What do you all think of the lights?
SW20 cheers dude 👍
I always thoughd the toyota mr2 spyder was ugly. Absolutely love the mr2 mk2 but didn't like the spyder. I absolutely love yours though
And I will "Blatantly" steal your idea too, haha. Lights are awesome! Thanks!
As an owner these cars rock stock. My wife and I are going to purchase a spare to modify. I like yours looks
Lee, I nearly cried when I saw your video :( I thought that somebody was selling these somewhere and I'd just be able to buy a pair!!! (no access to anything LIKE your tools / workshop, etc)
"Anyone attempting this, I'm assuming you've got a little bit of knowledge."
Aha, that's where you're wrong!
5 years later I’m still impressed!!!
You could sell them on ebay, if I had an mr2 I would definitely buy them :D
I love how you show exactly everything that you did instead of just making us wonder like i see in most videos. Keep up the awesome videos spyder Lee!!!
Everything you do is bang on mate. These lights look incredible and your car is a awesome do it yourself supercar.
Can't believe all the people saying "this is too hard, please make me a set". Nut up and watch this and the other video. Your description is complete and to the point. Anyone with basic hand tools and a soldering iron can follow this and make their own kool led tails.
Cheers dude. For me it was time consuming more than difficult
what the hell thats the cleanest mr2 ive ever seen
Found your channel by accident, and have just watched several in succession today. I have been looking at changing the lights on my MG F, and I think I will now see if I can adapt your technique to my car. Keep up the good work fella, you have yourself a new subscriber 👍
Thanks 😀. It’s a good result but not sure if I’d do it again, a lot of work.
I was having trouble deciding whether i want to buy miata or spyder. This is so inspiring and your car is so beautiful ive decided mr2
Great video! Thanks for showing the working light at the beginning unlike most UA-camrs that make us watch through the whole video before showing the finished part at the end! Subscribed and now I want an MR2!
wow, they look so much better than the original !!
Thank you! I was searching what these nw gen LED tail lights are called so I could do something with my new Cafe racer project and now I have all the answer I was looking for! thank you soo much Lee!
Cheers no prob 👍
I'm sure you already know this, but you sir have the most awesome Spyder in the world and I'll fight anyone who begs to differ! thanks for taking the time to share all of your information with us! keep up the good work!
I must say I like what I see. And so good production value, but only 1k subs HOWW ??? You deserve better!
Lexvox LP cheers mate. 😎
Very helpful. Will be consulting a friend for the electrical wiring 😆
Lee that looks absolutely stunning mate! I've just literally started getting into these. You've given me some great inspiration there and what to do when I pick my new one up hopefully soon.
I did the led rings a couple years ago. Did mine with rings over that little stock lens. Problem is when one of the leds on the rings go out. I've had to change mine 3x now. But looks great
man oh man. I been watching your videos and i have to say your car is beautiful and your work you do with it!
Really nice video - You’ve inspired me to try it out!
It looks so sick man! I can’t wait to see the progress
Alex Johansson got loads planned, wish I had more time. 😁
Beautiful and impressive work . Not for the weak of heart.
The Most Ariel cheers dude, yeah loads of work. I've still got the second one to do 😐
That’s a pretty cool car.
Amazing work! You are an artist!!
Man this was so clear and well explained. good job and thank you for sharing it ;)
InBoostWeTrust7MGTE thanks, I wasn’t sure if it would be clear 🤔
Yea sure you could get load resistor or you could just get the updated blinker relay that is set for leds. Just saying.
Acrylic and specifically window tint will hold up to prolonged heat
Great video. Thanks. Perhaps its the British accent that makes it seem so easy? Will be doing some LED-ing on my 69 Dodge Charger
Looks awesome! Thank you for explaining how you did this. What kind of led strips did you use? That's the part I'm trying to figure out
when i see your video, you looks great, because you know how to create or modify. I wish i can own one also.
Thanks
thanks for sharing your knowledge !
👍😀
i have a normal 1993 mr2 the 2 version of the car in my opinion the best version XD great vid btw
Awesome job, the link for those led strips isn't working anymore, I'm keen to get some!
If you search tube led drl it should pull something up 👍
Can you make a video on how to change the color of the dash cluster? Trying to get blue just like yours
Dang, none of the links are working anymore and i was hoping there was a diode link as well because I've never used them. Great video tho.
