DIY Harley Davidson F150 taillamp mod Part 2

[jongio44]

Hey man nice work to your truck. I was wondering if its the same process for the front. also did you make a DIY video for the front?

[DarrenWS6]

Yes I did. Every light on this truck was painted black inside to give a darker appearance. I recently have ditched these for a deep smoked set and a smoked LED brake light though.

[kipp3r84]

did you paint your headlights too?? looks good all black and saves alot of money on the aftermarket appearance. nice job on the step by step vids btw, cheers man

[gst69man]

nice job, nicely made vid. Thanks

[RUSS1AN]

Nice job man and great diy guide! Looks great. Can't wait to have some free time to do this. What type of LED bulb are you using for the reverse light and did you have to install a LED bulb resistor? Thanks again for this great diy.

[DarrenWS6]

@RUSS1AN Thanks man. They are Hyper White 3156 40LED bulbs. Bought them off ebay in 2008, cant find the 40 LED on there anymore but 40 is the max that will fit. Mine barely fit inside. Look for a 20 or 30 3156 LED bulb.

[DarrenWS6]

@RUSS1AN and no resistors were needed. Plug & play

Looks Great Darren I can't wait to do mine!

[DarrenWS6]

@carolinaboy3242 Thanks man. I'm doing a set for John ( TruckGuy24 ) and just about to re-seal.

[carolinaboy3242]

@DarrenWS6 Nice! He'll like them for sure

[nascarchevy24]

Nice job darren that was tedious. Looks really good too.

[DarrenWS6]

@nascarchevy24 Thanks. Its more for the Ford guys so you gotta be interested to follow up with it, but it is a good project capable on many of many other vehicles. I wanna see a 03+ Silverado with this done. Those tails are pure clear lens.

[akvortec53]

I can say I learned something new. I didn't know that you had to heat them up in the oven.

[DarrenWS6]

@akvortec53 Yeah, to heat up and weaken the silicon the oven does it safest. A Hairdryer is a joke, and a Heatgun will melt it. And obviously, using prying force will break the lens.

[akvortec53]

I can't see spending that much time on doing that mod. But it looks great after all!!

[DarrenWS6]

@akvortec53 lol thanks Ron. It took no longer than a suspension lift would, but it was time consuming, I had a whole day at least.

[tuffnugly454]

Very professionally done Darren! Excecuted with care and well thought out.

[mifan93]

that is a fuckin bad ass truck!!!!!!

[DarrenWS6]

@mifan93 Thanks, lots more to come this year.

[mifan93]

@DarrenWS6

Awsome!!!!

[scotts01Z71]

Good job Darren! Your patience payed off! Thumbs up! I think your right about the hole In the bottom of the light. It's for a strobe light on emergency vehicles.

[DarrenWS6]

@scotts01Z71 Thanks man, yeah thats what i'm thinking too. The tape covers a tiny little hole. Could enlarge it and put a red LED in there and splice it in to act as a side marker.

[f150man55]

darren stop doing such creative shit, and yes i would be afraid to try it because im not that patient! so i would tape off half assed and screw everything up

[DarrenWS6]

@f150man55 hahah. Yeah it took a bit of patience. Hows my yankee voice? hahah

[f150man55]

@DarrenWS6 well i had it muted..haha jk man, you should move down here and getcha a little southern accent haha

[f150man55]

@DarrenWS6 i once met a girl from Boston MA and she wouldnt stop talking about the way i talked..and im thinking "bitch the way you talk is driving me crazy please stop before i kill you!"

[DarrenWS6]

@f150man55 figures haha. If thats even possible to pick up on it lol, i'd probably be suck with my northern self.

[f150man55]

@DarrenWS6 lol idk if you can pick it up or not. you might get killed by a buncha hill billys though hahaha

[yarun0]

look great darren you should do like a before and after thing

[DarrenWS6]

@yarun0 thats basically what these videos are haha, they were too long and its limited to 10min videos. I'll link a thread in description to my photo write up.
