Reminds me of the Pimp my Ride episode where one of the mechanics tried to turn the exhaust pipe into a small flamethrower and was immediately shut down by his boss.
The same way you clean normal ones? The crystals are covered. Most people dont pull off the shell and clean their tail light bulbs. Not sure what your point is.
Definitely not here in NZ, Australia is also out, as is most of Europe if not all of it, anywhere with a road worthiness test... and anywhere it would be considered legal would still be a cop magnet
I think it is because led replacements that arent design to mimic the optics of the original lights are legal despite the fact that all logic says it should be illegal.
Legal or not, u can guarantee you if a cop sees this, they are stopping you no matter what to check how many other crazy things your car features, and that's gonna happen a lot.
Technically not because all functionality important lights such as these are DOT certified (In the US) and cannot be modified like this. It’s like putting LED lights in your car if the housing isn’t made for it. All those people that put in LED lights that have terrible light patterns are the same as this dude making his tail lights was less functional. But who really cares if the guy behind me can’t figure out if my brakes are on or if I just have my headlights on I’m the “cool” guy with this ugly mod. Tinted tail lights are illegal and so are these but at least in my state they don’t seem to enforce that.
It does make it more dangerous, it makes the lights appear far less bright. Blinkers and headlights have lenses on them that are specifically meant to redirect the light to better concentrate it at other drivers and on the road. This scatters the light instead, probably in a worse way than a diffusing sheet of plastic would.
I really hate these, the way the LEDs are wired makes it look terrible. Why would you have a sweeping turn signal with the gems, why not just solid. Not to mention those reverse lights look horrible too. The red looks okay at least.
I kinda like this my only question is how many places in the world would be legally allowed to drive this. Going of my country the UK I don't think the gavvers would allow it
Those LEDs are gunna burn out in no time. No heatsink whatsoever and completely encased in epoxy lol. I would be surprised if they lasted long enough for you to get your Big Mac at the drive through.
If they have the proficiency to wire up LED strips to function as turn indicators, they probably have the proficiency to wire them up as brake lights too.
This feels like something that's going to take off in parts of Florida or Atlanta (like those trucks slammed in the back), but is generally laughed at by the majority of America.
Legality aside, how would you clean that? Like you are going to need to scrub those lights with a toothbrush after every rain or mud splash to keep the light visible
Looks shite. Plus with the led strips epoxied in I'd be worried bout over heating and burning them out if driving for long periods iat night. Can't replace them handy. Fail from me
I think this is actually a really solid idea, but for me personally I think covering it up with a slightly smoked enclosure would really make this look 100% imo
Honestly, i don't think its THAT ugly but i feel as it could have been differently. Instead of having the crystals on the outside of the car, they could have been smaller and just glued to the inside of the light housing. Protected from the outside and less work.
Reminds me of the Pimp my Ride episode where one of the mechanics tried to turn the exhaust pipe into a small flamethrower and was immediately shut down by his boss.
That was the mustang episode, yeah?
The best i can do is to make the boot into a shave ice machine
At first I thought you said Unpimp your ride like the old VW commercials. Someone needs to launch this car with a trebuchet
We require more minerals
You must construct additional pylons.
Additional Supply Depots required.
They're not rocks. THEY ARE MINERALS MARIE!
Show me the money
Inefficient vespene gas.
Nuclear launch detected
Dammit they are minerals Maureen!
I love how a 24 year old game is still relevant enough to be the top comment.
Build more Pylons
Battle cruiser operational
We require more vespene gas
SCOURGE EAARRTTHHHH
I have a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell
How the hell do u keep those clean?
Ya know those long road trips when you need to pull over and pee? Just pee them clean!
Pressure washer
The same way you clean normal ones? The crystals are covered. Most people dont pull off the shell and clean their tail light bulbs. Not sure what your point is.
Is this legal to drive?
Depends on where you live.
Definitely not here in NZ, Australia is also out, as is most of Europe if not all of it, anywhere with a road worthiness test... and anywhere it would be considered legal would still be a cop magnet
In the us no, all lighting has to be D.O.T approved. This is why you see "intended for off road use only" on almost all after market products.
As long as the indications are the same as what is legally required, and it’s above the brightness requirement, I would assume so.
They seem really dim.
I’m pretty sure they have to be reflective to be legal.
I was wondering the same. I think it's cool
No only DOT approved lights are allowed ro be used and modifying them is illegal
I think it is because led replacements that arent design to mimic the optics of the original lights are legal despite the fact that all logic says it should be illegal.
