any chance you can set them up like the nismo gt leds instead of just circle ?

Anything is possible :( But no, the cost would balloon out if I start getting additions made to the current design. As it would require more template cutting and hand soldering by the manufacturer.

oh wow looking good dan!

are these tail light going to come with the whole housing or we have to take it apart and fit the new stuff in the original housing?

cant wait!

Unfortunately not with the housing, unless I can start picking them up cheaply. Just waiting on some quotes for some laser cut mounts, but the DIY should be fairly stress free. Taking the lenses out just involves putting them in the oven at 80c and then popping them out quickly with a screwdriver.

OK here are some pictures, I apologise for the random angle they’re taken from (I don’t have a tripod) some are with my Pentax, the others with the phone. The phone produces the deeper red which is truer to the actual colour. Either way they look really good in person :)

How much are we looking at at the moment? :P

OK this is still highly dependant on the DIY-ness of the kit. As it currently is, it's not do-able as the supplied PCB's for the LEDs were too fragile. A good day of driving managed to crack a rail supply power to the LEDs so not happy jan.

I've just sent them the diagrams for the new boards to be remade (which are as tough as old boots)

Still hoping for ~$300 a kit, closer to $500 if I supply the tail lights as well. Somewhere in the middle is if I do the install for you.

Too easy mate, the new boards will arrive with me on the 25th June and be ready to go :D

Already had lots of comments from people out and about (I've explained the current 'broken' LEDs haha) they like the look with a more continuous ring.

My only comment based on the latest set of pics is that the inner ring looks 'fuller' than the outer ring, and whether a double-ring in the outer set would fix this up. A bit late now obviously though :)

Yeah the pictures don't do it justice, I wish I could be driving behind my car all the time, at night it's mesmorizing :rofl:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
