Prices aren't too bad for these parts.
Anyone ever try using these?

This is one of the LED lights,

It's only $16.95 each or $59.95 for 4

 

I used the oval ones for my tailights. 3 on each brakelite per side and 2 for each turn signal per side. They look awesome.

 

those are the lights that i am using for my altezza taillights

they look amazing

Cool,
got any pictures of the lights on and of the assemblies?

 

Any idea what kind of pattern you're going to do?

 

I don't know yet, I may use 2 or 3 of the round ones in each tail light or maybe use 4 of the rectangular ones.
I need to do some measurements and start designing.

 

Did you think about hook up the siquenchal (sp?) turn light system. Where the lights flash in a row to the direction you are turning (the new mustang concept has them) and somebody posted a link a web page along time ago that you can buy the system.

 

Naw, that looks cool but isn't me. I'll probably have the lights on the very edge as the blinkers and the centers as the running/brake lights.

 

your going to use all red right, (no amber) I hate the amber on my camaro, thats why I got tail light covers.

 

Ya, I'll be using all red or clear, doens't matter since my lens is red. I am going to start outlining a design for the lights today, try and come up with something unique and interesting.

 

So your goint to keep the orig firebird lenses and put the leds behind them. I thought you were making a whole new light set up.

 

One or the other, don't know yet. Using the stock lenses would make it easier though.

 

I always wanted Vette or Ferrari style round lights on my Bird. I couldn't figure out how I could make them or find lights so I abandoned the idea. looks cool. Sometimes the simpliest taillights are the coolest.

 

Zeph,
Got any rear pics of your car, I could photshop some Ideas for ya.

 

Here's a real quick one

 

no sorry zeph..no pics yet... i am looking for someone or somewhere to vaccuum form the plastic overlay for my tails...and then..i am done/...

4 taillights would look much better. one light on each side for the turnsignal, and d1 light on each side for the brake. Now, what do you do about the reverse light?

 

.

 

Putting in that reverse light is hard appearence wise. That light ruins the look. Where else could you place it? Under car perhaps?


jawzforlife1,

Since you are photoshopping, can you make a quad light version for me.

 

here's the quad, with revse and a cadilac style 3rd blrake light

 

I just realized, he wont have long narrow section of lights to work with, oh well back to the phoshopping board.

 

Im not sure how old you are or how long ago you were in HS, but I know at my HS they had a vacuum forming setup in the tech ed dept, it was pretty easy to use. Maybe you could talk to a teacher and see if they could hook you up and let you use it or find a student and pay them to do it or something ???

 

i was, at one time, looking at doing ferrari style lights on my car as well, but i couldn't find any way to from the outter shell. but if you didn't mind working on the light some, you could do it ferrari style and put the reverse light inside the red one. maybe a small round hid fog light would work. just cut a hole through the red light and put the white one in. i think it would look pretty cool! just my $.02!

here's a ferrari f-50's lights, just for refrence





wouldn't that look sweet on the back of a camaro with the z-28 wing!? i think it would!

doc

 

lmao well im 24 so ive been out for quite sometime...i will ask the gfs brother and see if he knows anyone that may be able to do something for me..thanks ponykiller

Here are a couple,

 

I don't like the fact that I have 12 lights in to plug in for taillights. I would like to have a simple setup. Thats why I like Ferrari Lights. I really like the reverse light embedded in the taillight, maybe a turn signal embedded another taillight too.


How would I make only the red part light up so that the turn signal or the reverse light doesn't light up when the brakes are hit?

How would you start to make a housing for these new lights? I am very curious now.

 

I think they would look alright. I actually thought of the same thing when I was behind a Pace bus on the way to work. I wouldn't put them on my car cause I don't wanna go through the work and time, but I think they would look pretty nice if done well.

 

I kind of feel the same way. There would be a lot of work and time involved for me to do it. The cost would not be a lot, but I like my taillights enough not to go through the trouble having something I really like.

