YYYYAAAAYYYY! i figured out what was wrong with my tail lights. i hate my P/O. damn jerry-rigged wiring that doesnt even hold up. and then to celebrate i installed firewall to header braces. and i got a ratchet-strap for the bed so my sh*t doesnt go flying around everywhere.

WOOOO! 8) 8) 8)

Isn't that the lite set up for the lites that Jack has for his wagon. He has the European amber signal lite

not exactly sure, im not chainging the color of the lens, i was just using the different colors as a guide to show where the leds would be. i dont really like the amber lights anyway, but to each their own. i was alos thnking of making the running lights teh entire lenght of the light instead of just the brake/signal area. just poking around my brains a lil.

it's nice with these G bodies, you can change things and if you get tired of it you can make some other mods..
