Im sellin these because i sold my celi...I got so many compliments with these because nobody has ever seen them. They are VERY bright and function perfectly..NO hyper blinkers!! I am going to wait on setting a price because i want to see what people will offer. I spent weeks on these and 80 bux so im not going to make them cheap. Let me know what you think!

damn i like those nice work

ya clean, i might do that to my stockies, i always have some time... did you just use trucker leds??

I Like Those Alot!

im glad everyone likes them but anyone wanna buy them?!?!?!

DIBS!... ricent,YGPM!

I'll get them!!! I PM you already!

By the way i would prefer Paypal if your going to buy them

wuts the price?

if I hadn't just bought some tails, I would have snapped your hand off at the arm they are very very cool. You made those yourself??

(The whole car is sweet btw!!)

yea i "modded" them from normal euros. I am asking around 200 dollars.

ricenit is a great seller! I bought a few things from him not to long ago and I would have picked these up too, if I hadn't just got tail lights! I still love the lights and wish I hadn't bought mine!

Hope they sell!

didnt you try a while ago to sell them... i love the truck led tails you put in it! awesome great work, Erick tried to modify his stock ones i dont think they turned out good.

yea i tried to sell them before but i didnt really have time to follow through because i was tryin to get ready for college. Thanks for the compliments though

Care to give a tutorial on how you made them? Those are kickass! Also, what's the blue light that is where a 3rd brake light would be if it wasn't on the top like the Celica's is? Isn't that illegal? I love the lights though -- would definitely consider doing that to mine but I don't have a clue how to go about doing that.

^of course, he won't give you a tutuorial, otherwise who's going to buy his? pretty cool, how much are you looking for???

lol tru tru

actually i already sold them but i guess i will let you know...
1) get some APC altezzas
2) put em in the oven for a few minutes and the lenses will come off
3) cut out the red circles and the back of the tail light
4) body fill around the light to smooth it off
5) sand the whole light except the reverse light housing
6) Buy some truck trailer LED tails and stick them in the cut out.
7) put silicon around it.
8) tape off the reverse light housing and the light
9) paint it
10) reseal the lens on with silicon
11) wire up the wire convertor and your set

there ya go

I'm the one who bought them!!! Thanks again Ricenit...great craftsmanship! I havne't had time to install them yet. But i'll post some pics as soon as I do. For now here are some pics of what they look like.

chris where did you get the wire convertor i just may want to try this mod out .. but i guess this time with some APC's rather than stock

In GirlSpeak please? Haha, nevermind... I'd probably just waste my money and fuck it all up anyway. I'll figure out how to solder my gauges and do that sidemarker blinker conversion first and then maybe I'll attempt this.

Hi, can I just check something...

The celica break lamps has dual intensity, i.e. less bright when you turn on headlamp, and brighter when you step on the brake paddle. Can a normal LED cope with this?

Not sure if the dual intensity/brightness works by merely passing different current strength onto the tail lamp.

One thing I realize is that the brightness of any original LED (e.g. BMW 7-series) is dependant on the chrome reflectors around each LEDs, since LEDs are only illuminating in a straight path, unlike normal bulb which lights up all the surrounding areas.

w00 cant wait for pics

very nice job. I'm working on reverse engineering a set of afterburner tails. Will post pics when im done

The wire converter solves the brake/running light problem...it combines the two wires so the LED does all three functions...brake/turn/running light. You can pick up the wire convertor at pretty much any auto parts store (got mine at advanced auto parts) for about 20 bux. And in order for you to not a have a hyper blinkin piece of shit like most people...all you have to do is leave in the turn signal bulbs and it allows for the perfect amount of resistence. You can still see them from the side because the are slightly angled out and the reflection from the red lens helps too. DO NOT CUT YOUR BULBS SOCKETS OFF! Just tap-in the wires...make sure you have the positives!

ALL CREDIT for these tails and the great idea goes to vvtlr. He gave me the idea and it worked out AWESOME.
