How do I install a set of tail lights?

How do I install a set of tail lights? Unlike installing headlights, most tail lights are usually pretty easy to replace. Most trucks are especially easy. With a few tips though, you can make an easy installation even faster and more painless. Is it hard to install tail lights onto my vehicle? A good way to tell is to check your stock tail lights to see if you can get to all the screws from the front. If not, check to see if you can access the area to the rear of the taillights without undoing too many clips. In the unusual case where you don't even see any clips to undo the carpet or the panel behind the tail lamp, then the installation will probably be difficult. Tools generally needed to install tail lights Socket wrench set or Phillips screw driver (depending on lights) Painters tape to prevent scratches to your vehicle (Rare) Torque wrenches, etc. General tail light installation procedure Inspect the new set of tail lights to make sure you can complete the installation with the tools you have available. Disconnect your car battery's negative battery terminal. If your stereo requires a key in order to reboot, please be sure you have it before disconnecting the battery. Also, be aware that you will probably have to reset your clocks, etc. after reconnecting the battery later. Please note that some vehicles (such as newer GMs) have extremely sensitive electrical systems. In these cases failure to disconnect the battery before attempting installation may lead to blown taillamp fuses or other damage. Apply painters tape on the vehicle around the edges of your taillights to prevent any scratches that might occur while removing and installing taillamps. If uninstalling your rear bumper is required, make sure you have a safe surface to place the bumper on and that the working surface below the vehicle is also safe in the event the bumper falls down. This step is particularly important because tail lens, unlike headlights, often require a little force to come loose, leaving many people to inadvertently scratch their vehicles in the process. Without touching the glass, uninstall the stock brake, signal and reverse bulbs (as applicable). For bulbs with flat rectangle harnesses, you just pull the bulb firmly outward. For bulbs with round bases, you usually just push them in a bit, and then turn a quarter turn to release them. Once the bulb is removed, place them in their original container (if available). If they are cold, you could also store them in a ziplock type of bag. Please note that if your tail lamps have a harness that can be separated via a main harness that leaves part of the harness with the bulbs inside the tail lights, you will still need both parts of the harness since the aftermarket tail lights are designed to either re-use the stock bulbs (altezzas) or to connect directly into the bulb harnesses (LED taillights). Unscrew the taillamps from the front or use a socket wrench to undo the tail lamps from the back. Be aware that the tail lights might fall immediately once the tension of the bolts is removed. For this reason, it is best to lightly hold the lights in place with your free hand as you unbolt or unscrew them. Remove the old taillens and store in a way that the lens will not be scratched. Install the new tail lens and bolt / screw in place. Altezza Tail Lights: Reinstall the old bulbs into the new taillights. Be aware some taillights might make use of a conversion harness that connects into one of your stock harnesses and splits the function into two separate bulbs. In these cases, the new bulbs should be included. LED Tail Lights: Some of your stock bulbs, such as the reverse lights, might be re-used in your new LED lights. For the rest, the LED lights will come with male plugs that should be identical to the ends of your stock bulbs. Connect these into your stock harnesses. For plug in type harnesses, please try to install the plugs in the opposite orientation if they do not work. LED Tail Lights: Since LED taillights operate at a lower wattage than your stock bulbs, they include a resistor in order to regulate the current being passed to them. While sometimes this box is internal, more often it is external and connected via a plastic plug. In the case of an external resistor box, it needs to be mounted somewhere (they usually have double sided tape on the backs) where it will be away from heat and moisture. Reconnect your battery and turn on your taillamps and check for proper operation and blinking speed. If any functions are not operational, try flipping the plugs the reverse orientation and double checking that the resistor boxes are fully connected. Reconnect all connections and tighten all bolts in place. Taillights FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Are these tail lights sold by piece or as a pair? All our taillights are sold in the full pair. When you pay the listed price, you receive the complete set including both the right and the left sides. Are these tail lights street legal? As far as we know the Sonar and KS brand taillights on our website are all street legal as mandated by federal law in the United States. This basically means that they are designed to the specifications set forth by the DOT (United States Department of Transportation). Occasionally, DOT might test models for compliance. If any taillights fail (rare) DOT will have the companies issue a recall. For those tail lens, you can return them to us for a refund. For any other brands besides Sonar and KS, we can not guarantee DOT compliance. Also, please be advised that your local laws that may disallow these sorts of taillights to be used. After I installed LED tail lights my front signals are blinking fast. What do I do? Your front and rear signals are connected, so when you have a problem with one you will have a problem with the other. A fast blinking signal usually points to too much wattage going through the system. This can be caused by three different situations: 1) a dead bulb in the front or the rear, 2) the appropriate plug on the LED taillight being plugged in upside down, or 3) the resistor box not being connected or malfunctioning. Dead bulbs can be examined by eye for blowouts. If one of the wires is broken and/or you see a burnt part of the bulb, then it is probably dead. For the LED plugs, this would only be the case if they were ALWAYS blinking fast. To remedy that situation, just unplug and replug the bulb in the opposite orientation. For a defective resistor box, check the connection. Worst case, try the resistor box from the other side to isolate the problem. How can I prevent my tail lights from fogging up? During the first few days of operation, it is normal to see some moisture appear in your taillights. This is due to the small amounts of moisture in the plastic and coating that are evaporated when the taillights are first warmed up during use. This sort of moisture is normal and should disappear within a few days. To be sure that no external moisture gets into the tail light though, it is a prudent idea to silicone seal the edges. Clear silicone sealant can be found in any hardware store (and some auto part stores), and can be applied to the seam along the taillights where the clear lens meets the rear housing. Also, even if a bulb has died, make sure to keep it installed in the tail light until you replace it to prevent moisture from entering through the bulb hole. Can I smoke my tail lights? While smoking your taillights (tinting them) is certainly possible through the use of carefully applied spray tint (use light even coats), doing so may make them too dark to be legal. Please check your local laws as well as smoked taillights of any darkness might be illegal in your area.

