My question is would you be able to see the LED's through the lense on our lights or would you have to make a transparent red one as stated before?

Jordan,

I am electronically naive, so excuse my ignorance in the following question.

If we sent our tails to you to be customized, say 2 rows of LEDS in the upper half of the G2 coupe tails and 2 rows of LEDS in the lower half of the G2 coupe tails,would the finished product that you send back be plug and play?

Would we need any additional wiring or harness? Is there any risk of burning up stock taillamp harnesses?

Thanks in advance.

-Eric

PS. Also, could you remove the reflectors from our taillights?

Hi guys and gals, below are a few of your questions answered. If you have other questions feel free to post them and we will get to them ASAP. We also would like to thank everyone for the ideas and interest.
Q. Would the finished product that you send back be plug and play?
A. Yes we can make the finished product plug and play.

Q. Would we need any additional wiring or harness?
A. There may be. It would depend one what type of circuitry you would like.

Q. Is there any risk of burning up stock tail lamp harnesses?
A. No one of the biggest advantages to LED it that use vary little power, for instance one 1157 bulb as a stop light uses 1.75 amps. Most L.E.Ds uses .002 amps per LED so you do the math.

Q. Could you remove the reflectors from our taillights?
A. On some tails we can. We have not done made a set of tails from any Acura vehicles.

Q. Can we get a mock-up of what the tails would look like?
A. We would love to have some one send in a set of spare tail lights if possible. If know one want to donate a set of tails, than we will give the first person a nice discount on there set of LED tails.

Q. Would you are able to see the LED's through the lenses on our lights or would you have to make a transparent red one as stated before?
A. Are you asking weather you can use the clear tails or do the tails have to be a transparent red???

BTW. We have two people from the 3SI forums so two people from here or any other forum were group buy is posted will receive 10% off when you sign up.
If any one has any questions feel free to contact us.

Thanks Jordan @ LNC

Hey,

I have a donor set of G2 (1991-1995) coupe tails. I will e-mail you this week-end for more info. Hopefully, with a nice demo of what the LED tails would look like, we can get this forum motivated for this GB.

I can send in a set of G2 sedan tails indefinately, for the discount. The lenses are already seperated.

Here are a few LED video clips.

There is a GB from Late Night Custom going on the 3000GT forums on a custom LED tail light conversion. It is custom so you can get them however you want, but the price will vary on your options. If you guys want in , let me know... and we will do a combined GB from both forums.

What about reverse lights???? I wouldn't call it a full LED conversion if the reverse lights are incandecent.

 

[1_Hot_Legend_LS]

I'll find pics. Are they plug and play? If not, what has to be done to get them to work.

-Eric

Probably the only thing you will need to do is install a load risistor across the turn signal leads so the signals flash at thier normal rate.

 

[1_Hot_Legend_LS]

Those who want in, just copy/paste the list and add your name.

How is this for an idea.

G2 Coupe Passenger Side Rear Lamp:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x-------Turn-Signal-(Red-or-(Yellow)-Optional "LEGEND"--xx
x----sequence-->-->-->->-->-->---in bright sequence---xx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x------Reverse----x-----------Brake Light (Red)---------xx
x---Full Bright LED x-------------Full Bright LED----------xx
x------White------x--------Optional "LEGEND" in bright---xx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Later!

[1_Hot_Legend_LS]

Lee, I believe the reverse light is on the top next to the turn.

Latenightcustom, One thing you might want to look at is that our turn signal flashers have a bulb out flash pattern. Will a 6 Ohm 50w resistor be wired into each turn signal or will we have to add them????

Here is an alternative to what is being discussed in this thread. This is intended for reference and not as "flaming."

The prices:

LED lights in bulk - $5
PCB software - Free
Getting PCB Made by company - $15
Soldering - 1 hour
Beer- $5

Alot easier than you might think, and alot cheaper.

 

[frantinez63]

Arnach,

Please see my reply in the other thread. I respect you and all man, but this thread is in the GB section and NOT for flaming.

It is only for potentially interested parties to ask questions and express interest.

Instead of flaming, spend your time making your own LED tails or doing whatever you please to your Legend.

A. We can easily add a load resistor if you would like one.

A. That should look awesome!

Q. What about reverse lights???? I wouldn't call it a full LED conversion if the reverse lights are incandescent.
A. The tail lights will be apart so we can install a revere lights.
Thanks Jordan @ LNC

If making LED tail lights was that easy and cheap APC would make them for every car!

arnach isn't flaming anyone. he's informing the forum as a whole to make sure people don't get ripped off.

Do it in another thread. Last warning- no joke. This means you, anarch, or anyone else.

Lee, I believe the reverse light is on the top next to the turn.

It very well could be. I was going to hunt down a pic of the tail lights and type on that what I was trying to show. My diagram still gets the point across. My main idea was using LEGEND instead of the Acura symbol. I think that would look really cool in brighter leds in your turn signals surrounded by dimmer leds. It would sequence across and spell out LEGEND. I dunno how the driver side would be handled, but it just came into my head last night.

I was thinking about doing the brake lights with Acura on the left and Legend on the right for the bright LEDs and just straight rows for the parking lights. Also sequencing arrows for the turn signals with built in 6 Ohm 50w load resistors so the flasher does pull it's bulb out fast flash routine.

 

[1_Hot_Legend_LS]

Ok, here is basically what I want using all super flux. This is also the layout of the tails on the 91-95 Legend Sedans.

Oh, you also need 1 load resistor for the turns and 2 for the brake (each side)!

Me likey^^^^ That's what I want too, except for one difference:
the sequential turns.
Instead of arrows I would want blocks. I would have them to start inboard kind of narrow then get wider as they scroll across the light then maxing out at midway across the light (up to 4-6 columns wide) then narrow again (5-4-3-2-1 columns) when it reaches the end.

Also I would want full lens brake for the top AND bottom sections similar to stock.

(LNC) Jordan, can you do that?

:werdS...

Let me know when you are ready for the sedan lights.. as I stated before I can ship them to you for R&D in exchange for a better LED discount. You can keep them as long as you need, just send me your address. The lenses are already seperated and they do have a small crack where I pulled them apart.

That also reminds me.... are you interested/ able in making a clear lense for the Legend tails? I'm sure everyone will agree, that is an extremely high demand item here and (almost) nobody makes them. Those LED's with a black or chrome molded background would look so awesome behind a non-fluted crystal clear smoked lense. :2cool:
