Custom LED tail lights UCF10 LS400
I had a buddy of mine do these custom led's in my tail lights, since they don't sell any for the first gen LS400.
They have about 900 LED's in them.

NICE how much did it cost? did he have to take entire tail apart to get it done?

Sweet! I don't get the filler piece over the inner tails... Why mimick an early 90's BMW 7/5 series?

Yes, they had to be fully opened up to get the panels in there.
Also, I like the Junction Produce eyelids. They've grown on me and without them, the car looks funny.

Oh ya! I'll get you guys a accurate price. Since I was the first ucf10 tail lights he did. He hooked me up big on them.

Also, it's $650 to get it done. That's for brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights.

I got the ones for the ucf2x and must say yours are 10x better then mine. Love how the led wraps around the corner of the tail.

looks good but it looks like he used standard round-nosed diodes, which work but are kind of out of date. any further back pics? say the distance of another car following you.
If someone could do a full SMD style setup I'd be all over it. as it sits i'll wait until one day coughing up the $800+ for the Japanese set i want ...

Worth every penny. He did really good work. Like the blacked out emblem.

Wow, That looks amazing! I'd like to see some pictures of how it all came together. He did a very good job, i might try my hand at doing this sometime down the road as the LED tails always caught my eye. Its nice to see it done though!
