Wow man, yea those look nice as ****. I'll start looking around for some cores around here at the pick n pull. Gotta get up there and find my axle washer, and I'll see if I cant find some nice ones incase you need another set or something. How soon do you expect it to be before you get your supplys and stuff?

Does the whole light blink when you have your turn signal on or just part of the light? also is the reverse portion or the light a regular bulb or led's? I would like a set maybe even two

can be setup either way. I chose to have the outer portion act as the multi funtion light and the inner brake and parking light. Keep me posted as i have a set that i am working on right now. Please let me know.

Very nice. Can you set the light up to blink sequentially toward the side of the vehicle?

They can be set up that way. I personally dont have the time to actually do it but they are set up the same as oem so it is possible.

Quoting pics for page 2. Very nice; adding those few LEDs into the edges makes it look so much better. If you ever do Gen 1's, I'll come back here. :)

By the way, how are your "fartcans"? They sound real deep in that video. Are they good all throughout the revs?

Received The Led Tails Today, Bu

Brian,

After an extended wait I received the two led tails you made up for me. I have to say I was anxious to get them and excited to put them on. They looked great in this thread. BUT, have to say I am really disappointed with them. Maybe you sent me the wrong set and this was just a set you were messin around with.

I know I sent you cores but after you were working on them. My cores were in excellent shape. Both of the tail lights are very badly cracked. One almost in half cracked across the red outer lens and black inner part. The other cracked across the red lens and the red reflector end all broken. If this was shipping caused hope they were insured. I plugged them to see if they worked. On one of them only two sections work, compared to the pic in the thread there are leds at the back and along the side. Only the back lit up and with the turn signal on gave a fast flash. Same thing for the other one, no leds along the side and only the brake leds lit up, no turn signal at all. Perhaps it was because some of the wiring is coming apart. There are a couple of wires that look like they were twisted together and had a little electrical tape on them but have come apart. The connections don't look that secure.

So it's obvious I am disappointed and with the way they look and work and I feel ripped off. But like I said maybe you sent the wrong set to me. What can you do to help get these right? Thanks. I can post pics later of how they look and work.

I will post pics but it won't be until late tonight. I also had nighttime video, but it doesn't show much. One only the center portion lights up, no blinker or brake, the other has only the center and part of the outside (with one dead led) light up, turn signal and branke light, but like I said there are also disconnected wires that came out of the electrical tape. I know you said the cores were good but you dropped them and they had a small crack, but you were going to use other ones that were good and not cracked. Save the cores I sent you and use them, they are perfect.

OK, I'll try again with the pics. Edit: I see the pics work now. I know you said you had good cores to work with but had then dropped them so they got small cracks, but since I replied I didn't want them cracked you said no problem you would take care of it. If you used the cracked ones anyway like you say now, the cracks got a lot bigger as you can see. Also, I figure they are not working correctly since I can see four wires that came apart on the outside wiring and attached to the sockets. I don't know about anything inside the housing being ok or not.

Also, I know the cores I sent were perfect and I thought I packed them rather well. You should have said something when I emailed you and asked you if you received them, if they got there cracked. I sent them UPS which is insured for $100.
