    That's pretty awesome buddy. The other lights you did came out amazing. I'd love to do a custom set on my truck. I havent seen an aftermarket set that I like enough to buy.
    Ideally I'd like red, amber, clear lenses, like the old days but with LED tubes. I like that old school look but want the new tech lighting. So for now and probably for ever I'll have stock lights with tinted vinyl. Oh well they are okay

    So the trick is to look at aftermarket lights you can pull apart and change with what you want in mind. I found led tubes on ebay that are red drls and amber sequential turns. My brain has been going thinking of how to use those in some taillights. They would look so kickass.

    I like the way you think. Good idea, premade parts that you can put together into a housing I like. Hmmm.

    Tomorrow, the area where the clear lens goes will be masked off and painted Barcelona Red.
    Painting the surrounding area of the chrome, black (behind the red lens) creates a pretty cool look. (Pic 3 before, pic 4 after)A2659224-41A7-424D-BBE1-804E4D9E8FFB.jpgAB11DB6E-05AE-49D6-A196-3468790F39ED.jpgCE1E4A25-C5EE-45AE-8F04-B5706F0E840E.jpg CE22B0CD-92CF-43D3-8811-7DC18CA82B2A.jpg

    Maybe grab some cheapies to practice first? I just went for it, it’s scary as hell but way easier than I made it out to be. Go for it! You can do it!

    Damn, I like this way too much you’re making me want to try it on my stock tails. Kinda wanting to take my aftermarkets off and go a diff route. Do you have a write up on your painting process? Or maybe I missed it earlier in the posts. Hurry up and finish already I need to see the end result LOL ;)

    After disassembled, the chrome buckets get clear coated, otherwise the chrome will come off wherever you mask (it’s super thin). The buckets stay chrome for reflective purposes. I mask the inside of these and paint the whole outer area with plastic safe black. It gets clear coated again so I can mask off the backup light bucket. Then the red, then clear again. I’ll include more pics when I do the backup lights today.

    Imagine these on a black truck. You can do these pretty much for the cost of a couple cans of spray paint.

    Mounted on my truck before sealing up and delivery. Still need a few adjustments. Barcelona Red tails are sealed and complete.

    I like like the way they look but that's about it.
    The light output ain't great, the beam pattern is weird for sure, but seems i got lucky with mine since there's sets out there with way worse output. The leveling is finicky, and the warranty sucks so i really wouldn't recommend them. Only got them on a whim since I liked the way they looked and saw that there was a version 2 which fixed some issues from version 1...they're still bad. On the plus no condensation issues.
    Still not worth $600 though. I'll be swapping them out as soon as i can for something else.

    Well it’s gonna be a week till I get pics of the Barcelona Reds on the truck, so here’s a peek of the Blue Ribbons going on my truck. Projectors, Porsche Panamera shrouds and HIDs on their way. Went with gloss black on the housings.73A4005F-85DC-4E25-9BC7-288D43B28487.jpg7D0E1C4C-0FD8-45B0-8666-3F6F75F13CC0.jpg5F120F55-1628-4A31-BF0D-2386658A46B6.jpg

    Could you link to what DRL bars you purchased? Thanks in advance. This gives me the balls to try and do my own. Thanks so much for documenting this brother.

    You’re welcome! These are on the blue ones. I didn’t really like the other tube lights on the reds, but you can find those on Amazon too. The new ones, I removed the sticky strip so you could see the individual leds (I like em). The other bars show a constant stream of light. So it’s up to you. Both can be shortened to your needs.

    Holy shit those came out great! Nice job man. Your patience and attention to detail is admirable. You now have the best looking lights here and I bet the output is sick too. Congrats.
