Great video. What a ton of work. Results look great, very unique. I've never met a car guy that wants to build a car identical to someone else's. (Excluding movie prop cars.) That butyl tape is interesting stuff. Mahalo for sharing! : )
You should fix your reverse lights they are tinted red and that's not legal and will probably confuse people. The turn signals being red is ok but not ideal
Just a heads up for anyone wanting to do this, you gotta have white reverse lights. Other than that, great build and the final result looks great. Though id definately go with the second revision you mention in the video. I personally prefer seperate amber turn signals. The combo turn and brake lights add ambiguity to the system. Not to mention in europe you have to have amber turn signals anyway
If you're in Europe, don't even think about it. It's not checked whether your lights fulfill the requirements but whether they are approved for this kind of car which can cost tens of thousands of dollars
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR! There's so many videos out there that talk about making custom taillights, but none of them ever outline the entire process start to finish. They're always either using premade parts, or only talk about the tech or removing/installing the lens. Truly incredible work, and I applaud you for showing and reflecting upon your mistakes. Keep it up!
I really like this. Personally I would've used less leds for regular tail lights and then used more for the brake portion. That way it's easier for cars behind you to know when you're braking. Too small of a brake light can be really hard to notice.
you can add resistors to "dull" the driving lights and with a diode can even use the same string of leds for both brake and driving creating a "high /low intensity" setting
This is incredible man. I LOVE seeing passionate people make what they want in their own shops. This is going in my playlist for when I finally get the guts to do it myself lol
Amazing! I've been mulling over how to make custom taillights for my '89 Celica and this just popped up in my feed! Great video, nice that you didn't shy away from showing the jank.
this really is one of those "trust the method" sort of things hey? it would be so intimidating when youre half way through one, and then knowing you need to make the other one match. Really impressive. Looks sweet!
For someone who's planning on doing a custom job on my own car, this has definitely been an informative video regarding the process and things to keep in mind. Mine will however be much more complex, but that's exactly why something like this helps a lot. Thank you
@@sean640 almost there. Decided to go with 3D printing instead as my other options just didn't accommodate my requirements and the design style I'm going for. Just ordered my 3D printer the other day, plus I also already got the LEDs I'll be testing to accommodate the changes, so the prototyping continues. Also worked on the code for the Arduino / ESP32 that'll add customization for "show mode", so I'm excited to report that progress is being made. I'll outsource the lazer cutting of acrylic sheets to a contact of mine once I've got the majority of the design done. Once the rear is done I'll rework the front as I went with 7" jeep lights and a single debadged grille for my Mk1 golf in the meantime
I very rarely comment on videos but this was too impressive not to. Been delving into automotive DIY over the past 10ish years (wiring, LEDs, etc) and always dreamt of being able to do this. Having unique taste and being hardheaded is a deadly combo but often leads to incredible results. Awesome job dude and thank you!
Fellow automotive TH-camr here and I must say, your video is awesome. Great quality, great shots, great editing, and great commentary. Keep up the great work and wishing you the best with your channel. 😎🤙🏼
Tip for spreading sealant into tight/close areas is to use acid brushes and trimming the bristles by about half to increase the precision where it goes. Excellent video!
I was enjoying the video from the beginning, then you brought out that amazing oven and won me over lmao. Love it! Beautiful results, btw! Car looks gorgeous
They look great man! Good on you. Most people (including myself) don't have the courage to do this sort of thing. You have no just a custom part but a completley personal and hand made one. Only you have it and you'll have people asking you where you got them from and will feel amazing to say "Made them myself they're one offs" Keep it up!
I'm amazed how good that replacement lens came out for what is effectively half of a DIY vacuformer. Really cool to see how clean you can do with determination.
I used that oven trick to replace the lens on my car's headlights. I messed up when restoring them, and decided to just buy some aftermarket replacements. They were so cheap that I couldn't align them correctly. (The beam was too high) So I just swapped the new clear lens onto the original headlight assembly. Works perfectly, and the headlights looked brand new :D
The whole way through the video, I was saying out loud what I thought you should do for the next step, and then you did. Lol. I think I WAY underestimate my ability to take on more projects outside of what I normally tackle! Really awesome job. Earned a sub for sure. My brother would get a kick out of this, too.
Worked out better than I expected, this is something I’ve wanted to try for ages. There are ways you can get white and orange to show through a red lens, lots of modern cars pull this off, I believe there’s a colour filter over the LEDs to cancel out the red. Good work 👍👍
@@IMEEMADE yeee you can make white thats how rgb works you have red soo tou need to find out what exacly color do you need to make it white , rgb works like this 3 main colours that make white when they combine you can just wire blue and green bec you have red already i mean by that red plastic from stops idk if gonna work this eay bec stop red is not a lighting soo maybe not gonna work but try anyway
I mean amber lights for blinkers/turns is cool, but not mandatory on older models, whites for reverse is. If he ever gets stopped by someone who knows his car can be deemed street ilegal.
This is amazing, impressive work! I do wish my CR-Z had that diffused LED look rather than the exposed LED style, but it is a product of the early 2010s.
