DIY LED Tail Light Conversion Alfa Romeo GT

[@pistre14]

I don't own Alfa GT, I don't want to buy Alfa GT, but I needed to click and see this video, and man... great job !

@@arcgarage I love your videos. Very helpful thank you. Please could you make a video explaining how to change a pcv valve in an Alfa 147 2.0

I like things staying stock, but those tailights look great.

It is personal preference, but their shape is great, and these LEDs compliment them...

The Alfa GT is such a underrated beauty! The LED lights fit so well, kudos!

Agree, thanks

[@StanleyKubick1]

one of the best diy led conversions I've seen

[@arcgarage]

Thank you for your kind words buddy

[@manuelsolsona5795]

Impeccable work, fantastic result. I also like the original aesthetic, but I recognize the work well done and the result. Unreachable to do if you have no experience and above all, you don't have time. An exceptional job, congratulations.

[@arcgarage]

Thank you very much, cheers...

[@idarkftw1695]

Looks great man, you made it look so easy but only you know how many hours and nerves took it to make them this nice. Keep up the good work!

[@arcgarage]

Thanks a ton, and you are completely right. It took so much time, effort and nerves, even the search for the parts was unexpected hustle.

[@TheRealFobican]

This looks like something that fits my own taste of making mods for a car although the led turn signals should have been kept flashing as older ones did.

[@wellsyaknow]

They do flash? Sequential but still

[@Filipsss]

Amazing work bro!!! These lights make the car much more beautiful ✌️👌

[@arcgarage]

Thank you very much, I thinks so too...

[@puebespuebes8589]

Living proof that taillight, headlight are the only thing that matter in modern car design

[@Elgattou]

These DRLs give every car a modern glowup ..looks pretty good imo.

[@ismailbeygirci9394]

this just shows how timeless alfa romeo designs are. just modernized taillights makes the car look like new recently came out car

[@luntoinside]

Amazing job! Really lifts it. I would love to do this to my GT!

[@adventuresofsven2314]

I love it,sadly i barely understood how to do that because i have no experience to lights and other things you mentioned.I wish i could do what you did,but i need a LED video for dummies😊looks fantastic

[@USERNAME1-x5u]

I love it when in states like Florida and what not, the drivers will equip their cars with the flashing on and off bulbs that are on it's own independent on/off relay. Those bulb not only look stupid they also could cause an accident.

[@gilbriden12]

Awesome job and tutorial. I like how it’s a clean minimalist futuristic look. Might have to try this out on my rx7. Oem 93 isn’t cutting it anymore

[@arcgarage]

Thanks, those are the reasons I like it, think it would look great on rx7

I was thinking something similar for my Touareg. Awsome work, man!

It looks very cool. It's a level of quality that wouldn't be strange even if it was originally attached as a genuine product. The way it shines is very beautiful. I am watching this video from Japan.😉

[@theayatollahofrockandrollah]

screw the purists man looks absolutely amazing...I love you guys with the blue latex gloves and the soldering irons. Very patient and meticulous such great feel for little fiddly stuff. I bet you were great at making models and stuff when you were a kid. I unfortunately was the type of kid who could take everything apart but could never put it back together again. Didn't change while growing up...more power to you

[@arcgarage]

Thank you very much for support buddy

[@yomellamoberny]

I did that with my headlights, personally didnt want to brake the plastic so what I did was heat the seal and start peeling slowly and carefully without braking it, once done with the job I just put new seal plastic and job done.

[@arcgarage]

They can be hard to do, mine are sadly glued by silicone by previous owner...

[@nesco7615]

Bro that looks awesome I couldn’t have done that. It looks great.

[@arcgarage]

Thanks 👍

[@rato.cigano]

13:55 "The Taillights get mais brighter" LMAO you are portugues I already know it, nice job tho ! Looks good

[@Naotensvistoo]

não é

[@txomandimorais]

much brighter hahahaha tas todo perdido

[@Onimanius]

I would love to build something like that for my GT, because the Gt has an timeless design. Only thing i really think you could see the age of this car are its lights, so it was always a downside in astetics for me when i looked at my car. But here in Germany its impossible to get TÜV approval for this kind of modifications.... So you just can´t use them here like that, otherwise if the Police sees this, you had to pay a fine up to 500€ for not using original ones. So jeah its all great in Germany until you want to change things on your car, than its a mess.

[@hungryalien]

great job converting the taillights! looks awesome!

Boy ive own an alfa gt in Malaysia for years and ive always wanted to do this mod but just never dare to attempt. Thx dude!! YOU ARE AWESOME! Alfa parts in Malaysia is non existence and shipping is expensive! Love the lights bro really thinking if i want to try, but i got no knowledge on electrical 😬

[@arcgarage]

Thank you very much

[@svetko05]

Ive done the same on my GT. But in the end i didn't like how it looks on mine. Then I tinted dark the stock taillights and I like it a lot better.

[@Evan102030]

Not certain what to think of this. It looks amazing, but maybe it's not right for this car. But I love the channel, look forward to see what else you've done since.

[@arcgarage]

Thanks

[@Atomazersky]

Looks great! Can you put up a part list with links? Also does hot glue really work that well? I never thought of it being great for anything besides crafts.

[@arcgarage]

Thanks, don't have the links, bought the supplies from the guy in Italy, but if I find the links I will post them. When it comes to hot glue, this is a bit higher quality, with a higher melting point. The sticks are as hard as plastic, and they worked really well...

[@dusangt688]

Excellent job and enough details in explanation! I hope it is properly visible in daylight traffic circumstances... Additionally, maybe non-transparent foil reflective on inner side positioned on outer cover between LED stripes could make much more "contrast" light?

[@arcgarage]

Thanks, camera can't really do it justice. It has great visibility, even in daylight. The strips are red/yellow, so there is contrast between brake light and turn signal...

[@bornarazaviazarkhiavi8629]

looks great! you should do one on a 996 porsche 911 carrera

[@manuelsolsona5795]

Android device? how you connect to turn it off, with the wiring of the original radio?... my Android, it doesn't turn off, in the end I'll have to connect it to the lighter cable, how do you connect? My unit only works if I connect, the orange cable along with red at 12 volt constant (red car wiring): "ill" together too, but then, it does not turn off and start from the last app by touching the stereo switch (not boot logo...). I can't find any pin cable that cuts the power when removing the key...It drops down the battery. Ramon, eres Español?

@@arcgarage Thank you for your reply, But can you explain to me how to connect everything?

Does Europe not allow led compatible flasher relays? Here (US) all we do for non-led lit cars is replace the OEM relay with an led one. Automatically slows the timing and no huge, hot resistors to worry about.

They do, but they flash lights are not the only issue, other bulbs are reported on board computer, thus numerous resistors...
