Ok, so iv'e had stock red lens with white led's, and i've had clear lens with red led's, both have advantages and disadvantages...

With the red lens, you dont see the board, just the light from it, but you still have that red lens. With the clear lens, you get a lot more light, but you can see the hideous green board plain as day!

So i dediced to remedy this! Take a look and tell me what you think :)

First i sprayed the housing black.....

So, what ya think???

Personally, i think this would be KILLER with those black housing led tails from 4Headlights...good match :)

Yeah John(FYX193) did this forever ago but kept his clear housing and just painted everything red inside. Looks sweet as hell. BTW I thought you were out of business?!? You back now?!?

not out of business, taking a break...

and i'm not posting this to sell it, just posting it to show it off :)

i'll be a vendor again once i get caught up with everything, until then, i'm taking a break to catch up

Wonder how that'd work sprayed white on a white. I recently put the clear 3rd brake light installed and it looks 100x better than the factory red. Now I just need some white tails or something.

Here's how I did my setup. Red LEDs with the clear housing and black board. Matches the tails. And the 3rd light has the directionals in it as well:woot:

lol.

I'm glad everyone likes what i've done.

JuniorMT, i'm assuming you wanted the red led board for use with a clear lens.

I have 1 left(i have 2, but the other is reserved for someone, pending them finding their stock housing so they can send me their clear housing) with red led's. pm me and well work something out

I may have to do a clear lens with white backing soon.

Might be back out in Pittsburgh around Thanksgiving.
