Tailight conversion
My new LED tailights came in today so I did that project after work! My plan was to make all 4 tailights work off the headlights and park lights, and then have both lights on each side flash/brake. I've got a license plate backup light, so I eliminated that on the inside lights.
I bought LED's for a 1958 Chev truck and then opened up the buckets and siliconed them into the back of the lenses. They had pigtails on them and a bayonet base to match the factory sockets, so I had to disconnect the backup sockets and wire in a new socket to the inside light on each side. Took a few hours to remove, glue, wire it all, but it's a major improvement in light level and I like the look of having all 4 lights. It's just different enough that only a Camaro fan would notice the change from 2 to 4 lights.
Here's just the tailights:

Those are sweet. I plan to do this to mine. I wish I had the round lights like you I would just copy yours. Now can you get them to blink in sequence? Inside first then both? As soon as I get back to school I'm gonna work this out with my electronics teacher. Again nice.

I love the fact that they are super bright, even in the daylight!

Really no ending time. They start around 4:30 or 5:00 and go strong until around 8:00 PM, but if it's really nice there's a good crowd until 10:00 PM.
