Has anyone ordered these yet? Looks pretty cool. Send them your tail light assemblies for modification. About $1500.. Kinda steep.

They're cool, I suppose. But what's really cool is the carbonite frozen Han Solo on the wall!

 

I have that carbonate Han Solo too. Well, mine is a vinyl poster and it looks great, almost 3D.

 

I like those a lot, I wonder how hard it would be to DIY. My tails do have some condensation problems, may look into doing this while I have them opened up

 

I think DIY would be challenging - I've had quite a time just getting a duplicate of the existing system to work (almost there though....). The use of the same LEDs for both running and brake lights is a challenge to get to work right. I'm almost there though....

Whoever did the retrofit put a lot of effort into it.

 

I like the lights and I don't like the lights. A little too much like KITT on Knight Rider TV Series. I like the LEDs just not sure about the sequencing aspect. Also they want your original tail lights in an exchange. Not sure if they want them first, or after you receive theirs.

Now if they just had an iPhone app to control the color and ability to make the hazards go back and forth, and ability to control the speed and intensity.......LOL

Definitely not my first choice in upgrades. Maybe after you've done everything else.

 

Those look pretty cool, if my lights get condensation in them again I'd be willing to give them a try.

 

I think I'm going for it.. I just need to pick up a pair of tail lights to send off because I don't want to modify my original parts. I'll keep you guys posted!

 

I kind of like it and will be following this.

Regards,

 

There was at least 1 on eBay that were not working correctly - may be an option.

check pistonheads Aston forum - Steveway has installed them in his car so you could contact him - see the last few posts on this thread

Like them a lot. Audi have the sweeping indicator and have looked at fitting it but I like their other sweeping options.

 

Yeah, it was a lot of effort. The solution was two fold, an interface that fools the CEM into thinking it's a standard AML light and using a microcontroller with addressable LED's and PWM to control the running lights.

We take the original lights and bin everything except the reflector, lens and rear housing. We completely replaced the entire electronics and driver board and reassemble 'properly'. The biggest failure of these is the seal at the narrow end and poor ventilation. Proper sealing, using Gore membranes and a stack effect sorts the condensation. If the plastic bits are in good condition, you'll have no more bother. That means your light gets a nice shiny new warranty.

Programming the lights was soul searching because you gents have a certain amount of class so the last thing we wanted to do was make your pride and joy look like a casino slot machine. Subtlety rules!
Funny enough, the indicator sweep was also a challenge. Not all Aston's are the same. Indicators has slight timing differences from car to car on year to year. This either meant we needed a null time at the end of each indicator sweep or make the timing variable.
The light uses a subroutine that measures the time between flashes. The controller monitors ten complete flashes and then stores that time as the baseline. The light then calculates the time required for the array of indicator leds to get a full sweep in that time and alters the speed accordingly.

 

Divetheworld are you involved with this company I originally posted about? Or are you also in development with your own system? I'd really like to move forward with something like this.

 

Hi buddy. Divinatech is one of the companies I own with John, my business partner. The guy with the Han-Solo door!

I'd be glad to help anyway you need. It's a DiY fit.
The name is Brent by the way.
