New LED Taillights and front lense update

[murf]

I updated the front marker and turn signal lenses as well as the rear taillights with some units from "neondials" from Ebay. The fit and finish were very good. I think the clear vs amber lenses give an updated look to my LC vs the amber. The lenses come with all the hardware, bulbs and rubber u-shaped breather tubes to keep out moisture. I checked to see if I needed to clear silicone any gaps but that was already properly done in production.

The LED taillights are very bright and illuminate to a better degree whan braking than the original lights. (Rear lights shown in parking light mode, not braking)

I needed something else to do to feed the addiction

I did the same, but I also threw a coat of black paint on the trim at the bottom of the front corner lights to match the trim coming off the headlights, looked clean and original, but better.

Murf - Your Cruiser is AWESOME! I have been looking at the lights as well, but your entire setup is perfect. Clean and sharp. The lights really set it off.

Looks good! How did you get away with putting your rig on a school/park lawn?

Who's rear bumper is that? Where did you get it? Is that the class III receiver in the back?

So was the coach pissed that you drove onto the football field to take the pics?

It's all in the timing....and no, I didnt do "brodys" in the grass.

Front and rear made by a local fabricator. I gave him the specifics of what I wanted and he made it even better. He is a natural and gifted fab guy who takes your idea and makes it even more creative. An example is when he suggested the design of the rear exhaust outlet and the design of the tire carrier. To his (Tommy's) credit, heres a link to his work on the rear bumper > https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-...umper-tire-carrier.html?highlight=rear+bumper

No, but you shouldve seen the foursome at the 8th hole at the golf course get cheesed!

That looks great. Very clean and flows with the truck real well.

Murf looking good, I have the same setup on my truck, well maybe not exactly the same I have the black out conversion headlights on ebay.

 

[illcruiser]

Nice truck wish i would of seen this before i replaced the stock broken tail light. How much of a lift? Look very nice specially with that front and rear bumper.

They look great! I also updated mine with the same crystal clear front lights along with the crystal clear/read rear LED lights from MOT.

I installed the 1157 Lexuon LED in the front corner lights. The corner lights now have dual illumination - parking and turning.

Can you give more details on this - you mean the front signal lights?. Any pics?

 

[97 FZJ80]

I installed the black front 1157 sockets I sourced from junk yard. They are different than the 1157 gray sockets in the rear light. The black socket drops right in while the gray ones require some notching on the light.

murf, were your taillights a pisspoor quality cutout on the back for the bulbs? i just got a set from neondials and not one of the bulb sockets fit in due to the piss poor cuts and undersized notches.

 

[Schwein]

i just bought a full set from neodials,


quite interested if the quality has gone down over the past year!! i did pay 145 shipped for the corner lights, turn signal lights and rear brake lights..

They were a little snug but after determining how the bulb fit in thier design, they fit well. Sorry to hear you got a bad one, Id send it back for another set IMO
