LED Altezzas Worklog = READY

Post by Miguelitto »

Hey guys....
I`m trying to do my own custom LED altezzas...

I posted a topic in the brazilian`s club, and now I`m posting here, for you to know too, and give me your opnions...

In the original topic I did a real worklog, here I`ll do a resume, of what I`ve made.

For those of you who want to see the original one: http://www.mx3zone.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4805
TIP: use google translate for you to read, it`s easier.....

So I bought 4 discs of acrylic.... and I did holes in this pattern
Image

And that`s the final result:
Image

After that I bought some aluminum pipes to put in the acrylic:
Image
Image

I glued this pipes with a super contact glue (AKA SuperBonder in Brazil)
Image

Then I glued the leds in the pipes with this glue too...
I putted the led into the pipe, because the pipe will do a shadow, and when the led goes on, it will be easier too see....

After that I soldered the LEDs in the resistors....
Image

And I cutted my broken altezzas, I`m using it as a test.......
Image
Image

Then I glued the acrylic in the altezza:
Image
Image

And a video to show how it will work in the car:

Now I will cut my brand new altezza, and assemble it in the car....

What do you guys think?

sorry for my english :P

Wow this is so awesome... This is a project I have always wanted to do. I feel like the taillights are the most outdated part of the mx-3 (just from lighting perspective - I think the altezzas are an up to date design)

thank you for sharing and I look forward to more updates! :o :shock: :love:

I really like it. I was thinking about something like this, but it seemed like a lot of work. Looks great.
