Bippu Garage LED Tails
I was browsing through Bippu Garage's great site. I came across the "LED Taillight" section and noticed that they do custom work on the SCs tailights. Now, my question is..Has anyone sent in their 97 tails for some work? Im very curious to see how they look. I want to get some fresh new 97 Tails and might want to get this done if it looks good. Here are a pair of 95-96 tails they've done..

those look like 95-96 Tails, and they look great.
After my former tail surgery, I am definitely considering stepping it up a notch, teaching myself the necessary wiring skills, and making the LED's more prominant to look something like what you have posted.

The problem is that these were not designed for led's so they do not radiate properly. They just fire light straight backwards and do not disperse it evenly. OEM led tails in newer vehicles have mirrored spreaders inside that radiate the light 360 degrees properly.
That was one of the reasons I never built the LED tails any further than one set. They are dangerous because they only focus light in one area. If you are just 20 steps to the right of the tail light you can hardly tell they are on at night aside of the glow on the glass itself rather than the usual burst of light coming out in all directions, in the daytime unless you are directly behind them the car near you, possibly in the lane right next to you getting ready to change lanes behind you, they will never see you hit your brakes. Even a small change in the actual pitch of the car will point them up or down and take the light away from your focus point and you'll never see them hit the brakes in the daytime.

Do you thnk if you used superflux leds it would radiate good?