Advantage and Dis-Advantage of Automotive LED Tail Lights

Traditional taillights use light bulbs, which produce a continuous beam of incandescent light. The light is produced when electric power passes through a resistive filament, producing sufficient heat that the filament becomes "white-hot." LEDs, or light emitting diodes, are semiconductor devices and not light bulbs, though they do give off light through atomic transitions. Power (considerably less than that needed for light bulbs) is provided to the semi-conductor device, which then gives off light, but very little heat. Advantage of LED Tail Lights - Brake Time Semi-conductor devices are like switches. Throw the switch, and power comes on pretty nearly instantly. Light bulbs receiver power just as quickly, but it takes time to heat the filament to white-heat, so light appears more slowly. Although the difference is only a fraction of a second, in a taillight of a vehicle trying to avoid an accident, it can make an important difference. The driver of the car has that amount of time more to apply his brakes, and the car has that much more time to slow down and stop. So rapidity of response is a real advantage of LED taillights. In fact, Cadillac estimates that at a speed of 60 mph, the difference is 17.6 feet of travel time. Advantage of LEDs - Lifetime Not having heated filaments to burn out, the life expectancy of LEDs is considerably higher. Some LEDs even last for decades. In addition, since very little heat is produced by LEDs, efficiency is greatly improved. Since a taillight is made up of many LEDs, it is very unlikely the entire taillight will ever burn out. Which is a good thing from a safety perspective, but also from that of... Cost - A Decided LED Disadvantage LED taillights, per pair, can easily cost well over $100. Some brands can cost $300 - $400 and more! Most likely these costs will drop considerably as mass manufacturing techniques improve. Since they do not burn out as fast, however, manufactures may not be in too big a hurry to lower prices. Flickering and Increased Brightness - a Safety Problem? The website Fun-LED-Light discusses a problem noticed by the author, that of distraction. The site says, "When you try looking at a bunch of tail light LEDs...your eye will be strongly attracted to the light-you will see a kind of a strobing effect through the involuntary saccadic movement of your eyes." An additional complaint is that some LED taillights are annoyingly bright. LEDs that are much brighter than those used as taillights are a potential safety hazard. Will any of these three difficulties prove to be a safety hazard as well? Doubtless time will provide the answer to that question.
Why Use Wheel Spacers? Appearance. You want to push the wheels out for a better stance and more aggressive look. This is totally subjective to your personal tastes. And we can't tell you what to like... Clearance. Many wheels are not compatible with big brake kits. The spoke of the wheel will scrape the new brake caliper and you need a wheel spacer to push the wheel spoke away from the caliper. Correction. You may have bought a set of wheels that don't have the correct offset for your car. The offset may be too high, resulting in the wheels sitting too far inward. This is both ugly and incorrect as the tire can now rub on the inside wheel well, or on suspension components, etc. A wheel spacer will push the wheel out and 'correct' the offset. Handling. By spacing the wheels further apart, you can make the car more stable and corner better. You can gain a similar effect as adding a wider wheel without the added weight and expense. What Size Should I Use? Knowing why you need spacers