Real Modifications...

You can easily achieve this with VHT Niteshades. It does not dry with a gloss to it. You actually have to wetsand it and then spray clear over it to get the gloss.

I am sure you could find some satin, or low, or even no gloss clear coat. And skip the wet-sand.

Also. How much would you say you spent on materials? How much labor would charge for a set of 2g lights? all 4 corners OFC done similar to yours. Feel to get creative if you dont me running around N. Alabama with a set of cloned lights.

I should be picking up a 2g GST soon. I would absolutely freaking love the tails, however I really am leaning towards a Projector Retro Fit with the halo light with a cut off in the halo done to match the angle of the hood.

Thanks, I will be looking for the niteshades (I hope I'm right in assuming it's a type of paint). I spent way more on materials than I will chage since I've gone through so many just to get the right look. However, on the current setup, there are 4 LED strips totaling $80. I would charge the $80 for LEDs, shipping both ways, and $50 for labor. But as with all things in life, I can be flexable on some things. Cost will go up eventually after I build up the circuit board version and total costs on that. But that will be ahile. (What's OFC) right now, tail lights would probably be $90 in addition to the shipping and labor.

This setup looks sick man, especially the head lights I hope i get a chance to check it out when I get back to the Springs from deployment in march. Gives me some good ideas for what I want to do when i do my 2gb front end conversion to my GSX!

Well, just hit me up when you return from the sandbox, I'll still be here. I ETS later this year and this is my home town and won't be moving anywhere else. Stay safe an keep your head down.

Thanks man will do. Got to make back to work on my project

Those tail-lights are very cool. I'm going to have to post this over on 3sgto.

I should do something like that with my r/t tails. That single-strip of LED's would make a great running light to match the "<<< and >>>" sequential turns I'm looking at getting.

Not a DSM, but I thought I'd share.

Yes, I currently have four working reverse lights on my car.

The plan is to shave the ones in the bumper (the OEM ones), fill in the bumper creases, and nightshade the tails & center garnish. It will hopefully look very smooth when I'm done.

p.s.

I'm working on keeping the OEM spoiler, but moving it so it hangs of the back of the trunk a bit more.

Here is what I was looking at. Something similar to newer Audi headlights.

Clear/White LEDs in the front possibly extending to the side. And amber LED turn signals.

Two ideas, either top row hooking down. Or bottom row. Unsure really if it needs to continue to the side part to look right.

I really love what you did with your tails. Unsure as to how to really pull it off in a 1g tail. Unfortunatly, as much as I dislike 1gbs I think it would really be best pulled off with a 1gb rear end.

I really like these. I like the ones on the bottom of your picture. The ones with the top row lit up.

Sure, it may not be a DSM, but I still like 3kGTs/GTOs/stealths. I think your idea would look good too. If you want it done, you should go with it.

Well, I'm now trying to track down a decent 1Ga awd Talon to buy. So I can start LED mods to it as well (gonna do 1Gb tail light swap thou, I think they look better).

dude.. these light mods are incredible.. u have some serious talent! i'll hit you up when im ready to copy that style.

nice i like the work

Sweet, just let me know. I'm soon upgrading my status to 'supporting freelancer' so it'll be easier for everyone to know about the lights. And there's gonna be a few different designs to choose from that I've already designed, but still need to build.

 

[Blurred Talon]

Check out my threads.
I'm doing an HID Retro and all LED lighting on my Talon (tails, corners, bumpers, interior, blah, blah, blah).

Sadly I haven't updated in a while.

 

[amacrugby]

count me in on a pair

 

[polosas]

in dark they look awesome, but in day, those in video looks much better.

 

[NOREMORSE93]

Tailights look great!

 

[907gs-t]

Love the look of the Tail lights & the Head lights no doubt.

 

[spyderdrifter]

Just a quick update on my LED tail lights... I have ditched the whole aftermarket apperence and placed OEM tail lens on the aftermarket lights to give them a more stock look. It in turn has also made the lens look slightly darker than stock and I'm loving the turnout. Here's a couple pics for you all...:

 

[Dhan]

That compliments the front perfectly. Looks great! Any night shots?

here you go....
the top pic is the running lights, the bottom is the brakes/turn lights.

 

[shadow001dsm]

Thats looks awesome, I have been thinking lately on some ideas for my 1g tail light. but that is fantastic. great work.

 

[4Lurker4]

Unique and well done, thanks for sharing, definitely a nice graduation on the stock lights and way better than what's out there aftermarket wise.

 

[spyderdrifter]

As soon as I can find an unmutalated 2G talon rear wire harness I'll be able to complete the entire setup.

 

[igotawdpsi]

I really like the lights. I've got to replace mine so I might have to look into those.

 

[TJCTalon]

Really like the lights man. I wonder what you could do with the talon tail lights. I have ideas running through my head... Hmmm haha well your not that far from me. Once I have some cash sitting around I might have to hit you up and maybe mosey on down south. Keep up the great work!

 

[2gmummy]

The more i look at those the more i think i like them and the red lens looks way better! Do you have it set up as plug and play or how hardis it to wire it in for the average joe?