 

What about something like later second gen Mazda RX-7 tailights.

 

Yeah, those are sweet too, but how do you start? At import shows I always see like Civics with Lexus tails, BMW tails, etc. Looks like too much work. I bet it would be worth it though.

 

I like this one, but I would like to have the reverse lights the same size as the brake lights.

 

Well I didn't necessarily mean to actually take som RX-7 lights and graft them on a firebird (but definitely an intresting idea ) Just that if that was a look he was going for. I can see those LED circle lights being places behind a modified stock firebird tailight assembly to give it the look of the RX-7

 

devianb: i have to agree that i like the ferrari style light. as for setup, i'm not a real expert on brake lights, but there should be different wires for the different lights. ie, wires for brakes, reverse lights, running lights, etc. as for the truck lights, there would probably be two sets of wires on those, one for brakes and one for running lights, and you would just have to hook up the appropriate wires. for your reverse lights, you would just hook up your reverse light wires to the fog lights (if you did what i said). although, you might want to check the amps to make sure there will be enough power going through the reverse wires to power the "reverse lights." there is also more than likely a plug on the wires and you would have to strip that off and tie the loose wires together to get 'em to work. sounds like a lot, but in all honesty, it wouldn't be that hard. <-- that's about as clear as mud....

the hardest part would be vacuum forming the housing for the lights... and that i have no idea how to do. hope this helps and is at least half way accurate!

Are you able to get long skinny lights like that??

 

here are the ferrari lights

 

I love it. Now, if only I knew how to make something like that.

 

Sorry, I only know how to draw them

 

That looks sweet.
I am afraid to ask what actual Ferrari lights would cost.
I'll call tomorrow and ask and post how much they are.

 

Can you get some ferari "kit car" lights, ie. lights made to look like ferari lights.

 

That's a good idea, didn't even think about that.
Gary's Custom Exotics is a local company and all they do is build replicars, Ferraris, Lambos, etc...

 

So I changed you mind on the color of your car (to black) and now some ideas on lights. I think you should put a stcker on your car when it gets finished:

*Made with help from JAWZ* j/k

If these lights work out that would be nice looking. You might be able to use the orig lights at the "base" of the design, and paint the the smae color as the car, Than cust out what ever you need to make the new lights fit in, seal it out and your set. Just a quick thought, I've never done it before so i have no idea what I'm talking about.

 

If you design the sticker I'll put it on the car.

I plan on using the stock tail light housing as the base to mount the lights, unless I learn how to fiberglass.
We'll see though

 

I not goining to make you put it on the car, but if you want me to design something thats not a problem. I hope the car turns out as cool as I think its goin to look.

 

I'll put it on the car, something like "Styling by JAWZ".
Car should be awesome when it is done. I have it pictured in my head how it is going to look.

 

I think using the stock housing is a great starting point because they already bolt in, just have to fiberglass. I am not particularly good at it so I never gave it a serious thought.

 

I just had a dream tonight and in my dream my car had the Ferrari tail lights on it. car still wasn't running but the lights were on it.
What does this dream mean?

 

Well, I just got off the phone with Ferrari and and got a rough sizing of the lights, they are 6" Diameter and 6" deep.
Each light is sold seperately and comes with wires.
Outer lights, the ones toward the edge of the car are $265 each and the inner ones are $200 each.
The lens is not replaceable since it is part of the unit.

I am thinking that they may be too deep to fit on the car unless holes were cut into the back metal panel to accomodate the length of the light assemblies.
Next time I run up to DC I'll stop by there and take a look at the one light they have. The guy there says that it should be there when I come up since the lights are only for an F50 and there are so few of them.

 

does the lense do flush with the body, can you move them out a bit to make some room on the inside?

 

I won't know until I can actually see the assembly, kinda pricey though, about $1,000, or $800 if I go with 4 inner lights.
I'll take some pictures and measurements when I go up there.
