I'm most likely get an EA on monday (woo! love the EA's). Now, you know those clear tail lights with the chrome, or something to that effect). Do they exist for the Ea-ED?

Anyone know?

Thanks

As fas as I know They don't exist for the E sieries. I did look around at one stage when the "ricer" in me was more prevelant but was told they don't exist! I may be wrong but. Might have to custom make some.

No Altezza Taiel lights for E-Series

But i wanted to put leds in the clear lights as I had a phase with leds.

I bought a set of leds to replace the std tail light globes but LEDs are directional and they were not as bright as they didnt use the reflectors inside the tail lights appropriately

I have an EF Fairmont with the Red Brake Light and Clear Reverse and Indicator - what I want to do is keep the same sort of design with the tail lights but fill it up with LEDS

Like the new BMWS and Pugs and the like.

Not change the design just have leds tail lights on the rear.

$2,500 to make 1 set up to ADR Standards then you can make as many as you like after that. :

As long as he's got Red and orange bulbs, then its totally legal.

They are not cheap, but if you want the easiest solution, the 20-LED 1157 Light Tower from Superlumination is still the best replacement bulb money can buy.
