Achieving the Camaro concept's afterburner tail light effect - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Not bad but then you will have to cut the wires coming in to the plug in the back and wire in some connectors and where do you put the parts to run the EL wire?

One more thing is the flasher on this car?

I edited it a bit with the thought on the 194 bulb.

Connect up a 194 bulb socket Via a Scotchlock connector, put both the 194 and the 3156 bulb into the housing, seperate them by a piece of metal bent into the u shape following the afterburner shape.

Either way whatever light is used for the turn signal, it would still flash.

Don't forget if you go with a LED or EL wire that the load changes and the DIC will have a problem with it.

This should help with that, if you go that route.

heres a pic from the film clip of the concept for whoever maybe able to photoshop or just for referance . who made the concept lights or does one exist ? i have only seen retouched pics of them and this pic of a real concept does not look so hot ,maybe if it was lit we could see whats going on in there. i have a new rs taillight in hand now if i can get the lens off without scratching it i will post pics of inside.

klatterblast · 12-22-2009, 04:32 PM

heres a couple pics of mine from an angle , AACstyle afterburner led halos.

Instead of thinking 'Afterburner', think 'Eclipse'.

CrimsonHowitzer · 12-22-2009, 05:39 PM

I don't have one to play with but it looks like there are three parts to the housing. The reflective can, the clear diffuser, and the red lense. Has anyone tried taking the light apart and spraying a tailight tinting paint over the clear diffuser, masking off a quarter inch around the bottom half circle. This would slow the light through the center but allow it to shine though around the edges. Might not be as dramatic as LEDs or completely blacking out the center. Sorry I don't have any cool photoshop programs to show what I am talking about.

Mr Twisty · 12-22-2009, 06:07 PM

The diffuser is normally part of the lens, molded on the inside.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 12-22-2009, 06:15 PM

There is three parts.

CrimsonHowitzer · 12-22-2009, 06:16 PM

I was using this picture for reference from an older post. It appears that the clear diffuser sits in about .5 to 1 inch seperate from the red lense.

I was too slow posting that one. Thanks 2SSRS.
