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 :)

I wish I can see em in real life, as I too realised photos wouldn't show how good they look in person :)

HOLY CRAP first you hook me up with some awesome dash lights, now your trying to do a LED Tail Light Kit, very impressed and very interested in a set for a 4door sedan :D, keep up the great work and hopefully it all falls into place.

wont be able to do any others for about 3 weeks (holidays, racing etc)

They need to be installed into your factory housings so if you are happy to be without taillights for a week (1-2 days fitting and return postage) im happy to do them for $500 including return postage.. If you need your taillights because its a daily im looking at buying a spare set and doing it on an exchange basis for the same price (but a $100 retainer that will be refunded when your lights reach me to ward off people trying to keep both)

If you are interested say so here or PM me and ill start up a group buy.

Here are some more build pics

underbody coat to protect wiring and joins from the elements and corrosion etc, plus it looks nicer.

I have had another person ask for indicators, it wouldnt be too hard at all. they would obviously cost a little more and take longer as I wouldnt release it until i was sure that it worked flawlessly..

as a side note, took the car down to canberra and they were perfect all the time, even survived a -4degree night covered in ice

does the black backing make the lights look 'tinted' when they're not on? have you pulled apart a Nismo set? do they mount on black backing? i've got the Qest ones, they look great and are made very nicely but back is too light, i want the OEM look like Nismo.

I take it these are brighter than Nismo?

Depending on how close the discs are mounted, you don't really notice anything, the better option is to spray them RED, or Silver and they are seemless, our old kits used a fairly heavy silk-screened and soldered board, but the larger one had to be mounted further back to avoid uneveness in the LED ring (you'll notice some kits go blurry for about 25% of the ring where they're not parallell to the red lens)

Hey Daniel I just went outside and took a photo so you can see for yourself, I dont think they do and look as per factory minus being able to see the LED's which is exactly the same as genuine nismos as I was lucky enough to have a friend with a set that let me get nice and close to look at it all but didnt pull it apart as we were far from home.

I will try and mount the boards further back for some people if they prefer to hide the LED's a bit as my set are basically a test set till I buy another set of lights to 'experiment' on

here you go

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