leads you to the question of what size to use. The best way of figuring this out is to measure the gap between your tire and the inside lip of your fender. This will tell you how much space you have before the tire will make contact with the fender. Too big of a spacer will obviously give you rubbing issues. So the answer is - How much space do you have to work with? Measuring your wheel gap is very easy and we have provided some examples below. Turner Motorsport may be the biggest BMW wheel spacer dealer in the world. As such we have learned not to make assumptions on spacer size. Every situation is different and the best advice we can give is to measure your car. It's tempting to listen to what everyone else is running but unless they have your exact wheel, exact tire, exact suspension, and exact suspension settings, no one can tell you what spacer size to use. They can only guess... Please keep in mind that wheel spacers that have been installed and tested cannot be returned. This is to be fair to the next customer who expects new, top quality parts from us. Which is all the more reason to be precise about what size you can install. Wheel Studs and Washers For this method, you would purchase at least two wheel studs to thread into the hub and corresponding nuts to lock the wheel down. Remove your wheel and bolts. Thread the studs into the hub. Place washers down the stud to the hub. Slide the wheel over the studs. If it makes contact with the caliper or suspension, add more washers. Once the clearances are set, lock the wheel down with the nuts. Lower the car to the ground and roll - don't drive! - the car back and forth so the suspension will settle. Check your clearances again and also for tire-fender contact. Adjust if necessary. The end thickness of your washers will be your minimum spacer size. If you have space left over before the tire hits the fender, consider going with an even bigger spacer for improved looks.

DRL Projector Headlights (Day Time Running Light)


Day Time Running lights are widely observed in today's auto makers. DRL lighting add safety on the road during day and night time. It also give the car or truck a aggressive appearance and design. In US, motorcycle are required to have day time running lights by law. We are seeing more vehicle adapting this with their auto maker. DRLs provide not only improved visibility (detection) but also improved reaction times and estimation of speed and distance.

Almost all new designed DRL are powered by LED light bulbs. LED uses less energy compare to traditional halogen light bulbs. By law, DRL must be powered by electricity generated by the engine, which LED consume less energy and make it more environmental friendly. LED DRL are also brighter in compare with regular light bulbs, as it is more eye catching. In addition to increasing the distance at which vehicles could be reliably detected, DRLs make vehicles appear closer. This makes drivers more likely to reject short gaps for a potentially hazardous manoeuvre.

Aftermarket DRL headlights are also widely available. High quality aftermarket projector headlights offer LED illuminated DRL which pre-wired with the headlights. The DRL for these aftermarket headlights are wired with the parking lights. The driver will need to turn on the parking lights if they want DRL to turn on.

LED powered third brake lights - Euro Style



LED powered 3rd brake light offer additional safety for cars, suv, and trucks. Upgrading from traditional 3rd brake lights to LED powered third brake light is a smart move. LED lights up faster and brighter than regular lightbulb powered 3rd brake light. Also, LED are also more efficient with power usage.

