Making DIY LED Tail Lights for my Honda Beat

I've been wanting to make custom LED tail lights for our Honda Beat for so long and I'm glad we finally got around to finishing them. We went for a modern, VIP style tail light design and even made a new lens to complete the look!

Great video. What a ton of work. Results look great, very unique. I've never met a car guy that wants to build a car identical to someone else's. (Excluding movie prop cars.) That butyl tape is interesting stuff. Mahalo for sharing! : )

There's a lot of car that look the same tbh, especially some FRS/GR86/BRZ builds or some WRX build

You should fix your reverse lights they are tinted red and that's not legal and will probably confuse people. The turn signals being red is ok but not ideal

[@friescustomfabriction3016]

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to do this, you gotta have white reverse lights. Other than that, great build and the final result looks great. Though id definately go with the second revision you mention in the video. I personally prefer seperate amber turn signals. The combo turn and brake lights add ambiguity to the system. Not to mention in europe you have to have amber turn signals anyway

[@OkammakO]

Easy fix, just remove the reverse gear from your transmission.

[@aHotdogThatComments]

for reverse light, you can install external white light at the back.

[@22Epic]

who use reverve ?

[@y.k.7737]

If you're in Europe, don't even think about it. It's not checked whether your lights fulfill the requirements but whether they are approved for this kind of car which can cost tens of thousands of dollars

[@tnast]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR! There's so many videos out there that talk about making custom taillights, but none of them ever outline the entire process start to finish. They're always either using premade parts, or only talk about the tech or removing/installing the lens. Truly incredible work, and I applaud you for showing and reflecting upon your mistakes. Keep it up!

Thanks for watching all the way!

[@morpheon_xyz]

For someone who's planning on doing a custom job on my own car, this has definitely been an informative video regarding the process and things to keep in mind. Mine will however be much more complex, but that's exactly why something like this helps a lot. Thank you

[@IMEEMADE]

Happy building!

[@sean640]

Did you get around to it yet?

[@morpheon_xyz]

@@sean640 almost there. Decided to go with 3D printing instead as my other options just didn't accommodate my requirements and the design style I'm going for. Just ordered my 3D printer the other day, plus I also already got the LEDs I'll be testing to accommodate the changes, so the prototyping continues. Also worked on the code for the Arduino / ESP32 that'll add customization for "show mode", so I'm excited to report that progress is being made. I'll outsource the lazer cutting of acrylic sheets to a contact of mine once I've got the majority of the design done. Once the rear is done I'll rework the front as I went with 7" jeep lights and a single debadged grille for my Mk1 golf in the meantime

I really like this. Personally I would've used less leds for regular tail lights and then used more for the brake portion. That way it's easier for cars behind you to know when you're braking. Too small of a brake light can be really hard to notice.

[@jackass123455]

you can add resistors to "dull" the driving lights and with a diode can even use the same string of leds for both brake and driving creating a "high /low intensity" setting

Worked out better than I expected, this is something I’ve wanted to try for ages. There are ways you can get white and orange to show through a red lens, lots of modern cars pull this off, I believe there’s a colour filter over the LEDs to cancel out the red. Good work 👍👍

[@Hachiro]

I used that oven trick to replace the lens on my car's headlights. I messed up when restoring them, and decided to just buy some aftermarket replacements. They were so cheap that I couldn't align them correctly. (The beam was too high) So I just swapped the new clear lens onto the original headlight assembly. Works perfectly, and the headlights looked brand new :D

[@Tonisuperfly]

I was about to buy new tail lights for my trailer because the plastic lenses are broken and it's cheaper to buy new led tail lights than it is to buy replacement lenses. I have plenty of clear acrylic pieces and it never occurred to me to heat and shape them until I saw your video. I'm sure I can find an easy enough way to colour them. Thanks for shining a light on a free fix using materials I already have!

Being an auto sparky and a nut for my own car; this video really helps outline a lot of the steps needed to make well, custom LED light houses.

Black acrylic could also work, giving that same dark taillight look whilst retaining the colours of the LEDs beneath it, although do note that the LEDs have to be significantly brighter in that case.

[@raynjpg]

Always been pretty fascinated by custom tail lights. I have a pair of custom tail lights for my truck, but I bought them pre-made. They look pretty good, but there's nothing better than custom making stuff to be exactly as you want it. Next car I get, I'm gonna be doing something like this.

