Im trying to figure out what Kind of projectors were retrofitted into my Kouki Headlights...

I know they arent stock, but not sure what they are.... On a side note... I did play with some yellow Lamin-X

Hey guys, anyone know how to change the high and low beam positions on the stalk? (I used one from a 95 Bluebird when installing my kouki fogs, the fogs work as they should)

So, bluebird = pushed forward is low beams, pulled back is high beams. Whereas Silvia = pushed forward is high beams and pulled back is low beams. Anyone know how to switch them? Thanks guys

I was unaware this was now the post broken drift cars with broken lights that aren't even Nissans thread.

You really need to just do more than post random pictures in every damn thread.

This type of tail light the person used cheap Chinese led strips which dont have enough brightness and they dont last long and eventually burn out

Nightstylejapan · 09-19-2015, 05:18 PM

blksylv · 09-19-2015, 06:02 PM

I don't know the guy personally but Status Leds on fb seems to make a pretty decent product. These don't look like strip leds. Of course i wouldn't use strips either but here's another look.

Yep, these are all me. And they are all strips.

rat240 · 09-19-2015, 10:19 PM

They are though he stacked them together trust plus these are very dim for brake lights yess the when they are pictured they look bright but its the camera that makes them look bright

silviaks2nr · 09-20-2015, 05:19 PM

Yeah I would not trust those LED strips for a second. You need to retrofit the lights with LED modules from another vehicle with DOT approved lights (truck/trailer clearance lights at the LEAST) or better yet make your own PCBs with superflux red-orange LEDS.

Matej · 10-04-2015, 04:26 AM

The worst thing about LED taillights is when one of the LEDs is out/dimmer/slightly out of array. Then they look like a light-up scoreboard at a third rate sports team's home stadium.

Would you prefer a bulb where a large section stops illuminating?

Listen, there are pros and cons to everything. I am not disagreeing with you, but the pros with LED tech in many ways out weigh the cons.

No need for colored filters. No need for heavy gauge wiring due to less amperage draw. Longevity (if designed well).

I cant think of too many applications where I say "man, i wish i had my old bulbs"

The remark was in regards to ugly custom jobs where the LED's are too far apart and the array is all goofy or shaped like a heart.

However I'm not sure what I will have to do to ensure everything will work correctly? Any suggestions? I have Zenki bulb pigtails already as well.