Legal or not, u can guarantee you if a cop sees this, they are stopping you no matter what to check how many other crazy things your car features, and that's gonna happen a lot.
They are now for show and off road use only. They are no longer DOT approved. The lens needs to be reflective when vehicle is off.
If you're in the US, good luck passing your yearly safety inspection.

in EU - absolutely not..
Not in EU
If you have to ask
No
I hope its not and they get arrested.
Nothing is legal in California except weed lol
Oh of course its a fucking Civic
If it was a Bmw we’d need a follow up video working around the ccm
this is my civic.. there are many like it.
My first thought too xD fucking ricers
Why not save time and get a sticker that says I love crystal meth?
Save your money and just install a meth hookah in your center console!
Jessie, we need to drive
Jesse! We need to make tail lights!
Nobody tell the DOT
They're in Russia
It’s not horrible, not my taste but at least it doesn’t ruin the function or make it exceedingly dangerous.
Exactly. As an example of their ability to make a clean looking concept-to-reality, it's done pretty well. I'd say this is ATBGE.

Not my thing either, and it doesn't match the rest of the car now but on its own it's not bad imho
Imagine you hit a pedestrian. It has literal spikes. It's bad enough being hit, let alone impaled
That's an awful lot of work to get a ticket. Even if it's not strictly illegal it's going to piss off a cop and get you a ticket for something.

I really hate these, the way the LEDs are wired makes it look terrible. Why would you have a sweeping turn signal with the gems, why not just solid. Not to mention those reverse lights look horrible too. The red looks okay at least.
They're in Russia, so the cops prolly don't care
Things made by people who don’t have to clean them.
I kinda like this my only question is how many places in the world would be legally allowed to drive this. Going of my country the UK I don't think the gavvers would allow it
They're in Russia, so I wouldn't be surprised if you could get away with it
This is badass
I also think it's pretty cool
Hey I found my people!
Right? It looks super cool! I’m wondering why all these people in the comments don’t like it!
I like the idea but the unevenness of the crystals bothers me.
Right? They just shit on anyone with outside the box creativity. Why? Because it's neat.
Compared to the ridiculous stupid shit you see on here, this is pretty cool, actually.
I like the texture the most. I bet you could tone it down a bit somehow and make some fun "practical" versions.
Yeah gambling with wether other drivers can see your signals by randombly putting a bunch of led strips behind crap with random geometry is so badass.
Backing up with that shit at night is going to suck
When you want your car to look like it has cancer
Those LEDs are gunna burn out in no time. No heatsink whatsoever and completely encased in epoxy lol. I would be surprised if they lasted long enough for you to get your Big Mac at the drive through.
These would be legal but are no longer reflective also they wouldn’t turn on with the brakes unless reworked to do so
If they have the proficiency to wire up LED strips to function as turn indicators, they probably have the proficiency to wire them up as brake lights too.
They are wired directly to the brake wiring of course they work with the brakes... add two small reflect ships and they are fine.
This would only be cool if the car was never supposed to be driven
Yo mr white do you like the upgrades to the whip
TIFU by failing my car inspection
My first thought was this is absolutely something a civic driver would do.
This feels like something that's going to take off in parts of Florida or Atlanta (like those trucks slammed in the back), but is generally laughed at by the majority of America.
“Sir, why are your lights so crusty?”
Truly ugly
When you need to realign your cars chakras
Ofc its a civic
That's as cool as f
It's a civic
It’s ugly
ATBGE
Damn that’s a lot of work for something so ugly
This is really cool and well thought out and executed. I don't get why it's in
Blauuugh!! Gross!! ..,. This is the best sub. Hilarious.
Honestly its functional so at this point its personal preference.
My only question is Why?
They think it looks good for some reason. It’s tacky as hell and honestly hideous
Looks fucking hideous!
This is when this car became Heisenberg
This is fucking stupid. I want my two minutes back.
Lol a large number of cars after 2010 are LED from factory so either your friend is lying or he fucked it up so bad it's insane...
I’ve definitely seen worse.
Imagine trying to clean those.
For when you want that corroded battery look
Discount Main Street Electrical Parade
Why does this gross me out in a similar manner to trypophobia 🤢
Legality aside, how would you clean that? Like you are going to need to scrub those lights with a toothbrush after every rain or mud splash to keep the light visible
Who is actually diy-ing this? It's so complicated, I couldn't do that myself, and wouldn't want to either
🎶Light Brite! Liiight Briite! Turn on the magical colored light!🎶
Is it to get pulled over quickly?
