LED tails available on U.S classic cars but not ours

[Armond]

Why? I've seen them advertised on classic car magazines but most are only available for American Cars. The reproduced lights look exactly like the originals, except they are L.E.D's. I'm sure there is a demand for our cars.

You know, I've noticed this also. I've also noticed that they don't have very many catalogs with parts available for the 02's like they have from Victoria British for Mg's and triumphs. I know that Jamic has some that you can order, but i have found any others.

I'd most deffinatly would buy some LED tail lights if they had some available.

Thanks,

i'm in contact with a factory rep from China. I'm willing to ship them an extra set of my round tails to see if they can make some I hope the minimum order woudnt be too bad.

Sweeeet I can't wait to put some more Chinese parts on my car. Maybe you can sell em' at Wal-Mart......

no, really, most of us have more taste than that...

(heh)

Many have put LED's IN the housings, as they pop better

and help the 'really dim taillight' syndrome without

(pardon the pun) China syndrome...

I'm sure many of you older folk remember the days when the only quality exports coming out of China were party hats, fire crackers and finger traps. And now, 50 years later, it's uh, pretty much the same thing...

why messing up with something that works perfectly when in good condition ?

Back when I was selling bicycles, the Japanese stuff was just starting to get the recognition it deserved. When the carbon fiber bikes came out, the USA was the place to get one.

Then one day after the church social club meeting, I unpacked a Specialized Alez Epic that was made in Tiwan. The quality of the carbon fiber made the Trek look like something I made when I was 8.

I'm sure it will be the same with China.

anyone think of why these wouldn't work in an 02? I don't like the idea of anything Chinese made in my 02 except maybe a LED bulb or two.

One superficial reason is that LEDs illuminate more quickly. So in some sense, they are 'safer'. Something like that. Of course I've seen a lot of LED setups on other cars that are much dimmer than original incandescent lights.
