2013 Sedan OE reflectors retrofited with SMD LED

[Bumper]

Tell me what you guys think, after reading through a thread about kplayground's blinking 3rd brake light I started toying with the idea of coming up with something that would look OE but be functional at the same time.

I bought a spare set of reflectors from Honda, disassembled them, retrofitted some SMDs into them and then ran those to a brake light module.

Here are the results.



Any thoughts?

looks pretty good imo

Great innovation, and execution. Haven't seen anything like this before. Would be cool to possibly use these as rear fog lights as well.

That's neat! And the nice thing is that it really draws attention to the fact that your brakes are on.
I've seen a similar thing on a motorcycle.

Awesome work man! Is there a way to make the reflectors not blink and make it solid light just like the brake light?

Thanks, yea the brake module I used is 36 way adjustable. You can adjust the pulse speed and delay duration.

If you don't use a brake module they can be wired directly to the brake lights and come on when they do with out flashing.

i like it apart from the flashing. if it blinked once or twice id be cool with it but seeing its adjustable its sweet man.

Brilliant. Love it. Got a link to the modules you used by any chance?

Great idea. I would try it with only 2 or 3 blinks before going solid.

looks good! I did the same to mine a few months ago, I had them running to pulse and brake, and also dimly run when the lights are on. The apparently cheap LEDs that I bought aren't holding up as well as I'd hope, I have them now just as running lights. Next project I'm going to get some new reflectors and build them with a much better set of LEDs. I get compliments about them all the time still, I'm sure you do too! Check mine out if you have instagram... @ralewine2

Is there a diy for this?

 

[slasher]

I like the led reflectors

 

[Jeffuhnator]

Is it legal for them to flash? (Specifically in California)

 

[blue rocket]

yes, it is legal, we are pursuing making these as a plug and play kit, keep in the loop by following us on instagram @grfxp and @grfxp_chris, as well as Facebook www.facebook.com/grfxp

Any word on how these are coming along? We are interested in purchasing these LED reflectors.
