The 3d printed plastic will be fine in the sun... I will be using plastic that the sun doesn't degrade. Probably abs plastic...
I'm more worried about them cracking from bumps and that sort of thing... I have a few months of testing for sure once I finish...
Technically bumps shouldn't hurt...
The Max bilt are 5" lights. Don't think I can make them fit... But I didn't realize they can be surface lights with no depth. That might allow me to move them closer to the tail gate and make everything fit.
I like the tail lights, but I'm one who is never happy unless it's exactly what I want. You're paying $599 for a rolled piece of aluminum with trailer lights... They did a excellent job. But you're paying $599 and you have to remove alignment balls off your factory lights and install them on the...
Anything over 4 inches will began to stick out past the body like factory tail lights , if you look at the design below, that's a 4 inch radius.you can see it's about on the same plane as body line. Anymore and we will start to over hang out past the shroud.
I might be able to make the squares work... But we really are mainly limited to a max of 4 inches. The squares are 4.5 inches... But I may be able to fit them.
The first link, lights are 5 inches. There is no way to make them work unfortunately.
I'm still looking around for some 4 inch tail lights. There's one for a Yamaha motorcycle that looks really good, but way too expensive at $135 per light... I'm sure I will find something fitting soon....
I already have a set of Oracle tail lights, thank thank you for the offer... I haven't even thought about the blind spot sensors ...... Let me look into that and see what I can come up with. Thank you again!!!!
Those are combat off road lights. They sell them for $599... I will make a set like them as well... I'd say as soon as I get production quality they will probably be around $300. Maybe cheaper... We will see .
I still have a few more prototypes to go for a perfect fit.
The lights with the oval trailer lights are combat off road lights.
I will still make a version like these as well.
I will look into the measurements of the rectangular lights and see if I can make them work too!!!
Now that you mention it, I can totally see the front headlight of the rivian lol.
I encourage all to think of any tail light style they can think of and share. I would love a lot more ideas.
There's a chance I might. Might even give the files away to everyone to print their self. But last time I did that, people started selling them.
At the moment they are bolted in with the two bolts like factory, and I made the rear slip into a grove I designed. Might rework this but I actually...
I plan on making a design for the oval lights, 2" circle harley motorcycle lights, and a few of these style tail lights. With the 2" circle harley lights I plan on using three lights stacked on each side. Top red , middle white for reverse and bottom red. I'll attach a picture of one I was...
Figured I would share my progress, and would love criticism, likes, ideas, other style lights, let me have it all......
Keep in mind this is still in prototype stage. Still have to add side markers. Make a finer 3d printed housing. Current housing is ruff draft quality for fast print times .
