...Please.

i wish i had the time to rig up LED kouki rear tail lamps.







its something different. on any other day I'd take the Chuki lights (95-97)

 

wow.... that would be some major downtime....

 

damnn that's hot.

 

No thank you. Every seen a Cadillac led tail lamp after about a year?

Here's a simulation.......

 

Looks like chicken pox

 

hahaha
i would kill for a set of those

 

If you burn them out just right you can spell "fail".

Tail lights are one of the highest voltage spike areas on the entire car. Led's don't last there for long. Cadillac found this out the hard way, as have many other manufacturers. they do look good, but considering the investment and time it takes to build and RE-build them... aye!

 

haha it def looks good but i see def see the problems he is talking about

 

you just crushed my hopes and dreams...


...and besides, that's Cadillac.

 

LMAO, I laughed so hard when I saw this.

 

lmao, i never knew that.. so because of the high voltage spike, led's burn out? a lot of cars use led tail lamps now, how are they coping with it then?

 

Most aren't even MB and Lexus (the two governing inventors of the LED tail) have both had lot's of failures. However they are also building with machine precise instruments and you can expect a higher failure rate in custom when it comes to these super masses of led's since they draw so much current instantly they actually pull a good amount of amperage through the solder points and end up failing more in the solder bridges than the leds sometimes. Mass produced units use pre-printed boards and the "dip it" method of soldering. A single Led uses nothing, but when you bulk them they exponential draw increases dramatically and they really get the heat cooking.

 

Yeah I agree with that for the most part. I would still do the light conversion over to LED just for the cool factor. If done correctly with soldering and all you have a decent amount of run time for the LEDs. I say suck it up if it goes out. Its a lot better then incandsent bulbs. Longer run time then conventional bulbs also. I say go for it if you know someone that is really good with sodering and have them do it for you.

 

nice, those look sick.

 

Yeah those are so hot. I had LED tails on my S14, and they never burned out thankfully. I'm hoping someone comes out with some for the SC, I'd buy em.