The main issue is that all of your lights are red. White for reversing and orange/amber for signals is as you said the better way.

I didn't know this car existed, thought it was a custom built CRX after seeing that clip in the beginning. Then I googled "Honda Beat" and saw what I'd never heard of before. Looks like an EG6/Del Sol hybrid. I own an 88' CRX Si with the JDM 90-91' tails and bumpers. :) Most of the mods are interior, like power windows, a really high quality carpet, custom floor mats with the red "CRX Si" stitching in the middle that looks stock, alarm, humble audio setup. The mod I'd love to do the most is retrofit some HID projectors in there like I did on my daily but I'd have to find a way to grind off enough of the fluting on the glass and polish so as to allow the beam pattern to come out as intended with that sharp, colorful cutoff like the Morimotos on my daily. I'll get to it sometime...

Im going to reuse the clear lense already on the housing and tint it, and use amber halo for the indicators and red and white for the other lights, the only thing i need to figure out is rear fog as rear fog lights are mandatory on all cars in the UK so I need to either re use the original fog bulb which can just stay where it is and have a halo around it, or just use an LED for it. I'm not sure of the legality of it as its a grey area as it would pass an MOT technically. But it's definitely going to be a fun project to do, thanks for the inspiration!

Great video! I love how approachable this is for mild DIYers such as myself (I’m always in the lookout for me to get into more extreme projects). Out of curiosity do you think you might modify your new LEDs to use clear reverse lights? I’m curious how one would go about that if yes. Also the old housings are pretty reflective when not lit up, is there a good way to add reflective material (let’s say between the LED strips) for safety like when the car is parked?

[@alastairwatson3201]

Personally, I would’ve left the lights original. That said, what you did was very, very clever! I’m extremely impressed with the way you did the mod and your video skills, too.

[@jw11432]

I really like your process. I think a couple of improvements could be made in how this was done though: 1) When forming your lens, perhaps building a vacuum former would be ideal. I've seen some made that use melamine boards, pegboard, a shopvac and silicone to achieve. Then you could get a much closer fit. It could even be worthwhile to consider making a negative template from your original lens for your new lens material so that you get an exact duplicate rather than a slightly oversized one. 2) Instead of using foil tape to secure your light separators, maybe make some posts, secured with epoxy or CA glue for those channels to attach to (via a hole and nut, or some other fastener). This, I think, would be more secure to temperature changes, whereas foil tape, I don't know how well it does. It could be an ideal tape, I'm admittedly ignorant about this product. So this suggestion I assign with an asterisk. 3) The separators don't have as straight of a line as I would like to see personally, so perhaps some c-channel aluminum or even PVC pipe split down the middle? I think this could provide much more uniform and straight lines. Again, I love your process. Very creative and it shall be stored in my brain for potential future projects.

Looks great, you may want to try polycarbonate / lexan instead of acrylic from a functional standpoint. It's not as clear looking and gets slowly sun damaged, but it It has far better impact resistance and won't shatter. Most factory headlights use polycarbonate or actual glass, if a rock were to hit an acrylic lense hard enough it could crack and shatter into pieces, although it's more likely on a headlight and not a tail light. Polycarbonate can still crack and scratch but it's far stronger than acrylic and is more shatter resistant.

W stands for Water ingress. If the lamps doesn't have any other seals where they mate up to the chassis you have to either seal the old circular openings where bulbs used to go or cut a drain in the taillight body

Bro, this is some of the most brilliant and creative crafting ive seen in a long time! I would have never even thought of doing something like this. Well fucking done my man!

[@IMEEMADE]

Thanks for watching brother!

thanks for this video i had tried something similar but couldn't think of how to make the lense in a way that would fit the housing this video helped a ton with that now i have the confidence to attempt this again with some of my spare housings. as a ntoe for others i would consider making your new lens first before attempting to separate it from the housing so that you dont have to remove it and refit this way you can get your new lens right first.

The end result kinda surprised me to be honest. They turned out pretty clean. Honestly thought they were gonna look janky that middle of the mall bullshit 🤣🤣🤣 but turned out DOPE! Good work too! You did everything yourself! Look good, one of kind, and you got the practice and technique down for future builds. Awesome video bro!
