I'm really looking for the best stuff to build my tails for my Cadillac fleetwood. I don't know where to begin 😭
Research research research! Dig around for what others have done, and if you don’t find anything, look at similar size and shape lights on more commonly modified cars.
Rarely is any of this easy and straight forward, and very few people are interested in helping others figure it out.
Hi, this is Jim from Easy Performance Products, LLC
We really appreciate your candid review of our taillight panels from our Datsun 240Z taillight kit. You did a nice job of touching on some of the highlights of our taillight kits. We would like to add some additional information that might resolve some confusion or questions that the review may leave.
The price of ~$300 is for LED panels for both sides of the vehicle (i.e. the customer gets 4 LED panels for the ~$300).
Here at Easy Performance Products, we strive to develop LED taillight kits that provided the greatest measure of safety for the customer’s cars. For individuals who have spent a lot of money in restorations and customization of their vehicle, the last thing they want is for someone to crash into the back of their car because they didn’t notice the stop lights. To meet this goal, we make our LED panels to be the brightest in the market. Something you already commented on. We also develop our kits to illuminate as much, if not all, of the area available in the taillight lens. This often includes the non-illuminated reflector sections. To extend this safety goal, we want our LED panels to achieve the greatest change in contrast from brake lights Off to brake lights On. While the LEDs are bright when they are On, we want the Red taillight lenses to be dark as possible with the lights Off. This can be achieved by choosing a LED panel color that darkens the Red lens. The complementary color of Red is Green. So, we purposely use Green LED panels rather than Red to achieve a darker Red lens than would be achieved with a Red or White color panels. This really makes a difference when the taillights are observed on a bright sunny day with the sun shining off the back of the vehicle. The brake lights are even more noticeable.
Thanks again for the honest review and if there are any questions we can answer, please let us know.
Interesting comparison! These modules are the way to go for sequential lights!!
Love your content man! Im just wondering where the best place to shop for circuit boards would be. I am trying to make custom tails for my slammed flared out Accent, but i can find LEDs and the ghozt modules but not boards.
I am just looking to supplement the existing bulbs within the OEM housing, so thank you for also including the link for the strips. I am pretty sure that for my annual safety inspections, "modifications", such as LED replacements past just an insert-able LED bulb are a no go. I may need to wire it in with a switch so that it can be shut off and just used for the "show field". I was initially just thinking the LED would light up instantly while the incandescent would be delayed by a second giving a wink and blink effect, but simple sequencing would be a nice added touch. Nice job on the comparison, but I would have liked to see that 240Z with the lights installed and in use! Those multiple sequencing options were very enticing. I might still contact that manufacturer for pricing on custom work...but it's more about the ease of me being able to cut and customize the product for my needs with the strips vs the cost of a custom 1 off. Thanks for sharing the info.
Hi, love your video's, there really inspiring. What's the name for the sequential module not brand as I'm searching and nothing really coming up
Good video, but what about those that don’t have a Datsun but want the extra features?
Nice vid dude I think you need to do review on some projectors💚💚💚💚💚💚
Haha 😄 I honestly dont know how you do it. I'm looking to design a pcb specifically for my mk5 gti. And just by watching your video, I found so many way I can improve my design. I cant wait for your next video thanks
Do you do any custom builds? Chevy novas have boards for their tails but the Ventura doesn’t lol
Yo bro i have a question i need 2 sequential rear tail lights when I press the brake and turns red when I do a turn signal it starts from left to right or right to left however it goes, but i know u have skills, can u make me some 20" stops, or how can I contact you? I would like a pair.
Where is your shop located. Do you customize & install vehicle lights?
on which pages you can buy the good lights
Did a set of lights for my 280z and now one led is turning on early so I hope it's just the wet glue
So i'm trying to learn how to do this myself with tails for my car since i can't find a single forum or FB group of someone doing it. Where should i even start if i already tried the mega research approach? Any of your videos you'd suggest?
I’m subscribed to your channel and I don’t even get the notifications.. but man I try to follow in your footsteps..hope to build at your skill level one day.. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Looking for a thirds brake light strip long enough for an 07-14 ESCALADE
You got the point, however, it depends. Like me, i dont want to speed like $600 but a serious tailight or headlight mod. While the $300 will replace for a completely taillight, the led strip is just make the tailight have a led line which look more modern. So i think 2 of those have different purpose....
Where can I get stuff for my 2017 kia optima ?
