LED Tail Light Build
#21
I do like epoxy, just none on hand right now.
I don't think I'll ever want to do this again too tedious!

Thanks!
Keeping it coming today..
I made this plastic insert and covered it in black vinly to complete the blacked out look as well as helping hold everything together. I have everything glued in right now so there is no going back! I have no idea what I would do if a LED burned out I can't think of a better way to hold it all in there besides a whole bunch of glue!
This one is about done. If I have time tomorrow I'll seal it up and put it on the car and see how it looks

Thanks everyone.
A little update here. I took the light out to my car today in the freezing weather to try and hook it up for a test. I'm having a little problems with the brake light function and some circuitry problem. This circuit stuff can get confusing! Hopefully I can sort that out, but here are some pics for now.
LED left, stock right. You can tell how much of a difference adding that black vinyl to the insides helped darken it. It almost looks tinted
LED light. Wires and circuits will get tucked eventually. Just for testing now.
Stock.
Marker lights.
Brake lights.
Camera really blurs the lights to hell. Looks much better in person
Waiting on some more parts to start the second light. Might break into it yet today though. I would really like to finish these before next weekend and before I go back to school.
