im lookind to get led tail light bulbs instead of the regular bulbs from v-leds.com. i am planning on tinting m tail lights and i was told that it ould be ok if my lights are bright enough. my questionn which would be the best way to go? would white leds show the color of the lens throught the tint or should i use led bulbs with the same color as the light required such as red led bulbs for brake and tail white for reverse and amber for the turns. which one would ne brighter
led tail lights - 6G Celicas Forums
I've tried a few LED bulbs.
NONE of them were really bright enough. Always ended up putting the original bulbs back in, it's just not the right kind of light
Plus if you put LED's in the turn signals, the car thinks they have blown so they flash at double speed.

The Man's right you know
. As you can imagine, I've tried loads of combinations of different multi cluster LED's and they're all generally inferior because....
1) LED's are inherently directional - the intensity drops off dramatically as you increase the viewing angle, whereas a filament bulb is the same intensity from any angle.
2) The original housing and lens pattern were designed for the type of light produced by a filament bulb.
An alternative might be to strip the unit(not easy) and fit some custom multi LED panels. Culpable04 made some for his and I think he was looking to get them produced if there was sufficient interest.
p.s... I believe you can change the flasher relay to an electronic type which gets over the double flash speed if you must use them for turns

They both look very interesting. Who makes them? As i understand they are selfmade JDM projrcts. Right?
How would it look if you make 2 LED circles instead of one circle + a line

I like what I see fellas......... Those with the circle though would look better with two circles, at least I think so. When they make those, let me know.

Ok does anybody knows (maybe celica 7389) who made these? Are they of the same "producer"? I would be interested in having a set with two circles in each tail light.
2nd question:
The one with the stripes (just above my post) semms to have a flat lense inside. I want to say that it has an even surface on the inside of the lense. The other one has sqaures. What do you see / think?
cheers Joerg

IMO its too futuristic on the 6th gen. I like the jdm tails as is.

i smoked my tails, brake light, sides, and turn signals. they are all completely black. i just have the stock bulbs. it is still bight. the corners are cool because to amber still reflects. go for it it looks good. i haven't had any problems with cops yet. i'm also tinting my windows soon. btw another nice modification is changing the license plate light to white LED. i used three LED's in place of each bulb. with the smoked lights it looks pretty sick at night.

Dont know if anyone noticed but these lights are on the same celica as these photochopped lights from an earlier thread.

Same guy in Japan who sells them? Or maybe something a little fishy? Just a heads up.
How hard do you think it would be to retrofit an LED array into my existing taillights, because if its pretty easy I could start making these

Another lot on Yahoo Japan auctions at the moment. 30,000 Yen + fee + postage.
I bought a load of other stuff at the same time, so the postage didn't hurt too much
I also rewired the RH tail to incorporate a fog light in place of the reversing light to comply with UK law.

id still have that "night car" one, its something different. and you could maybe even paint the black part the same colour as ur car
I think if the clear lense would be a little tinted and if the Led Clusters would be without the metal ring around them then it would look like hell.
and you would kill for it
well i would
Who made them???
