That looks awesome! You said you didn't have any for a T/A though right? With my car, I wanted the black mixed with red...think its possible, instead of the blue dash, having it light up red? If not, blue is cool with me I'll email you about further details! Again, awesome job dude! :hail:

That's what FLYNLOW was talking about. Looks like he may have gone AWOL... pity. Those taillights kicked some serious ***.

I've been trying to devise a tail light system similar to what you've done but I have made little progress. I like yours, whats it going to cost ? I also want in on the gauges.

Has anyone actually gotten this product?......

I think it's a lost cause i've heard many stories of not getting anything.......hence why he hasn't posted here since 7-15-02

Not trying to rain on anybody's parade, but I would highly doubt anyone will get ahold of these LED kits........I was interested also.....

I can't imagine that these things would be that hard to make on your own. There's a tech article on the dash https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/leddash.shtml

I would assume that the taillights would be similar. Or, as blackend alluded to, you could create a little circuit board with 10-15 LEDs on it, and just make enough of them to replace the lightbulbs in the taillights.

BULL****! LED's wil run you about 1.50 - 3.00 each, pcboard lmao! CHEAP!, solder... electricity to run to soldering iron

yeah, but do the math 100 LEDs @ $1.50 each = $150. While I agree that a hundred may be a bit excessive, and that the price of LEDs is coming down, you can't realistically expect that it would only take 3 or 4 LEDs to do a taillight.

oh yeah, he was saying it would cost about $80 for the dash and about $100 for taillights, not 100 leds...80 dollars sounds good for a dash unit.. but c'mon 80 dollars in materials is just crazy, i did mine for about 30 bucks

Actually I do still post on this board I just changed my nickname... That's right this is Blackened.

That guy did get his kit.. it just took me longer then I expected to make it for him. So far one guy got my kit for the dash... Mike Buzonik. (crawlinz@Ameritech.Net)

Problem is.. nobody actually came through besides this guy! I received several emails about people being interested but.. that's it. Some people even emailed offering to send me like 20 or 30 bucks to do it. That's not even the price of the LEDs, let alone my time. So seriously for less then $100 it's not even worth my time.

Right now I'm waiting for MacEwen to send me my new silver overlays. It's been over a month and a half since I ordered them and no sign from him I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it like some people on this board would, but I think I'll call him tomorrow.

If anybody is still interested in these, I'm sure I could probably lower my price a little since the LEDs are cheaper these days. Email me at z28@lvcm.com with any questions. If anybody can do some powdercoating I can exchange that for an LED setup

What ever Happen to Your already ordering my LED's and doing a dash in exchange for Powdercoating all your brackets?

I e-mailed you at a few different E-mail addys You mailed me from and still you never got back to me.

The deal was about done. i already had my brackets off my Z and coated and ready to ship when you shiped your brackets and dash kit.

If your still gona do it my E-mail addy is still the same.
