Yes, lets be real. How many hamburgers does MacDonalds sell per day? This means nothing to me. I dont eat at restaurants that sell shit, I eat at places that sell food.

Its an open market, there are plenty of other products out there or if you have the skill, time and money you can build your own. Those who build lights understand how challenging it is and how time consuming it is.

Green Arrow · 08-02-2016, 01:11 PM

So less than 5?

I see the sense of entitlement is still strong here lol

If you're trying to make him feel small for not selling a crap ton of units you're wasting your time.

He's not mass producing cheap shit. Nor is he a factory in China.

tuzzio · 08-03-2016, 08:00 AM

More importantly than that, 5 sets = 10K. Doesn't sound bad to me.

You guys ever look into how time consuming building LED boards is? I was going to take a stab at it but you literally need to read about it for like a month before even attempting to do it. Its definitely not as easy as you'd think.

Would I pay 2K for tail lights? No. Does that make his service worth less money, take less time, and use less quality product? No.

silviaks2nr · 08-03-2016, 10:37 AM

I know that it takes to R&D, design, test, and build a setup like that. Quality LED work (not like that cheesy lite brite looking shit) is very tedious and precise so I applaud him for wanting to build and market those lights at his pricing.

dudermagee · 08-03-2016, 10:51 AM

Who cares.

Either pay top dollar for top shelf stuff, buy cheap shit, or build yourself.

I'm thinking about getting into this for fun and a little side money.

Anyone have good recommendations on where to start?

ixfxi · 08-03-2016, 08:35 PM

There are plenty of products out there that are significantly less expensive. Its your money, use it however you wish.

I am not saying that my products are the defacto, end-all of products. However, being in business for 16 years and being able to continue supporting my products makes me and my customers happy. Some people care about long-term, others do not. To each his own.

Besides, I dont understand why people get bent out of shape when you can just leave things stock. Last time I checked, stock tail lights work and are better than cheap ass aftermarket tail lights.

My slider, eat it.

Snapped this last night while driving, not the best pic. Retrofit done by silviaks2nr a couple of years ago.

Modded RX330 projectors
Retrofit source black lens
Morimoto HID's (4300K)

Low beam on with zenki fogs (oem style bulb)

DJTTon · 10-17-2016, 06:27 PM

WOW! I wish I could see that well in general

You should definitely have the purple/faded sections redone in black and do a candy red/clear on the red sections.

SupaDoopa · 11-03-2016, 11:29 AM

I wish I knew cool people that can do my tails.

DJTTon · 11-03-2016, 09:42 PM

@iHatemySilvia

I really like how that turned out too. One of my biggest dislikes with LED tail lights is how you can distinctly see each LED when theyre on and theyre bright ass hell. These are mellow and not too tacky

Thanks, it's the second set of tail lights I've done using 5mm LED big improvement from the first set .

I've also done these a more simpler , easier way to go with LED using 5050 SMD LED's

Someone should make me some chaser lights for my SC. That'd be rad.

silviaks2nr · 08-22-2017, 01:44 PM

Anybody still doing lights?

Man.... I wish there were some more posts on this thread. I love the look of custom head and tail lights done cleanly.

^ what projectors were used on those JDM kouki lights?

silviaks2nr · 08-24-2017, 08:45 AM

They are q5 replica v 4.0. Really the best 3" lens projector, beating out pretty much all OEM in distance intensity.