Some people prefer third brake lights encased with LED light bulbs instead of ordinary halogen lights because they are brighter, last longer, and light up faster than regular brake lamps. Some studies show that LED third bake lights can last up to 80 times longer than incandescent lights because there are several dozen of LED light bulbs in LED third brake lights, versus one big one in halogen third brake lights. Thus, it is much more likely that one halogen filament light bulb will blow out sooner than LED third brake lights with dozens of LED light bulbs. In addition, truck drivers may prefer LED third brake lights because they can give the back of their motor vehicle greater illumination at night. In this case, LED third brake lights can make nighttime access to the bed of their truck faster and safer.

There are many kind of LED powered 3rd brake light available that you can choose from. Some of the popular LED 3rd brake light is available for Ford F150, Dodge Ram, Dodge Noen, Toyota tacoma, and much more.

LED Third Brake Lights

Your automotive lights include headlights, fog lights, and taillights assembly. Your tail lights assembly is comprised of a pair of signal lights, reverse lights, and parking lights or brake lights. In the mid 80s, a center brake light was installed at the highest point of a compact car, truck, and sports utility vehicle SUV. The traditional right and left brake lights were required for car safety. At that time, third brake lights were called center high mount stop lamps, though it is most colloquially used as third brake lights, middle brake lights, center brake lights, safety brake lights, and high level brake lights. In the 80s, third brake lights used a single filament bulb, though many car enthusiasts prefer a row or group of LED light bulbs instead. Third brake lights were required by law to provide warning to following divers who may not be able to see the left and right brake lights. Third brake lights also serve to clarify if the driver is flashing his right or left turn lights or actually braking, in case there are blocking or interceding cars. Like the rest of your car lights system, your third brake light serve to protect you and other drivers on the road by warning them when you are braking. By utilizing LED technology, third brake light is more efficient and reacts faster than regular traditional tail lights powered by halogen light bulb.

In terms of style,third brake lights come in a variety of colors, including clear 3rd brake lamps styles, smoked third brake lights, amber third brake lights, and red 3rd brake lights. Though not parts of your taillights assembly like ordinary brake lights, your third brake lights are mounted inside your compact car or sports utility vehicle, behind the back windshield. Third brake lights are generally thinner but broader than your ordinary brake lights in your taillights. If you own a truck, your third brake light might be attached on the frame of your back windshield. Third brake lights are extremely important to your safety because it is the highest located lights on the back of your car. If a driver is tailgating you closely and you suddenly hit the brake, your 3rd brake lights are going to be the first brake lights he or she sees since it is in his or her direct vision, whereas the brake lights are a little lower in the vision.

If you are looking to update your entire car lights assembly, be sure to check our crystal headlights, projector headlights, HID xenon, Euro headlights, Euro Tail Lights, Fog Lights, and more.

Define: Performance Racing Aluminum Hubcentric Wheel Spacers

http://www.protuninglab.com/wheel-spacers-ichiba-version-2.html

Wheel spacers defiantly offer a more balanced look on the car as the wheels get pushed out to the edge of the fender. The only downfall to wheel spacers is some bolt security. With the spacers in place the lug nuts do not screw on as deep on the bolt which could cause some safety issues. To make sure this does not happen the best defense is purchasing extended wheel studs. The extended wheel studs ensure that the lug nuts get their full thread capacity with the spacers in place.

When you lower our car the wheels tend to "suck in" to the fender wells (due to camber). Giving the wheels a much higher offset appearence. This to many people looks UGLY. Which is why most go with a lower offest wheel to make the wheel face sit flush with the fender. For those of us not wanting to waste thousands of dollars on aftermarket wheels but want the same performance, we use wheel spacers.



Each Wheel Spacers kit usually consists of a pair of aluminium spacers and pack of extension studs - these simply screw into the existing mounting holes, and then the spacer fits over. The original wheel bolts are then used to screw the wheel into the newly mounted extension studs. Available in a range of thread variations to suit most applications.