Do people really listen to this kind of music?
WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH?
Why did i watch this till the end?
I'm not gonna lie - I would probably do something this f**kin stupid and then regret it but keep it
Oh yeah. Those are real nice. Not shitty at all.
i will enjoy seeing how it looks like after a crash
Very underwhelming for all that work
Please tell me that this shit is not street legal in any country? :D
So THATS the blinker fluid
Becky power up the crystalmobile we have essential oils to sell
I Tell you some4hing: i trink this is actually quite cool ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I don't even try to edit this for typos. Being drunk in the morning is NOT as cool as you trink it might be.
They're not rocks. THEY ARE MINERALS MARIE!
Jesse we need to cook..
I would give -1000$ for this job
Gotta be honest, that's probably THE worst single car mod I've seen. And I've seen some shit
Idea isn't that bad just could have used something else
Think it deserves a repost on
Track name?? I know it’s Sean Kingston, but what’s the remix??
I got you fam. DJ Kantik, Teriyaki Boyz & Sean Paul - Temperature (Remix)
https://youtu.be/ou0phHbzz-0
That can't possibly be legal
Absolute bullshit for maniacs
Looks shite. Plus with the led strips epoxied in I'd be worried bout over heating and burning them out if driving for long periods iat night. Can't replace them handy. Fail from me
Looks like shit
Man. That's a whole lot of extra work to make your car look stupid.
This is the stupidest thing i have seen in weeks.
Ugly and illegal.
From close up it actually looks kinda cool, but once you get further away it becomes meh at best and ugly at worst
Yo mr white, let's glue some of our crystal in our tail lights
JESSE WE NEED TO COOK METH OR MY FAMILY IS GONNA DIE
All that work for that? Looks like absolute horse shit.
Nice fabrication skills, but this is awful , still a good craftsman. Just god damn this is hideous.
That’s super fkin lame lol can’t believe i watched the whole video
Of course it's on the world's most brown and vile civic
MORKITE!
The lack of headlight fluid has to be the worst part of this video. Look how dry those fixtures are!
I don’t care how unpractical and possibly illegal it is, that’s sick
Who needs TÜV anyway
All that work and it looks like dog shit. Huh.
Is this legally allowed???? 🤔
from blinking lights to the fucking police
DIWHYNOT
yeah naur that is DEFINITELY not street legal
civic owners i swear
I think it's a Geode Prism...
these kind of people shouldn't have access to money, or healthcare...or a liver
Once again I'm glad we have TÜV
To look cool I guess? But they did an awful job.
Looks ass
savevideobot
If someone doesn't cut the car and give me that part to hang on my wall
Jesus this ruined my week
Putting this on a Civic would be like trying to polish a turd
Now when you get onto an altercation you can smash their face on your lights 👉😎👉
What
A true DIWHY it’s so ugly
This could’ve been worse.
i am very sure it is illegal to drive with
Tüv sagt nein
I think this is actually a really solid idea, but for me personally I think covering it up with a slightly smoked enclosure would really make this look 100% imo
All that work for something that looks horrible.
My lord, it that (street) legal?
It would be better if it was on a more...nicer vehicle
They have the start of a cool mod and then they fuck it up by looking childish...
Walter White found another use for the meth he couldn't sell.
This feels more like DiWhyNot.
Things don't belong on this sub just because it doesn't fit your taste. There's a clear aesthetic reason for the diy and it's fairly well done
This would look alot better on something like a mustang or supra
This rocks
lol I don’t hate it
So you have to start all over when the LED strips die? Also maybe change the color of the car instead since it's poop brown from what I can see.
Me not impressed
This honestly came out better than I would have imagined it could have.
Honestly, i don't think its THAT ugly but i feel as it could have been differently. Instead of having the crystals on the outside of the car, they could have been smaller and just glued to the inside of the light housing. Protected from the outside and less work.
I yearn for the day diWHY users learn what an actual diy is
I mean, it's a craft that's being done yourself...
Ngl it kinda looks cool
I don’t love it, but this honestly feels less tacky than a lot of the things I’ve seen people do to their vehicles.
2nd time this week I lost some valuable time. What a piece of Junk.
This is the first post on this sun where I’m like “ok, not my aesthetic, but I can see it.”
I mean... this has potential to be cool if executed correctly.
Actually really cool
Is it bad that I kinda like it
Bro that is actually pretty dope lol
