looks nice. but I know Curt tried to do them a while ago on this site, and there wasn't much interest.

Good luck

they actually do make LED tails for the evo 8/9. Nagisa NAMS makes them but be ready to spend about $1500 so making your own is actually not a bad idea if you know what you are doing and it looks like you do... Great job! Looks clean and BRIGHT!!

Love it would definitely get a set of these..... Only thing I would love to see is another strip or two of the amber lights for the turn signal. I like the amber but it looks over powered by the the break light.

Looks tight, when someone made LED lights for the X, I was wondering how long it would take someone to come up with them for IX's and below. Looks really dope! You should use that mustang idea with the lights start up from the inside to outside. cant wait for a tutorial.

very nice work OP. If I had more time I'd do my own. I bought some from v-leds that work well enough for the time being (for the driving lights/brake lights). The ambers would probably look better if the filter from your camera wasn't compensating for the brightness of your brakes.

I personally don't like PWM; they mess with my eyes (maybe my eyes are more sensitive than most). Anyway, good job taking this on. As someone else said, NAMS are expensive!
