you know, i think i've seen LED taillights for our cars before. i remember seeing pictures of them here on the forums. JDM LED tails, looked a little too much in my opinion, but everyone to their own.

OP -- Any updates on this project? It appears there are more actions over the SC forum on this subject than here.

there are JDM LED taillights avaiable for the JZS147 platform. although for the center garnish, and two outter sections, your looking upwards of 700 for the parts, before shipping from Japan, and all the broker fees, so upwards of $900 or more. but they are out there

Yeah...Crazy anxious to hear/see any progress that you've made on these. I know that you need to come up with the prototype first, but you got a list of 25+ 1st-Gen-GS'ers who are on the bandwagon on this one!! Don't forget about us (Since it seems as though there are very few manufacturers that have aftermarket parts for our vehicles). Is the ETA for these mid to late Nov.? Assume right now were in the 'mid' part of that equation and would like to know how much farther away we are!!

Deknick - you have any pics of what those taillight LED's look like?

thanks shaun, you beat me to it.

i've seen them on yahoo japan, for around 70,000 YEN, plus shipping within japan, plus broker fees (since you have to live in japan to buy off yahoo japan), then shipping outside japan, then shipping to you after that. so your looking closer to 1000 USD for those tail lights


alright, so i've found them on yahoo japan actually,

the price listed here is the price beforeany markup/profit from the company that imports them for you, then ships them to you wherever you live.

the price listed here is 1100 AUD, so around 1000USD