I I was thinking about trying to build a insert panel like that, using reflective tape covering the PCB, I really have a thing for the black reflective tape, however red and/or white/silver would probably be the better choice, possibly black for new model clear red lenses, I'm thinking 2010 avenger tail lights, convert the reverse section to sequential turn signals, keeping the reverse function, use 3watt LEDs for backup, about 5-6 of then with 30° lenses, cool white , maybe use IR LEDs for the backup camera, having basically the same function as the inserts you are showing, also I thought about building a 3rd. Brake light, with similar function, maybe do the nightrider thing, use 1watt LEDs with 90° or 120° lense with diffuser, maybe more smaller LEDs, with reflective tape on the PCB, I really like building things myself,
I’d hate to be the guy that shows up to a car meet with the Amazon strips when other people have custom lights at the meet
I should be that guy 🤣🤣🤣
@@flyryde it would make for great content to go to a meet and get people’s thoughts on them
Watch, they actually like em better than full custom lmao 🤦♂️
@@flyryde then we will know to stock those strips lol
Be funny to get vids of all the laughs @ the Amazon sh*t
Do you taken customer requests? There is no aftermarket options for the 2010 Hyundai Sonata for tail lights sadly
How would I make a panel for a 2019 q50 @flyryde?
I actually have a good plan for the cheap light. Inside on a Volvo taillight. However, you didn’t put a link to it in your description lol it’s 2 of the same link to the other one
What is your opinion on making tail lights with the WS2815 led strips? I mean every single led there is programmable, i guess you can get close results to these led patterns, am I right or wrong?
If it was dark outside 24/7, they’d be a pretty smart way to go. However, real life has sunshine, and reflection, and all sorts of things that make a set of tail lights on a car, a completely different beast than inside a computer.
My stance is, don’t REPLACE any function of the existing lights with addressable, but rather, add the addressable LED function that can activate on command when the time is right. Does that make sense?
@@flyryde Thanks for response.
Yes it does make sense.
One more question, how much power (?Watts per led?) of light does this, or similar LED panel has ?
some of us simply can't afford those prices, I tend to find a happy medium if possible. It's when you can and you still chose the crap product, then its valid to say wtf-really. Price doesn't always equal quality either. Always do a thorough study of all you buy-don't just throw $. And also depends what your going for, LED's and such are sweet but for me that extra $ would go to something powertrain or chassis related and then I have 2 instead of one "checked of the list" build wise. Just saying. Keep those videos coming have learned some things from them that helped me do my 350z lights, thank you for the info and congrats on the channel success.
Sometimes you can take a bunch of cheap products and make something really awesome if you know what you're doing. But it takes a lot of extra R and D!
i wish there was something for my Passat B5 similar to that panel :(
gotta make some flyryde mazda 3 for the 2016 models :{ so sad there isnt any company that makes realible quality leds kits
I can put a bulb kit together, but something vehicle specific like sequential parts really does need a decent demand to make producing and marketing it worth the effort for a business. For a random Mazda 3 guy however, the investment of time in research and development makes waaaay more sense. Especially when you group up a few buddies with the same car to fund your efforts as early adopters 👌
How can I get u to make me some headlights and tail lights?
Dang EZ Performance really goes above and beyond with their PCB builds
If the $20 light had brake light function it would be very convenient and so worth it. Even if they sell for $40-$50
My thoughts exactly
For the 280z? What size is the led board?
Are you trying to use it for something else? I’ll have to measure
@@flyryde Yes. I'm trying to retrofit it into a 2007 Acura TL Type-s tailight.
Let's see how you rate the fancy tail lights install after the fact. It looks like there is going to need to be some cutting and fabricating a bit on 50 year old plastic.
Really? I haven’t seen anything so far to shed any light on the install, but I’m all ears if you know something about it 🙏
Looks pretty damn easy to me: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0008/6074/9868/products/74-78_260-280Z_Installed.jpg?v=1597591456
@@flyryde The photo shows a 260Z or 280Z tail light and I didn't realize they are really two pieces. I have only built the tails for the ones like you showed in the link.
Shiiiiiii boy got that bell on. Where is the rest of the wrx tail lights lol 😢
The rest?
The rest of the build lol. Thought you were gonna drop a how to video 😭
Is it on the websit the 301 class ?
The rest is pretty much common sense after you get them opened up
The difference between a 20$ light and a 300$ light is the markup.
I rollerblades but always liked avalanche
Foxbody taillights
Hi, Datsun guy here. We use $20.00 leds in our tailights.
another great video to show us all why it’s expensive to build good lights and “affordable” lights aren’t worth it
I wouldn’t say affordable aren’t worth it. I think affordable just gets more attention and love, because it’s so easy to buy a set, make a dumb video that tricks people into thinking you know what you’re talking about, thus pushing more sales of the affordable product.
This plays well into my point about not being able to buy awesome vehicle specific Sequential LED boards. They might be better, but the info about them is so scarce, and the sales are so low, they basically stand no chance at becoming a trend.
@@flyryde but there are so few options of capabilities
For sure man. 20 bucks only gets you so far.
@@flyryde true, get what you pay for but it’s not even worth the $20 for me honestly
I guess I'm a cheap person. If I ever had a show truck I put high end lights. But for now I'm just use amazon,Amazon, lights!
Personally the cheapo looks better becauae its diffused and it doesnt look like a ebay light or at least my opinion for the price i dont want to see individual led lights especial non smd lights that were popular in the 90s and 2000s i feel it gives a cheeaaaaap look
