that LED setup.

Always ways around sending your lights to Japan.

I was watching a city bus with LED's about 1/8mi away. They were pretty f**king bright... almost like looking at a laser pointer.

I'm on the fence about the FD set -- will have to see it in person. The Miata set looks good though.

I like them. It was only a matter of time before LED's made their way to the FD.

I think they would look alot better (and no doubt increase the cost quite a bit ) if more LED's were used in the same size space.

LED lights are interesting to watch. When they come on or go off it's instant. Incandecent come on and go off gradually. Prices are coming down. Soon they may even be affordable.

I was thinking the same thing.

...more like the Lamborghini kit.

I guess that's why the Miata kit looks better to me (minus the center light). Though, it looks like the stock lens is diffusing them, rather than there being more lights.

I think they draw too much attention; a cop will be able to single you out in crowded traffic too easily.
Then again, if every car came with these, I'm sure no one would want them anymore

Apparently, that's how some of them came in stock form (shape-wise). http://www.lambocars.com/framed/highres/diablo60rw.htm

That's funny, I don't remember the garage being pixelated out like that the last time I saw that pic. They must be hiding their collection of vintage arcade games.
