Default LED tails?

I envy G35c owners for having awesome LED tail lights. I have LEDs on my FX45 and LOOOOOOOOOOVE them.

I've seen shitty hacks of stock rear lights to LED conversions. As stated, though, they're shitty.

Anyone know of aftermarket, tastefully done LED tails?

Does anyone work for or own a plastic manufacturing company? Perhaps with enough people interested we could do a group buy?

HOT!! I just found that link on the web, and was going to post it as a response to myself.

Nice work on the lights, cool products, but the prices.. Ouch.

Thanks.

Anyone that has $715 to blow on tail lights is rich.

I wish eurostar would make some 350Z led tails; they make ones for the gti, e36, and civic that cost only $249.

That tail upgrade is really nice, and I plan on getting it done. However, from the pictures it doesn't have the same "awe" effect as the rear G35c lights.

Yea, I don't see how it could possibly be that expensive.

Well, I've known of clearcorners.com for at least a year, and I have yet to see anything close.

I'm just amazed at the costs. I know there is a lot of labor involved but some of them boggle me (such as the dome lights.)

Now, if the LED's were programmed to scroll text like the stock quotes or catch phrases, I'd understand the price...

If there is enough of a market someone will do it.

Hmmm.. Maybe I should start a new company. I'd just need someone in plastics to fabricate what I engineer.

I don't see how the dome lights can cost $315 when the entire taillight mod costs $715.
