any one know where i can get some really bright taillight bulbs? i think i smoked my tails a bit too much.
i dont know were you could get brighter bulbs but i think i read on here you can wet sand the tails so the coat of paint or watever gets thinner.
Any pics of your tails "thegreenmachine"
I am thinking of smoking(nite shading) some oem cavy tails soon.
Can tails be baked and seperated?
I have tyc clear outers, thinking of seperating them and smoking the inside......

u could buy LEDs.. cut out the back of the taillight, mount LEDs in that peice u cut out, seal em in. then seal that peice back in. Then just wire every only 2 LEDs or so for parking, then for brakes/turn have all them wired for that.

Mine work very well in the reverse light sockets, just not so well in the tails.
You'll need to get wide angle L.E.D.s to disperse the light properly inside the taillight lens such as a 25 L.E.D. 3157 replacement with wide viewing angles, 6 radial L.E.D.s and 19 forward facing L.E.D.s Check out www.superbrightleds.com. It's a good place with alot of info if you want play around with automotive L.E.D. lighting, plus they're a hell of alot cheaper then most places.