Being an auto sparky and a nut for my own car; this video really helps outline a lot of the steps needed to make well, custom LED light houses. I did notice there was still a significant amount of bleed but hey, it's a first time and it looks absolutely SICK, if not heavily illegal forn australian standards. Definitely book marked though and honestly thanks for uploading my man, a real saint.
Just got to the end of the video and the first thing that came to my mind happened to be "I wonder how much jail time this gets you in the UK" our Gov doesn't mess around with stuff like this "Because it's not to standard and could blind other road users" and yet every other brand new car off the dealers forecourt comes with headlights that blind everyone on dipped beam, makes sense hey hahaha
I really like how you showed how its like to do a diy project. Nothing goes like you planned, you just gotta compromise and adapt your diy project to the circumstances you are forced with
Great video, surprised you didn't try dynamic indicators or stuff like that as well. Red for reverse just seems like a really bad idea safety wise though
Your content is so chill and at the same time hilarious and I see you are a fellow ender 3 pro owner so that earned you a sub And you are absolutely right about self-doubt with DIY projects I'm currently working on a 3D printed F1 car scale model and I had lots of self doubt about how good it will look but Never Give Up
Black acrylic could also work, giving that same dark taillight look whilst retaining the colours of the LEDs beneath it, although do note that the LEDs have to be significantly brighter in that case.
Very, very cool. Thank you so much for sharing this project! As a person who owns a car with pretty much zero aftermarket parts available to buy, DIY seems to be the only option. Hopefully over the coming months I’ll have done enough research and be confident enough to give it a shot.
Great video! I love how approachable this is for mild DIYers such as myself (I’m always in the lookout for me to get into more extreme projects). Out of curiosity do you think you might modify your new LEDs to use clear reverse lights? I’m curious how one would go about that if yes. Also the old housings are pretty reflective when not lit up, is there a good way to add reflective material (let’s say between the LED strips) for safety like when the car is parked?
I really like your process. I think a couple of improvements could be made in how this was done though: 1) When forming your lens, perhaps building a vacuum former would be ideal. I've seen some made that use melamine boards, pegboard, a shopvac and silicone to achieve. Then you could get a much closer fit. It could even be worthwhile to consider making a negative template from your original lens for your new lens material so that you get an exact duplicate rather than a slightly oversized one. 2) Instead of using foil tape to secure your light separators, maybe make some posts, secured with epoxy or CA glue for those channels to attach to (via a hole and nut, or some other fastener). This, I think, would be more secure to temperature changes, whereas foil tape, I don't know how well it does. It could be an ideal tape, I'm admittedly ignorant about this product. So this suggestion I assign with an asterisk. 3) The separators don't have as straight of a line as I would like to see personally, so perhaps some c-channel aluminum or even PVC pipe split down the middle? I think this could provide much more uniform and straight lines. Again, I love your process. Very creative and it shall be stored in my brain for potential future projects.
I was about to buy new tail lights for my trailer because the plastic lenses are broken and it's cheaper to buy new led tail lights than it is to buy replacement lenses. I have plenty of clear acrylic pieces and it never occurred to me to heat and shape them until I saw your video. I'm sure I can find an easy enough way to colour them. Thanks for shining a light on a free fix using materials I already have!
Modifications like this are hit and miss. With that being said, I love this kind of mod. Creative, unique and fun to do. Good job on both the lights and the video. Very impressive.
true!. i thinkn he could have done better with the design itself, but this dude's trials here are so inspiring. I'm def not as afraid to go into a project like this on my own thanks to him!
Always been pretty fascinated by custom tail lights. I have a pair of custom tail lights for my truck, but I bought them pre-made. They look pretty good, but there's nothing better than custom making stuff to be exactly as you want it. Next car I get, I'm gonna be doing something like this.
Subscribed instantly when I saw the riff raff meme. Much love. This is amazing content and subject. Awesome job and video. Can’t wait to see what else you do
This was an excellent vid brother, mainly because you removed ALL mystery and doubt that we can make our own tail lights using current gen LED tech. THanks🙏🏽❤
Bro, this is some of the most brilliant and creative crafting ive seen in a long time! I would have never even thought of doing something like this. Well fucking done my man!
Glad I stumbled upon this video. The 2022 Civic hatchback is a pretty sharp car, but everyone is doing super fancy custom work for the Sedan. Now I know the rough process to make my own one-of-a-kind lighting fixtures for my car.
Been thinking of fabbing lenses just like you did. Will give it a try. I'm in UK, with annual road worthiness tests being compulsory. So of course having 2 set of lights is necessary, 1 stock & 1 modded. Then fitting stock lights for the testing station.
A vacuum port on the bottom side of the oven would allow you to easily form the plastic to the new tails. I haven’t made one yet but your video has definitely given me a lot of ideas and inspiration. Thank you and wonderful job!!
This is really Brilliant and Creative Idea my guy!! I don't need to keep searching any expensive rare headlight for the car(albino headlight) anymore! thanks BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉👍
That was a great vid! Great job too! That's a bit different way to diy lights I haven't seen yet. Very cool and gives me some different ideas I can do by incorporating some of your techniques. Thanks!
