Yessssss moreeeee moreeeee lol, I love anything with your work. I want to start a business one day with lighting, so I love watching literally ANY content 😬. I plan on in the next few weeks getting a ghotz module and I would love an updated video. I know there is plenty out there but just my 2 cents lol. Love the content though 👌🏾
Thanks!! That’s awesome let me know how it goes!
If you haven’t found Flyryde videos yet he has A ton of diy video on custom lighting. And he digs in deep.
Doesn’t post much anymore but the videos are still and are helpful
@@zaccook YES I literally obsessed over his content and still rewatch for great tutorials. I plan to buy his beginners course soon when I’m able. Thanks so much for the reply 😬
When you are plastic welding you can add plastic, insted of just move the housing plastic, just get a large zip tie and need adding some plastic as you need
Oh true!! I definitely need to add that in the videos as pro tip!
Yeah that’s what I do especially when using the dremel with the diamond cutting wheel the cut is a bit larger so the adding plastic to the plastic weld definitely helps fill gaps! I was thinking of doing these tails next! Can you make a in-depth process to the flow series led harness for tails?
What did you do to replace the LEDs? Or did you put stock board back in. Also for the strips did you put them right against the diffusion piece or did you somehow create a gap
It does work for oem lights!
Alright I have the back cut off this subispeed tail. And the inner schells seems to be molded in? Buttt after watching this again I have a gen 1 set. There are only 4 screws
Do you have any tips when opening miata tail lights?
I have several how to open miata tail light videos
How did you seperate the inner housing to paint it ?
The bolts that we unscrewed release the housing
@@zaccook so I got the back half off. But I can’t get the front half off ? To paint it
Could you make a video on this portion trying to clear these same tail lights. Dont want to damage them
Iv been having issues with these subie speed tails with the permaseal inside and the inside housing actually being stuck to the lens any tips?
thats the worst! ive seen that a few times unfortunately you'll have to just heat up the permaseal to release the house. unless its like the gen coupe spec ds in that case we don't even take the inner housing out because its not worth it.
Where do u get the clear lens?
bought a set that had a clear lens
