In this video you can see my DIY tail light project on Alfa Romeo GT. Just to give you heads up, the conversion is more complicated, and time/effort consuming than it seems in the video. Do not attempt to do this yourself unless you have decent knowledge when it comes to car electrics, and more importantly a lot of patience.
Acquisition of all the necessary parts was challenge in itself. All of the parts I ordered took 2 month to arrive due to the current situation.

@dusangt688 3 года назад

Excellent job and enough details in explanation! I hope it is properly visible in daylight traffic circumstances... Additionally, maybe non-transparent foil reflective on inner side positioned on outer cover between LED stripes could make much more "contrast" light?

@arcgarage 3 года назад

Thanks, camera can't really do it justice. It has great visibility, even in daylight. The strips are red/yellow, so there is contrast between brake light and turn signal...

I love it when in states like Florida and what not, the drivers will equip their cars with the flashing on and off bulbs that are on it's own independent on/off relay. Those bulb not only look stupid they also could cause an accident.

@Onimanius 3 года назад

I would love to build something like that for my GT, because the Gt has an timeless design. Only thing i really think you could see the age of this car are its lights, so it was always a downside in astetics for me when i looked at my car. But here in Germany its impossible to get TÜV approval for this kind of modifications.... So you just can´t use them here like that, otherwise if the Police sees this, you had to pay a fine up to 500€ for not using original ones. So jeah its all great in Germany until you want to change things on your car, than its a mess.

Looks great! Can you put up a part list with links? Also does hot glue really work that well? I never thought of it being great for anything besides crafts.

@arcgarage 3 года назад

Thanks, don't have the links, bought the supplies from the guy in Italy, but if I find the links I will post them. When it comes to hot glue, this is a bit higher quality, with a higher melting point. The sticks are as hard as plastic, and they worked really well...

Android device? how you connect to turn it off, with the wiring of the original radio?... my Android, it doesn't turn off, in the end I'll have to connect it to the lighter cable, how do you connect? My unit only works if I connect, the orange cable along with red at 12 volt constant (red car wiring): "ill" together too, but then, it does not turn off and start from the last app by touching the stereo switch (not boot logo...). I can't find any pin cable that cuts the power when removing the key...It drops down the battery. Ramon, eres Español?
