How much would you pay for a set of LED tails?
I might do this over my spring break( my springs break comes after everyone leaves and its dirty EVERYWHERE in Florida)
How much would you pay? They would be just like mine and it will have red/clear tails and I will match the inner ones. All you would have to do is to install the taillight because the wireing and everything would be complete.

Im sure you could sell then for about 150-200 bucks or something to someone who really wants them. But then again, i have no idea really the amount of time and such that goes into making a set.
I do have a quick question though, why is your spoiler brake light solid like a caddys and not the normal dotted looking like everyone elses? Aftermarket? Or just the way the pic came out...

the parts for the leds cost about 60. Tails, I hope I can get for less then 100 for all 4. I would like to have atleast 200+, but if no one wants, not a prob to me. I was just wondering if anyone wanted some because I prob will have the spare time.
If no one wants, I might try to do my friends 01.

how much would u charge if i send u all my 4 pieces (inculdes redlinemax red/clears) and do the LED mod on them?

What if instead of actually doing the led mod on the light, just make the pieces from perforated board with the LED's all wired and jsut sell that. The customers then can open their lights and just stick those straight in. I bet you can find people to buy those
#16
I think 300-400 bucks for lights is a good deal. Mine took a while, VERY time consuming and really back breaking. But now i kno what to do, so i bet my 2nd set (if i made one) wouldnt take me as long and would make less mistakes.

Good Idea.
So how much would you pay for these?

I'm just about finished with mine. Guys. For those of you who have not done this yourself, 200 is CHEAP. I found out very quickly that this is a VERY time consuming mod. You guys saying you'd pay 150 are crazy. You can't even get red/clears for much cheaper. Having done the mod myself, I'd say $400 is about par for the ammount of work requirred.

QUESTION: How did you secure boards on the housings? Screws or glue (if glue thne what kind, 'cause it's got to take at least 300 degrees of heat when you put tails back togather...)
...almost done with mine...

Glue from a hot glue gun. There is no room for screws, my boards are a nice tight fit so they didn't even move w/o the glue, but I have taken them apart about 5 times and the hot glue was not melted/dripping off.
#24
I am sorry, I did not really understand. You used glue gun or just glue that you refill gun with?
Where can such glue (gun) be purchased?... ummm, on second thought I'll ask around if they sell glue guns and glue to it...
Thanks!

Oh I see, thanks man, I'll ask.
Well back to the topic! How much one would be willing to pay just for the boards w/ leds & resistors all wired, all you would need to do would be to open your tails and install them there.
$? - for four pieces (parking & brakes)
$? - for eight peices (parking & brakes, blinkers & reverse)

I'd be more than willing to seriously pay for a set. I love the LED tails. I dont know about the rest of you but I really want a set. If I can get them in boards, thats fine, I dont mind.
