Hay I was thinking about upgrading my tail lights to LED With the crome housing

but even on ebay at 1/2 off the lowest price I could find the stuff for was around 90$

so I got to thinking maybe I could just mod my original tail lights to look like these.

one thing that makes the new ones stick out was the crome housing.
so I was thinking I should just take mine apart and paint the inside crome.

and then just buy some cheap led bulbs of ebay something from here.

so anyway my questions related to this.

what is a good brand of leds I should get witch bulbs do you gues think I should get?

also is there an easy way to take the red part off of the backing of the tail light?

as far as I know these things don't come apart to easy?

and also I would like to know if anyone knows where I could buy the full square led bulbs only like the ones that come with the more expancive taillights?

I am hoping my idia works out an I have a nice led taillight upgrade with out spending $200+

im not sure if the housing comes apart naturly because all I have ever done with them is screw a light bulb in them.

This is what i did to my tail lights. Cut out the back of the housing and installed a 6" oval LED light. The picture doesn't do it justice. They are very bright, especially at night

Do you have any pics of the LEDs before install or the back of the tail light after the mod but before thr install? how about a link to the LED on eBay?[/B]

Can you post up a pic of the back of your housing? I've been wanting to do that mod, but trying to be more sure of how it all goes together before I butcher a perfect pair of tail lights

i dont have pics at the moment of the back. but i cut the back of the tail light so the light fit right in then i used the rubber gromment that came with the light to hold it in place. i had to trim it down tho. maybe ill pull one of them out tomorrow so you can see. i also made sure i had a spare set of tail lights in case lol but here is a link to a light similar to what i used. i bought mine at the local auto store

not a bad idea, I used a semi truck tail light on the back of my bike, it is LEd and bright as hell.
