CUSTOM Grid-Style LED tail lights
***** SOLD*****
Finally getting around to parting out my 89 RS. I got a set of grid style tail lights that I fitted with some LED boards for a 100% custom look. This isn't just an LED bulb, it's circuit boards with LEDs soldered in! Turn, tail, stop, it all works. Just never did the reverse lights.
Only draw back: You can see in the pictures that on the pass side light, there is one row of lights that isn't working. I suspect that a resistor is bad, i tried to diagnose it further but I just dont have the time. Also, on the driver side, there is a board that is dead. Again, it could be something as simple as a solder connection came loose. I made these things years ago and cannot remember much of the project.
I bench tested them at my work, so I know they are fully operational. They have wired ends coming off of the lights, so it's not exactly "plug and play". I tried that a while back, but found it was better to have a more permanent connection.
Many hours invested, $200 obo!

Re: CUSTOM Grid-Style LED tail lights
make me an offer. still fully functional custom LED tail lights. I have seen a couple of guys on here make these, but definitely not something you can buy off a shelf

Re: CUSTOM Grid-Style LED tail lights
Repaired the two bad connections and full set is operational. Waiting on my STS set up and will get these babies mounted into their "new" lenses. Thanks
