Re: LED tail light project finally moving ahead... Reply #15 – April 22, 2005, 03:58:37 PM I've still got one more conundrum: Do I paint these things (pictured with only one side cut out) : black (like stock), silver (like ricers), red (like tail lights) or white (like the car)? They'll be behind factory tinted lenses. Regardless of the color, the round things (and square backup light thing) will be black because that's the color of the resin "potting". What do y'all think?

Re: LED tail light project finally moving ahead... Reply #18 – April 22, 2005, 09:16:45 PM I'm thinking white. With all the work you're putting into these custom lights I would think you'd want them to stick out a little. Black would look stock to the uneducated eye. Like you said, silver would make them look ricey and stick out for the wrong reason. Red would blend in with the LEDs. White (body colour) would highlight the LEDs and the round taillights (one of the reasons I like the 87/88 t'bird) The tinted lens would define the taillight from the body. Yes, white, white, yep, white. Quote Selected
Re: LED tail light project finally moving ahead... Reply #19 – April 23, 2005, 12:21:57 AM If you go white, you should mould them into hte body, with the led's having their own round covers. It would give you a look like a Vette, or IS300. Super hot, I think. Otherwise, if you're keeping a traditional lens, go black. Quote Selected

Re: LED tail light project finally moving ahead... Reply #21 – April 24, 2005, 04:20:01 PM The molding into the rear ain't gonna happen - I am to bodywork what William Hung was to good music and common sense, and I certainly ain't gonna pay somebody to do it.I think what I'll do is paint one white, mock it up, and see if I like it. If I don't I'll paint it black. Quote Selected
