Another flush mount tail light

[Harlan83]

I have been working with my brother, as he has the ability to print my dreams. Im not entirely happy with them but it's where I am at the moment. Amazon special lights, eteailer side marker and making my own harness. I have the fancy smancy lights so my blind spot will stay and work. Opinions, criticisms??

This is really well done. Nice job!

Those look really good! They look like they belong on the truck, unlike the other options out there.

Are you planning on selling these? If so, I would be interested in being a guinea pig for you and testing them out.

Just my opinion but the light itself looks too small.

I see it too, but at the same time the light is the same size (6") as motobilts, and combat and I think rugged was the other. I just chose to not make it with the standard oval. Which may change but will take on a redesign.

There is intent to sell but probably will just be the housing and maybe a harness. Will be slow... Work full time with a family. Each housing takes approximately 30hrs to print. Plus I dont think I want the headache of "warranty". Not really looking to make money as much as help with another semi-DIY option.

If you wanna sell the print files once finalized I'd be interested in those.

I think the only thing I'm unsure of is the brightness of those lights in inclement weather. I wonder if theres a brighter option? Or something similar size and shape thats brighter that would be easy to adjust the housing for?

Nice job, looks really nice. I agree the light may be a little small, and seems a bit dim compared the the OEM light.

Those actually look pretty good. Im picky when it comes to tail lights/headlights. I would run those.

I would buy the File and instructions for the harness with instructions. What did you print it in ABS or ASA? Do you know what the layer height was?

That is looking good. Coming from someone who has a family and I am doing this when I can get to it I understand completely. I was just able to get my passenger side printed yesterday and it took 23.5 hours. I will have mine up in a few minutes but the wiring seems easy after you get the housing design done.

Great job!

Didn't turn as well as we thought. Have been running them for about 6 months with no issue. Blind spot seems to work close to factory. Learned a lot with this design. Starting from scratch on new set with 6in oval lights. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2837939-low-profile-tail-light-jt?appSharePlatform=copy
