3:00 I have been studying the Delorean Tail Lights, & I want to tell you something that no other Delorean owners know about in the U.S. or Europe! Someday, I will tell everyone! The LED bulbs are not designed to replace the incandescent bulb since they can not reproduce light 360 degrees or 3 Dimensional inside the housing & onto the reflector, to evenly distribute light through the lens optics & fully fill the lamp housing with light for maximum lighting output. This is the science of photometrics & why LED bulbs do not work correctly in a lamp housing made for an incandescent bulb. I can see in your tail lights, shadows & bright spots inside your rear tail lights..... The best & most technological bulb that was ever made to replace the 1157 & 1156 style of bulb used for the Delorean front & rear lights, was a bulb made specially for Honda by Stanley Electric of Japan. These bulbs are very well engineered by Stanley Electric only for 1991-2000 Honda......... Use Honda Bulbs for front & rear lights for better visibility & safety. Honda 34906-SL0-A01 Bulb, (12V43/3Cp) Honda 34903-SF1-A01 Bulb, (12V 45CP) The genuine Honda bulb, Must be marked Stanley Japan! Also, in the center tail light, remove the top diffuser lens that is attached onto that inside/inner lens insert. The top lens is called a Reflex/Retro-reflector & was by mistake by Lotus who designed & manufactured the tail lights for Delorean. By removing the top lens from the inserted lens which looks like this ( \_ ) you will have more even light output. If you want to add external Retrorelective Tape for safety & for Japan safety lighting regulations, there are types of Black Color Retroreflective tape that can be applied to the black plastic tail light lens frame, or apply Black Retroreflective Tape over the black body moulding. It is also a good idea to cut open each reflector from the rear of the tail light & use a good quality aluminum - chrome spray paint to restore the reflector for most light output. Also, paint inside of the center reflector with aluminum paint, or use aluminum foil that is used for cooking & apply to rear of center light to make a reflector that is missing from the original design to make it brighter. This will restore the aluminum reflector coating that has deteriorated & is 45 years old. 😋 Also be sure your electrical grounds & 12v supply & connections are very good. Also be sure to upgrade the alternator to a high performance alternator which many Delorean owners do.

Thank you for the wonderful information. Share information with Japanese owners to upgrade Delorian. I respect the depth of your passion and love for Delorean.

@deloreanallday4897 Happy you got my info. It applies to any older car that uses metallized aluminum reflectors & others that used vapor deposited aluminum starting in the 1980's but even that aluminum coating oxidizes microscopically at a photometric level after 20-30yrs. & loss in reflectance. Newer cars vapor deposited aluminum reflectors have an optically clear silica coating applied during manufacturing. There are companies that do restore these coatings but not worth the expensive cost vs. using high solids micro powder aluminum chrome like spray paint. The trick is to have a bright color aluminum color but diffuse & dull reflector, not a mirror finish. Best to take #OOOO fine steel wool to both give a shiny but dull finish so as to not have a mirror reflection of the bulbs filament & create hot spots of light shinning thru the lens. Another trick is to use a hobby sand blaster to finely etch the top of the bulb to further soften the look of the bulb & look of the very bright filament. The goal is too make even light shinning thru the lens optics!!!!!!😎. For example... look at this other Stanley Electric of Japan bulb that is so bright, it uses an applied opaque ceramic coating too diffuse the bright light from the filament that would make a bright spot of light coming thru the lens! 😎😂This is another bulb that could work, but will also draw more electrical amps. & also will have more heat if used contantly. You will need to upgrade the wiring to the lights & be sure it doesn't run too hot inside each lamp housing. The bulb is Stanley BP4825W 12V 35W/5W NO3. This same bulb is made by Stanley & called Raybrig R115 12V 35W/5W. There is another way to use an acid etch glass to dull the top of the glass bulb. I am sure it might be sold in Japan. Its used for hobby industry & is called Amour Etch Glass Etching Creme. I would first use the better Honda bulb I list above as it was specially designed to meet Honda's engineering specifications! The best idea & modification for safety for the Delorean tail lights, was to make All 3 lights work as both running marker lights & brake lights so everyone can see the Delorean at night, just like you also did!😎 Another couple of ideas I had was to either install an amber bulb inside the Reverse Light & also wire-it into the turn signal, to have 2 Rear Turn Signal Lights! 😎 Or use amber lens spray paint to make a Reverse Light amber in color! The special lens paint is made in Japan called: Vans Orange Lens Spray Paint by Dia-Wyte LTD. This paint could also be used to maybe paint the Honda bulb I mentioned previously & would need tested for heat, but if used to tint/paint a bulb used for the turn signal bulb used to convert the Reverse Lights into extra Turn Signal Lights, I think it would be o.k. since those bulbs would not build up too much heat!!!! Or there is also Amber/Orange film to apply onto the car lens's to change the Clear Reverse Lights lens into Amber! Then you will need to figure out a complicated wiring technique to make both rear Turn Signals & now amber Reverse Lights, work both as Amber Reverse Lights & Turn Signals!!!!! Probably the use of relays & diodes isolating turn signal from reverse lights. Amber Reverse Lights are legal in some states in the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, & maybe Japan for older cars. Or, you can find a similar device like this very bright hidden Reverse Light called : VLEDS LP-R Reverse Light Plate Light Bar! Its very bright! I think I might buy DeloreanTail Lights & make videos to show Delorean owners what to do in Lighting Modifications! 😎😋😋😋😎 Maybe some day I will buy a Delorean, but my health is bad..... If I can explain any of what I wrote if it is confusing, I will try.

I'm looking forward to the video you created. Please leave a comment when you are done.
Hello from america! I'm surprised that there are delorean owners in japan. Because japanese cars are famous for their reliability and practicality. A delorean is just the opposite

Hello.There are a few people in Japan who love cars like this. However, the love is very deep lol

@@deloreanallday4897 I understand. I am a delorean owner as well. My family all have Hondas and toyotas. They don't understand it. Its a deep love for the car.

Honda and Toyota are also great companies. However, efficiency is not the only appeal of cars. Have a good DeLorean life together!

How long have you owned your car for? Ive had my delorean for about a year now. Do you find it to be reliable ?
@deloreanallday4897 Жыл бұрын
It's been 4 years since I bought DeLorean. A lot of breakdowns have occurred so far. The DeLorean is a defective car, so many individuals have some kind of breakdown. If you leave it unattended, you will not be able to drive or you will have to pay a lot of repair costs. Have a reliable mechanic inspect it and repair it continuously. Above all, it is important for yourself to understand the structure of DeLorean.

@deloreanallday4897 I agree. I live in Seattle, USA. My mechanic is Toby Peterson. Maybe you've heard of him. He is famous in the delorean community and he makes and sells many upgade parts for the car. I know about all the problems of the car but I still love it. It is surprising to me that there are delorean owners in japan, because japanese cars are famous for reliability and efficiency and a delorean is just the opposite. It is a car you truly have to love to own.
This sound track is amaaaazing, really can lead you towards a focused status, a good companion for mentally demanding tasks, Thanks DJ まめぴよ!!! Wonder if you can make a 52 minutes version as well lol
