Default **VIDEO inside** Fully blacked out custom LED'd rear reflectors w/ DIY

I wanted to make an official "i've got LED's in my rear reflectors" so all of us with em could talk about challenges we faced, help newbs that are interested, and share pics/vids.
So below I linked the DIY along with other threads that talk about LED's in the rear reflectors.

Here is the DIY https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...eflectors.html

I take no credit for these reflectors as I bought them from uz07. All work should be credited to him. Only thing I did was install them after I had them painted professionally.

Video can be seen in 720pHD. I'd expand the video to take up your whole monitor.

To add to this... I'd like to add a sequential module to the rear reflectors and tie them to my turnsignals as well as brake lights.

In this vid below, ZLEDS shows his custom made sequential turn signals. I met him when I owned my 350z... I may send him an email to possibly work with him on a sequential box for these rear reflectors. I'd also like to add more LEDs to the reflectors on the inner parts of it. There is room for it.

Thank you again for all your help with these. Now that I have them and ended up replacing two LED's I feel confident I can make some sets of these. Especially with my new dremel w/ it's needle precision. To replace the two that went out I dremelled around the light just barely and popped off the LED. Then replaced with the spare you had sent & used JB weld over the butt of the light and walla. Good as new.

Also, I like your idea... You know the reason you sold me these to begin with... Can't wait for you to get an IS-F!

you should have used a hot glue gun instead of JB weld, remind you to slap you on the back of the head next time I see you.
