I get what you are saying, but it would involve lot's of technical goodies. (microchips, timers, and timed relays). Not sure it would be worth it.

LED tail lights and an HID upgrade... the averege person would have no idea how old a 93 SC is!

Very sweet OLT -- the price is amazing too. Clearcorners had a kit the advertised a while back for 10 times that, didn't they?

Can you show or describe what a design is limited to - as that would determine if it would affect the price? I am not a good designer and don't know where to start.........

I would be interested in upgrading the main brake light, regular light and of course the turn signal. I am guessing the first two would be the same leds and the turn light would obviously be a second set. Please confirm if the price changes.

Anyone willing to design me some tails?

Yeah man I know nothing of LED's so if someone could come up with a good looking design we could use it as more or less a universal design. I know I would want to do the brake the ruunning light and the turn signal also.

Well, I think I know what may next mod will be. Just last night I was driving behind a Caddy DTS and was thinking "man, I gotta get some lights like that, so quick, so bright.....I wonder how Brian is coming along with his R & D?" Well, as usual, I get on the forum and here it is. Thanks, Brian! I'll be working on a design and may be PM-ing you with some ideas soon.

Wow, that looks awesome, man! I can't wait to see how the finished product will look like. If only there was a way to redesign the taillights, and not just the light portion...

This parking light is the one that is on the end of that little plastic rod next to the low beam headlight right? If so I would love to get some kind of Hyper White bulb replacement. Also is there anything you could....or have built to replace the low/high beams. Would really like a long lasting Hyper White led replacement for all my front lights. The visibility at night is not really great for my taste and would be very interested if you could help me with this. If possible I would like these to use factory plugs/harnesses to reduce difficulty of installation.... I know your busy but I'm sure there is others that might be intersted in doing this and would gladly give an arm and a leg to get them (i know i would!!)
thanx

the small tube you are refering to is the City Light. I used two 10,000 mcd pure white led's there in each one, and it looked great. I could presolder and pack 4 of them for the city lights for $20 + 3.50 to ship to anyone interested. These LED's retail for $14 to $19 each.

Presolder meaning that I would only have to "Plug and Play" ? sounds good to me! I'll PM you about that in a few but is there anything you could do for the rest of the lights in the front? Also what is this parking light that Philly#1 Lex was talkin about?
Thanx

GOOD DEAL!
I paid $35 for a pair of PIAA LEDs for the city light, not to mention that each base only comes with 2 LEDs. Btw, does your setup look a bit blue when put into the housing?? The PIAAs are absolutely white when u see them directly, but when put into the light housing the light actually looks white/blue.
