taillight modificationn

hey
I just ordered some of these L.E.D spider lights, they look really cool to me so i thought it would be worth a try, i painted my iroc taillights red, i just need to do the best polishing job ever and see how these turn out... i think it will give them a mordernized look and im kinda excitedd
ive searched and nothing came up on this site so i thought id start a post about them, i got 4 of them and there pretty costly at $50 a bulb... but i hope it turns out good
tell me what you think!

I'd certainly like to see how bright they are under sunlight conditions.

I made LED clusters for my bike turn signals and they looked awesome in the dark or low light. In bright sunshine they washed out and were hard to see.

Lets see them bitches installed.

Oh, I am not a true big fan of LED...unless used in other areas like dome light, trunk/hood light, underdash light. But hey I dont know until I see it.

super bright leds sells rediculously bright lights just for this type of project they dont however come in the distinct star pattern but you could drill holes to make it look like that i guess. Good luck with those and post some pics
