The outer lights are amber because this car was in Europe. The two inner red are the ones we would have on our cars, so all four would be red like we have now. It's just easier to see how the lamp is designed through the amber lens.

It's hard to tell from your pictures, but if the red lens is flat, it would be best to replace it with red transparent acrylic. This will prevent diffusion of the LEDs making the "ring" appear sharper.

I like this great idea

Okay, i'm ordering a camaro tail light from GM to see if i can make it a true "LED halo" If i'm successful you can be certain I'll start selling them on ebay lol.

Hi,
does anybody have a wiring diagramm from the tail lights?
Or does somebody know, how the Camaro uses the brake light as the turning signal?
Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that yellow car just has window tint cut into that u shape on the tail light. Might be a simple idea that would get the look your trying to achieve. I may try tinting my tail lights to see if they get that look??

Working on a fixed tail light housing will have a pic later on in the week.

It wont have the step in it.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 07-22-2010, 08:31 PM

It was a lot of work, But i made one tail light housing with out the step in it, It all fits in the opening in the rear of the car, Here is 3 pics that i have, One is of the housing, The second is a mold i made of the inside to give use what looks like 3" from the light to the lens.

Last is the LED for the brake lights don't have it all in one piece Need time for the paint to dry, After work or Saturday will have pics in the car to look at.
