Second set of modified 350z l.e.d. tail lights
This is the second set of 350z tail lights I have done. This set is still in the first stages of modification but it gives you an idea of whats to come. They will have wide beam bright white l.e.d. reverse lights and turn signals built into the tail light housing. The upper and lower reflectors will be smoked and the rest of the internals will be painted satin black and have real carbon fiber accents. The upper and lower reflectors have custom l.e.d. work done to them also. More pics to come. In the meantime check out my first set if you have not already.
Thanks for looking.......
Update:LED turn signals
Just got the turn signals done and smoked the lower reflector this afternoon.
Here are a few pics and a video of them in action...If you have any questions you can contact me at FoetwentyDesigns@gmail.com

Yes these are going to be blacked out (smoked upper and lower reflectors and running/brake light area painted black) the pics here are of the first stages of the modification. I will also be adding the carbon to the lower reflector no carbon on upper reflectors this time as there are LEDS in that location now. The reflectors have not been smoked yet in the pics and the running/brake light section in between the upper and lower reflector has been removed for paint. I am currently in the process of installing the turn signal LEDs along the bottom and up the side of the lower reflector. Once this is done I will post more pics.

Yes they will look like the first set when not active. The only thing I am not doing to this set is putting the carbon on the upper reflector. I replaced that carbon with LEDs. All of the internals will be painted and smoked black. I am also throwing around the idea of adding brake LEDs to the upper reflector. Will have to test and see if tapping into the brake signal will effect the cruise control or not. I have heard on here that members were having trouble with the cruise and idle of there Z after installing some aftermarket LED tails. Not sure if this is a problem that pertains to 03-05 Z because they did not have LED tails to begin with. I will have to do a little more research on this and see what I can find out.
