^ You guys realize that there are actually companies that exist, that spend the time, money and resources to engineer a product specifically for our application?

DOT compliant, as marked on the lenses. Ugly looking, though...

Seriously, I start to wonder if you guys even think about these things. Come on Matej... get it together, baby.

Do not have 7x5" headlights anymore, just a car that happens to use H4 bulbs as well.
No LED bulbs for me then, until LED projectors become more available for retrofitting.

I think they're all fucking butt ugly. And on top of that, the price is fucking silly.

People talk about how long the LED last, so its a worth-while investment. What about the construction of the light? Its fucking plastic, which means the lenses are easily damaged from road debris AND UV exposure.

Maybe I'm just too old school, but if you ask me its no fucking comparison. I'd toss a few bucks towards a Hella or Cibie e-code and call it a day. Glass and metal construction, the end.

So cool!!!

silviaks2nr · 07-17-2015, 03:31 PM

Let's get this going again!

LED 3rd brake light conversion with factory red diffused lens. Lettering shaved and restored to a high sheen. The light uses an OEM tbl superflex LED module with an inner jewel lens that focuses the LEDs before they are diffused through the OEM red lens. This is how the optics were designed for the original light as well. The nice thing is it's plug and play and just uses taillight sealant to seal it to the body. Excuse the remains of the factory foam seal in the photos!

Thanks to icedsole for the pics!

That is so clean looking!

That giant light bar on the inside of the glass is not going to help. Assuming it isn't there just for looks, when its dark he will turn it on and the light will hit the window and blind the driver, not to mention anyone in front of the car with it being right at rearview mirror level.

Clean car, yes. Full of good ideas, no.