Great accent and enjoyed every bit of the video
Brand new here, new 2003 spyder smt. Post up good ideas and if you don't mind I'll copy someday. Love those headlight/taillights mods. Very nice car too!
oscar franco cheers, you can copy all my ideas ... 👍😁
Curious, why did you have to paint the housing black for the tail lights? What was the advantage?
Love the videos keep up the good work. Nice lights btw. My first car is toyota mr2 spyder 2004 2zz turbo
Martin Leander Høynes nice first car 😁
Brilliant vid 👍
Did you have any issues with the MOT? Fog lights are supposed to be 100mm away from any brake light which I guess these aren't since they're the same element. The fog lamp also isn't allowed to be lit up by any other means which I guess it also is since it acts as a brake light too.
Trying to design my own for my AW11 MR2 but can't find a way around this legally.
The best way to do it for me it seems is to pair up the fog with the position lights as they're allowed to be a shared light source. They still won't be 100mm away but that's not in the MOT Tester's Guide Book.
Do you know what length led tube lights you used? Also my car doesn’t have the fog lights, is it possible for the brake lights to just brighten all 4 strips instead of just 2?
Sorry I can remember what length I used. They were 2 strips cut into 4 though, I remember that bit. I’m sure I just got the longest I could. You can make them brighten all 4 if you want. Just wired a little different
fucking awesome. looks factory. I'm gonna try this with my cobalt ss, thanks so much for the ideas man!
No prob. They are actually still working well.
wow that looks incredible
metalhead arno cheers... just finishing up the other side 😁
I need a link for that spoiler plz. Also all the light stuff
SpyderLEE I was wondering if you could help me out with a bit of wiring. I decided to try using 6 led tube lights on each side rather than the two halo rings. I would like all of the strips to turn on and off for the brake lights, turn signals and parking lights. I’m not sure what resistors to use, what I’m thinking is having the brake lights be full power and the turn signals and parking lights be half power so that when they are both on they are at full power. I’m also not sure if it would be too much power to have the turn signals, parking lights and brake lights all on at the same time. If that’s the case I may just want to have the brake lights be resisted to half power also as I always have my parking lights on when I drive because of my halo rings in the front.
I don't usually like the MK3 but that thing is beautiful. Im on to my 4th MK2 and would love to LED my tails. Nice to see a brit making some decent vids. Subbed from Geordie Land ;)
I’m trying very hard to make the mk3 cool lol. It’s a long road.
ever thought about doing some for your T5 camper as well...? i meen, that would look super on there :)
Have you used the lights on public roads / passed MOT with them? There's a minimum distance (I believe 10cm, but don't quote me) to respect between brake and fog lights to not confuse the two, I don't think you have sufficient gap... Also, I used those ring LEDs for daytime lights before and they started flickering within a month, I had to disconnect them. Good thing that car was old enough to not require DRLs...
You are amazing. This is genius nice creativity
looks awesome ! but what about the bobbies?
Looks incredible! If I wanted to do this as well, should I buy the red tubes or the white tubes? There are color options on Ebay, and I am worried that the white light through the red lens will create a pink effect.
awwww..... there was me hoping that those were available commercially!
Nicely done!
Looks great and modern
Jamie A cheers 👍
Nice! :D It has a very exotic look to it!
You are a clever man !! Indeed.
Thanks a lot.
well explained, thanks
Very nice review and job .
Great video! How did these hold up over the years? I'm doing something similar to my '01 Celica but I'm a bit nervous sending an unrestricted wire for the brake light, have they burnt out? Also you mentioned that the strips are rated for .25 watts, now I'm questioning this ebay seller if it's actually 20 watts like it states lol
Nice video i may do this but idk if i have the time to
Have you thought about making these to sell?!! If not, please do 👍🏻
They aren’t professional enough to be a saleable item.
@@SpyderLEE I do think that they are good enough for enthusiasts to buy. As we know that unless they are mass produced, they will have their quirks. I think they are fantastic. If you ever want to test make some for a SW20, I'll send you my lights!
I swore it was Kevin James. I know you've heard it a million times.
Please sell them on ebay.
they show all the job after is done but they skip some of the process and they never give the information where to get the accessories for you to do your own lights
Thank you sir for inspiring me
Mate...awesome!!! Very nice. But what kind of a spoiler is that on the mr2? And what is that white stuff that you bend in shape and put unto the led strip?
