3rd Gen---BTLM + LED Retrofit

Sweet

 

While I wait for my custom boards...decided to mess around and make something new..
Can anyone guess?



clue:


This is going to revolutionize 3rd Gen tail lights for a turn/reverse solutions!! Mark my words

 

Better reverse lights

 

Bigger, Brighter, Better REVERSE...AND TURN. The factory turn signal 7440 socket will twist right in. Opens up a lot more options for PNP bulbs

 

I can't wait.
And seeing the R/D going into these, I'm rolling pennies cause I know they won't be cheap...

 

Very sweet. I'd love to have an amber section! Nice looking work.

 

Fixed

Still ironing out details of package contents and final price. But I do know it will be a turn-key, "plug and play" kit.
Including Brand new lights, fully installed LED Brake panels, Switchback Amber/Reverse LEDs with Custom adapter ring, Raptor Side Glow, BTLM, resistors, and all wired up with correct harnesses for a 5 minute swap.
Won't be 3X the cost....shooting for ~2X the cost of PROS, which I think is VERY reasonable for the amount of custom work and electronics included.
Currently, there isn't anything out there on the market like this to compare, and keep in mind everything is subject to change; Design and price wise

 

Oh no I know. It wasn't a jab at you, this is a lot of custom work hands down, good work and innovation isn't cheap

 

Cool little benefit:
Since these new boards are running an Arduino microprocessor... any light configuration is possible and fully customize-able.(within the horseshoe of course)
I am going to write the codes for different modes so they will be ready to download to the tail light(USB connector on the back)

WHAT MODES WOULD YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE?

My thoughts;

MODE.1(defualt)
Parking: All 3 rows 50%
Brake: All 3 rows 100%

MODE.2
Parking:Row 3 100%
Brake: Row 1+2 100%

MODE.3
Parking:Row 2 100%
Brake:Row 1+3 100%
Turn: Sequential 1-2-3



Also..can even dim/delay, pulse, etc.

 

Wow these are awesome. Great job man.

 

^Thanks. Would you be interested if they were available to purchase?


Reverse bulb adapter Prototype lookin' good.( few minor design changes)
This is how you stuff a 7440 Turn signal(or switchback) Into the TINY 921 reverse socket.

 

Would this adapter work on a 2nd gen??

 

Not sure, the base has a slight taper on it to index perfect into the OEM socket. You'd have to check yours and/or measure.

 

Definitely interested. These look amazing.

 

No updates, but I've got cutting these tail lights DOWN.



And just to rub in... AMBER turn signals and 5k White reverse(red turn is soo 3rd gen)

 

That is insane!

 

2nd gen tail light, I'll be the test dummy if you like lol!

 

God I hated my 2nd gen tails..
if this project works out I might attempt a 2nd gen project and one for the new Tundras(buddy has one and has been begging me for a retro)

 

How much reflector will be left? Asking because it may not look great when driving but it's needed when parked overnight.