YOOOOOO! ive been thinking of doing this on my scooter! nowadays, you have these Piaggio Vespa's that get custom designed lights with cool leds, but my old gal gets left behind! this video is a god send
Personally, I would’ve left the lights original. That said, what you did was very, very clever! I’m extremely impressed with the way you did the mod and your video skills, too.
The end result kinda surprised me to be honest. They turned out pretty clean. Honestly thought they were gonna look janky that middle of the mall bullshit 🤣🤣🤣 but turned out DOPE! Good work too! You did everything yourself! Look good, one of kind, and you got the practice and technique down for future builds. Awesome video bro!
Manufacturers should just make tail lights replacements like these for late 90's and 2000's cars, it would bring a lot of them back into life and make their designs stand out more. Very good job, I loved the end result, and would for sure try to build one if I had half the equipment.
This was really cool and I respect the cojones to crack open a rare taillight and get to cutting on it based on a fuzzy idea in your head. It came out great! Good point on the red lens. I think there are a lot of really cool design possibilities using the basics of what you’ve shown here. I am thinking of doing this for my old bugeye Subaru hatch taillights thanks to this video. Going to start with some sketches and then come up with some red neck engineering to make it all happen based on some of what I learned. Liked and Subscribed!

Ive always considered amber LEDs for rear turn signal to be superior and wish cars in America would do this more instead of red turn signals
I don't think there are many at all with red turn signals. The only ones that come to mind are cars with sequential turn signals like a Ford Mustang.
@@Mookaton No, there definitely are.
tons of cars have red glass over it all causing it to be just be red.@@Mookaton
@Mookaton Red turn lights are incredibly common in the US. Majority of anything truck runs red only at the rear.
And to think I was about to drop $700 for some custom led tail lights. This is just what I was looking for!!!
Right on! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions during the build. I'd love to see the finished product!
Did you do it ? If so How much did it cost you ?

I'm in UK, with annual road worthiness tests being compulsory. So of course having 2 set of lights is necessary, 1 stock & 1 modded. Then fitting stock lights for the testing station.
Nice, good luck! please tag so we can see your results!
Such a clean build, and very well captured in the video. Great job! The end product looks absolutely beautiful🚥
Thank you 🙏
A vacuum port on the bottom side of the oven would allow you to easily form the plastic to the new tails. I haven’t made one yet but your video has definitely given me a lot of ideas and inspiration. Thank you and wonderful job!!
Dude this is awesome! You’re an artist. I hope your channel blows up
This is really Brilliant and Creative Idea my guy!! I don't need to keep searching any expensive rare headlight for the car(albino headlight) anymore! thanks BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉👍
Thanks for watching!
Two things I was not expecting while watching this video:
1) a Riff Raff reference.
2) the word dingle berry.
Great video, super cool project!
Expect the unexpected! Thanks for watching!
Technical and humorous!! Excellent content!!
Thank you’
This looks amazing dude
Making your own tail lights ? That's sick man
Thanks!
That’s pretty sick dude! Great work
Thanks man
That was a great vid! Great job too! That's a bit different way to diy lights I haven't seen yet. Very cool and gives me some different ideas I can do by incorporating some of your techniques. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Never heard or seen that kind of honda but it looks 100% better with your tail lights
Thanks!
YOOOOOO! ive been thinking of doing this on my scooter! nowadays, you have these Piaggio Vespa's that get custom designed lights with cool leds, but my old gal gets left behind! this video is a god send
Fun! Would love to see that!
That's awesome, always wanted to upgrade my K1200S light to look modern. Legendary DIY!
Thanks!
Definitely going to the junk yard to get some spare taillights for my mk4 gti and trying this. Thanks man!
those tail lights look professionally done. Amazing job.
Thanks!
This is godly level 'ricing'. Respect!
Personally, I would’ve left the lights original. That said, what you did was very, very clever! I’m extremely impressed with the way you did the mod and your video skills, too.
Excellent video man, I've been looking to do this for a friends car and I really like your process! Thanks for detailing it so well!
The end result kinda surprised me to be honest. They turned out pretty clean. Honestly thought they were gonna look janky that middle of the mall bullshit 🤣🤣🤣 but turned out DOPE! Good work too! You did everything yourself! Look good, one of kind, and you got the practice and technique down for future builds. Awesome video bro!
Ha, thanks for watching till the end!
Manufacturers should just make tail lights replacements like these for late 90's and 2000's cars, it would bring a lot of them back into life and make their designs stand out more.
Very good job, I loved the end result, and would for sure try to build one if I had half the equipment.
Word!
Nice work! I love the Honda Beat ^-^
Thanks! 😄
These look insane! Such a good job.
Thanks!
Great video, I'm subscribing ❤
This was really cool and I respect the cojones to crack open a rare taillight and get to cutting on it based on a fuzzy idea in your head. It came out great! Good point on the red lens. I think there are a lot of really cool design possibilities using the basics of what you’ve shown here. I am thinking of doing this for my old bugeye Subaru hatch taillights thanks to this video. Going to start with some sketches and then come up with some red neck engineering to make it all happen based on some of what I learned. Liked and Subscribed!