T van B hi mate, theres a link in the description for the white strip I got off eBay, I've ditched the spoiler for one much better, look out for the video 😉
Nice
Elegant sir
Why no sequential indicator?
Yeah would have been much cooler!
Brilliant. Cheers
keep making video i really like them
Ouafa sidi baba thanks 😎
Your car is so nice man. What are you recording with? Might pick one up for my videos!
Spoolie ST cheers dude, I use a lumix g85 there a full list of gear in the description 😁
Finally got all the parts and am trying out this amazing mod. Is that file available to print those brackets?
I know I’m late
But how did it go?
I just bought an MR2 and would pay you for these
wow now that's real nice love it
Chris Ggeorgiou cheers mate 😎
Thinking of getting a mr2 spyder for 1st car, should i?
No reason why not.. nice little car easy to drive, easy to maintain, cheap to repair. Just take it steady first few weeks as you probably learnt to drive in a front wheel drive car. Rear wheel drive handles and drives different. 👍
Me to. To bad I'm nearly 16 and in europe you need to be 18 to drive (and drink). That besides there is no way I can afford one as soon as I'm 18, I'll probably be at least 19 before I can get my own car :(
Yes, best choice you would ever make.
Lee class as allways I don't know what way to go with my mr2 2zz or turbo what do you think it seems hard to get a turbo kit in the uk
PARCHY64 to be honest, it all depends on future plans. If your happy at 200 ish bhp then it’s totally personal preference, they are about as fast as each other. Some people like high rev screaming, some people like turbo whistle. Plenty of turbo kits come up for sale on the Facebook groups. And plenty of 2zz’s about. Turbo kit easier to get 250bhp without spending much money. 2zz turbo will see you over 300. More than 350 ish and it’s irrelevant which you have as both will need forging.
where can i find the brackets for leds??
Great job thx for explaing it
Looks class
Dylzhaar thanks 😁
Wicked idea and great tutorial thanks.
Your light strips on the LH side are not straight bro
Yeah sorted now 👍
Ur a genius 👏ty so much
Back lights look good, front lights don’t compare with the later version
hi, can you give a new link to the LED Tube lights as it doesn't work. Thanks
Just type DRL tube light into eBay there’s a load that pops up 👍
Is there any way I can get you to make me some for my 00 toyota mr2 spyder I'll pay for labor, lights and shipping?
is this legal?
Wow! I did the same thing a couple years ago to the rings on my 03' except I went over the top of those inner lenses. Thinking about going back in and doing something like the bottom part you did. I have the 03 head lights and just painted the inner housing satin black and added strips and a single RGB Ring to the small projector. I can change the colors by remote. Also made my own lens and tinted smoke with film. I need to update the latest pics, but Check it out here: www.carstereo.com/installs/photo_gallery_album.cfm?home=yes&photoid=75167&galleryid=6363I also did a 3rd break light conversion and fiberglass sub enclosure for a single 10" sub in the pass side storage behind the seat. The entire build on it all is at that link. Love what you've done so far!
R W cheers dude I’ll have a look 👍
I can't not hear King Robert Baratheon off GoT...
Can you make me some? I’m cash ready,paypal,whatever
MR-Ses are ugly as shit, you made it look beautiful. Thank you. 🙏
By the way if you're reading this comment (yes, you, not only the author of this video), don't get triggered if your opinion's different, I respect it. Aaand I'm saying it here, 'cause I want to avoid wasting my time replying this thing to someone. Have a nice day.
By the way, new subscriber :)
They look cool but i can tell they are poor quality. Theyre not even as bright or brighter than stock halogen cause you used cheap china smd leds. You can see the big difference in brightness when you press the brake lights. The halogens are much more intense. Make sure to use quality leds, preferably cree for maximum brightness and life. Thats suppose to be the perks of leds. Brighter, longer life and draws less power.
can i buy these from you directly? take my wallet~❤️
OMG
Ruff as had to stop watching
I'm sure you already know this, but you sir have the most awesome Spyder in the world and I'll fight anyone who begs to differ! thanks for taking the time to share all of your information with us! keep up the good work!
Forest Hudson cheers dude 😁
