i have a 97 y33 q45. i need help with full led tails. read inside!

ok. so. theres this complete q45 at a local junkyard that i am completely raping of all its goodies =)

a hint of the goodies is a full set of red/clear tails that will cost me no more than 40.00... :biggthumpup:

these will be spares that im willing to seperate the lenses and send the housing out to someone who knows what they are doing to retrofit them with LED panels. i want them to have full LED boards inside.

i dont really want to send these out to some high price internet company, just looking to see if someone on this board has done this before,knows what they are doing,is trustworthy, and willing to make some money on the side.

if anyone is up for this job or knows someone whos willing to help me out, let me know by calling or texting. keep in mind time zones... im in florida. 561-346-6602.

a good example of what i want can be found on G-fines lime green y33 cima. or brokey33 car. thanks again,

Yea are you going to simply clean? I can bring it with me.

As far as modding the tail lights, I'm going to do them myself. I'll be posting pics of progress hopefully be able to start this month.

Yea, building led tails isn't hard... just time consuming. It's honestly pretty fun imo. Just take your time and you'll be happy with the result.

Here's my thread, this was my first attempt at build any sort of led circuits, I think I might do another set down the road, as I have some new ideas after this one.. Read the link I posted in the first post, gives a lot of insight on how to do it!

Goodluck! Looking forward to seeing pics!!
