R34 Led Tail Lights

THREAD REVIVAL!!!

lol, is there any reviews on ordering LED tail lights from quest? They do look very tempting....

I converted my set of stock lights to LED's, to make it look like nismo, here's some pics. I'd convert em for people too, for a fee

wow, looks amazing!! I like how you use the stock plastic, unlike some tacky one's i've seen around...

how much am i looking at for you to DIY for me?

I would attempt it myself, but I don't have the tools or time unfortunately

[Charles89]

Can probably do it for $370, including all the LED's and materials required

[NISMO.SKYLINE]

Wow Charles, they look damn good man. I agree with Suwidji and also appreciate how you have used the original light casings. Was it difficult to convert them to LEDs the way you've done? Might go down that track myself.

I've also been looking at a set from MARS Performance. Any opinions on how this set looks...

Also, Suwidji, how do you get that R34 banner at the bottom of all your posts? Would like one myself haha.

[Charles89]

Thanks man

It's not so much "difficult", although I had no background in electronics lol, I had to learn about LED's and resistors. Just took a little bit of time, also getting the template right took a lot of time.

I had a pair of taillights from MARS, which is now on sale lol, they are pretty good, i actually didnt mind them, "East Bear style". But I now prefer my DIY Nismo style hehe.

[NISMO.SKYLINE]

Ah yeah, cool. How are yours in terms of brightness? I know the MARS ones are fairly bright but i prefer the Nismo style over the East Bear style. More aesthetically appealing to me. However, I do like the clear indicator section.

[Charles89]

I compared them yesterday when I installed it, my DIY ones are definitely brighter than the MARS ones lol. And plus, I can choose whatever LED i want and whatever resistor I want to use to reduce/increase the brightness

At the moment, I'm using 12000MCD LED's, and when braking, they are 100% brightness, but when it's parkers, it's probably about 80% or so?

I also converted my centre brake light on my boot

Qest use the highest quality leds available in Japan hence it reflects on their price.

The lifetime on them is extremely long and highest quality.

They use the genuine Nissan housings fully refurbished and highest quality electronic parts available.

I know the owner well and if anything he goes overkill on making these.

I can get them for 10% off the Japanese retail price.

If you want info on purchasing them flick me a pm.

I would recommend these:

Here is what they look like on my car.

They look cheap and ugly in the day light

[shinobi_s14]

Just passing through and leaving a pic of my LED tail lights

[suwidji]

charles, i'll get back to you! definately interested.

Shinobi, where did you get yours from? or did you also DIY? i love the look of using the stock plastic.

[WNTD34]

I agree I also want to know where you got those tail lights from shinobi ! They look way better then the ones on eBay !

[Redline_GTR]

Cars looking good mate.

[shinobi_s14]

It's kind of a DIY job fellas. Got the LED ones off eBay (they're the same ones that daniels14a posted earlier) and then just heated them up removed the plastic covers and switched them with the OEM ones, sealed them back up. Done! I'm happy with how they turned out

shinobi, seeing your panel gaps makes me happy...that i'm not the only one with gaps in the back. arse cracks?

more on topic though, i have no intention of getting LED tails, i love the hot plate look. yesterday i just swapped out all the bulbs with new LED bulbs, and at night, damn, those red rings of sexy!

Bahah yeah I really needed to realign the rear bumper but haven't had much free time lately

[fusion07]

Has anyone actually seen a genuine nismo or east bear LED tail light inside?

I had some in my car when i bought it but not sure if they're genuine or copy?

They're no cardboard DIY sh!t though , very good build quality so was wondering..
