I managed to try the 3156 bulb in the 3157 socket. First off, you have to shave part of the bulb off to make it fit, but it will work, but only as the brake/turn signal light.
I also pulled out the LH IN RS tail light. Anyone want the part number? 92212647 and runs about $50 if one wanted to order this to mess around with. I think the best idea is using a board of LEDs for the brake/turn signals, and then use a regular bulb behind the LED board for the afterburner. I would also chrome paint "Part c" just below the clear lense to get the light to reflect off. Oh on these tail lamp there is a blue sticker covering a hole. That would be a great location to run the two wires feeding the LED board. |

still think we need to scuff/diffuse the chrome inside the main can to help even out the light diffusion. can you show us a break down of what the internals look like? |

This pic is with the red lens removed.
And this is the same pics, There is 3" of depth to the rear lens and i did put 2 layers of tint on the inner lens. This is the back of the tail light hosing you see two sets of wires one is for the afterberner LED's and the next set is for the Brake light LED's One more pic of the hosing with nothing in it. This is the hart of all the light it the 1/2 Moon that i made as you can see its Dark there are 2 layers of 20% tint on the lens, And a lot more as you will see. In the next 2 pics you can see that on the outside of this 1/2 Moon i have almost 50 LED's all red but if need be you can add some yellow ones to add to the look. The 2nd pic. This pic is of the back side of the 1/2 Moon you will see a lot of Small wires. This is inside that 1/2 Moon look at all the LEDs in that part. One moor pic of the inside for you. I want to thank bolteon593 for the help and all the rest of the members on Camaro5 for all the help. I have one more thing i want to try If i have a relay on the brake side that will run a resister on the afterburner side will that not make the afterburner lees brite as soon as you hit the brake. |

I honestly dont think a handful of LEDs is the answer. Look at the concept pics. The lighting needs to be backlit and etch onto reflective sides to give a burning glow effect. The sides need to be reflective and the center tinted.

2SSRS is looking better, seems to be more of a halo rather than eclipse in the pics tho.

The damn step in the housing will screw us getting light diffused out to the edges properly. Looks like a new one is required. :(
