In parking lamp mode, the rings have a crisp glow that illuminates both chambers. When the brakes are applied, the rings increase in brightness in conjunction with the main center clusters. Each tail light consists of approximately 400 very bright and highly visible LEDs. This upgrade is often referred to as the holy grail of tail lights for the S13-chassis and is said to resemble a jet engine’s afterburner. I was thinking of either that or a close-to solution. Now thinking about the density of all those LEDs and the luminosity from that many would beat the CCFL hands down. Also why you’d use a CCFL in CLEAR lens housing than coloured…LED light would for sure get through it clearly (this is why ppl use LED bulbs in their smoked out lenses if they have em) That’s one hell of an array of LEDs though…man I’d kill to find out or even see a pic of what’s used exactly or how they did it. More research… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/kustomizing-kouki-tails-diy-project/121525)._
