Have my LED tail lights installed a couple of weeks ago and mechanic & few other people have said they think they are too bright.

Does any one that has them think the same/ and can you tinker with them to be less bright? :(

The brand was Mars & i purchased from Ebay...

Just wanting others thoughts in relation to cops pulling me over for them...

C if i can post some pics soon...

Hi mate, if and foremost, they're LED - they should be more intensive and brighter. You can try another set besides that I don't think there is any other ways of making it dimmer. It's bulb LED dependent, I would have thought.

tell them if it's too bright you're too old

my old MY06 350z had led taillights & brakelamp from factory & they're definitely bright, if cops are gonna pull you over it'll be more for your car rather than the actual tail lamps imo

Thats what I was thinking. Add some resistance to dull the lights down. Do you have a picture of it?

I would have thought if the lights are too bright they would look like brake lights, and I can understand why cops wouldnt like it.

Thanks all for your responses...

Pics attached. only took them in the garage tho. Hmm really should have turned the flash off :(

Nightshadez?

Haven't been followed by cops yet so dont know what they 'think is right' but thought i'd just get some feed back in case they have a winge..

Check that the lights r wired up correctly. I just double checked mine, and turns out the parkers and the brakes were crossed over (the brake is much brighter than the parkers). Might be that you have them crossed over...

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
