Depending on how much the parts are.. make sure to get payment first :biggrin:
NSX guys can be ... cheap and a bit wishful thinking at times :tongue:

Here are some parking light pics and a pic with the parking light and turn signal. The pics of the brake lights are coming soon.
These lights look very nice! I have a set of 02+ taillights laying under my bed ready to be fabricate. Please let me know how do you like to go from here? TIA

I found this picture (not my car) and I believe this is what you are trying to describe. I think this would be the look I would want without the "NSX" centre section. Hopefully he can do this. I will definately get on the list if the final product looks similar to this photo. What do you guys think?

I've been monitoring this thread, as I have a keen interest in this conversion (eventually). I have a question, the areas marked below in light-blue w/ the "?", I haven't seen in your posts/pics anything in regards to that area. Or did I miss those pics?
For the '91-'01 NSX taillights (which are transparent-red on the outer surface), could this area conceivably be done w/ amber LED's (in tapering parallel-lines, like the red LED's that would be below them)?
Reference:
* yellow scribble -> non-custom LED-conv' in this thread (a generalized/non-precise schematic for illustration; irrelevant to my "?")
* light-blue scribble -> actual area of inquiry "?" & focus of this post

Re: small upper "triangles"?
Hi,
My original plan was not to include the upper reflector section on the taillight for LED illumination, but I can include that upper section to follow the "step" pattern I have going with the original turn signals. I will add this option to everyone for a little bit more in price if they desire it.
If you want me to put amber LEDs up top in those sections, you will not be able to see the amber color, the color will be red because the reflector is red.
Thank you for bringing this up.

Your link is not working?
Your link is not working?
That brings up a good point.
Just for a heads up.........if it is your turn in line, I will be requiring a down payment just so I know you are serious about this purchase.

Is this a set you are willing to offer me for a discount off your set or is this the set you would like to be worked on?
Chris.
Yes I would like you to work on my 02+ set mention above. I WANT the PARK LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT and BACKUP LIGHT only. I DON'T want the CENTER, I DON'T want the BLINKERS. Also my lights have some very minor scratches on the lense that need to be buff/correct. Please let me know my total. THANKX

Hi,
i thought a lot about layouts and one day i'll build my own set. One plan i have is to use that Blue area on your scheme (the reflector area) for the blinkers. I think it will look good.

Did this work as I can see the picture when I open this thread? Please let me know.

Alright, will do what you like. I have to brush up on my buffing skills, I'm going to buff my taillights at home soon. I'll post some pics so you guys can be confident of my work. I see the price being around $500 plus shipping for your setup.

Re: small upper "triangles"?
It did work, thank you.
I think I can make them look better than that. IMO, that looks half a$$ on the upper portion. I will make the turn signals and upper light section look as if it was one piece.

Re: small upper "triangles"?
I agree the upper section looks a littl lazy! If your version can turn out similar to these that I posted .... I'm in! I agree ... one peice would the answer and I am sure look more uniform so to say. Should all turn out after you post "completed" pictures, put me on the list for around March.
Look forward to seeing the final outcome!

grrreat!
xory72... thanks the reminder message, as well as the linked image here. That is what I was trying to convey in a round-about way, as they say: "...a picture is worth a thousand words"
apkarian100... good to hear that this a feasible task for future LED NSX taillight conversions!
I'm not familiar w/ the actual OEM/stock NSX taillight function in detail (as I'm generally driving or riding as a passenger, not observing my own/our taillights...), but what area acts a blinker in your conversion (ie. the tiered corner portions)?
[truth be told, I don't even know which parts of my own taillight light-up & don't light-up, when they light-up, and so forth in terms of what portion of the taillight assembly is on at a given time & what happens when: parking/combo' lights are turned-on, headlights/taillights are turned-on at night, foot-brake is applied, parking/e-brake is applied, NSX is put into reverse-gear, turn-signal is activated, etc'... :redface:]
With that said, I'm very keen and will more than likely be interested in the long-run!
UnhuZ... you precisely read my mind, my friend, as I'd love for that particular area (near the ends of the wing-spoiler) to function as blinkers w/ the tiered portion beneath it (I assume the tiered portion act as blinkers?)... or stealth-like, mini strobe-light'like flashers!

OK. Here are my lights, when would you like me to send them to you? Btw, Any warrantee on your work? Please forward your mailing's address and payment info. THANKX

It is your choice when you would like to send them to me, I could always take them early for safe keeping. Let me know and I'll get that address to you.
ATTENTION
My LED taillights will come with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY against malfunctioning LED modules, wiring, etc. If you find the taillights defective, all you have to do is pay for shipping back to me and I will fix them for free.

Cool. What is the time estimate if I send out my lights buy tomorrow? Do you need half payment? full payment?
Please send me a PM just so I know exactly what you would like so I can adjust your down payment accordingly.
Thank You
Thank You
The current order list as it stands is on the first post of this thread.
I like the idea of making the templates first and having the lights off my car for a minimal time. We have a winter here so my car is only driven half the year. If its in storage, like it is now, no big deal. I just didnt want to lose her for the summer.
Also, it seems like with a time period of 2-3 weeks per order I wouldnt get my lights done until next winter anyway.
You can put me on the list. When it comes time to order parts I would be happy to send you some money to cover the expense.
Anyway, put me on the list.
Thanks,
Jason

Funny, I don't see myself on the list before Angus or even after him.
Trev...I guess uncles get special attention. I'm on the SPECIAL list.
Hang on, the short yellow school bus is here to get me.

Hahaha.
I've got some pics of the brake lights, parking lights, and turn signals:
