Heat gun and flat head?
Now I'm kind of curious... If I weren't going to Vegas this weekend, I'd try it, just to try it.
open to suggestions on which LEDs to use btw
currently im thinking of having LEDs run from top area then downward on the side (going around the reverse light and turn signal area) and cutting it off there in order differentiate where the rear fog would be
can someone shop the tail light red with the exception of where the reverse & turn signal are? (i dont have photoshop on this laptop)
You guys know I would, but my laptop crashed and I'm patiently waiting for CS5. Besides, I thiink I'd need a better explanation, or a sketch... a sketch would be awesome!
If nobody comes through for you Martin... I do have CS3 on my ancient desktop. I can try to make it happen there.
I think the 04-05 tails will look sick if someone opens em up and removes the red/orange reflectors and makes em all clear. Kinda like the clear taillights on the Lexus SUVS. I know some might think rice but i beg to differ.

Will look good on white/black/silver EP3s...maybe even lightly smoke the clear tails ya know.
BUMP for progress on Martin's master plan!
If you could figure out a clean look with an LED pattern similar to our reflectors... I'd buy them shits! :mcool:
Running lights like so...

With the brake light filling in the rectangle (where the brake light is now)... :hat:
not a bad idea..the hard part would be figuring out how to get individual brake and running lights seeing as our tail lights use double filament bulbs.
its worth a shot though..once i finish with the 04/05s ill try that on my 02/03s
PROGRESS:
ive managed to fab the rear fog light (just a test; the final one will be going on the driver side tail light):

this school quarter's almost over which means ill have some time to play with it more
So Shadow, did you ever figure it out? If not, I'll pull my tails this weekend and try a few things. I'm just super curious how things come apart.
nope..go for it!
ive been itching to do it but i havent had much extra time
Bump anyone figured it out? I'm about to put up the led pattern and I need to know my self. I still have to wire them. I ended up getting super flux quad led for mines. So it's plenty bright at a full 12v break and dim enough on a running. I am using a 1157 base with pig tail coming out.
