Achieving the Camaro concept's afterburner tail light effect - Page 12 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Oh, I recall seeing the turn sig's on the outside, and that does look like LED headlamps.

Keep up the good work on the tails!

Thanks!

One problem with the turn signal on the outside of the headlights is visibility. The way the lights are recessed from the leading edge of the car it would lower the viewable angle of the front turn signals by even more. You'd have to be nearly a full car length ahead of the Camaro to see them.

The concept headlights were illegal. you have to be able to see the turn signals on the side of the car. The side running lights aren't considered turn signals.

That's the only reason they changed the turn signals to the inside.

For me, I'm stuck waiting on material samples.

This shot shows something I need to fix. Very dim. I think I'm going to try and kick up the brightness a bit.

From what I've found, there are no specs on marker light brightness. The brakes, however, do have a brightness spec.

Checking in to see if there was any news on this.

TonyNo · 02-19-2010, 10:19 AM

I guess I need to order some material and do some more mock-ups instead of waiting on a quote.

strauchpete · 02-19-2010, 09:22 PM

seems like what is needed is to have a dual layer lights, have the back layer the running light and have the front layer the break light. make it with an led sheet that will make the middle look dark until you hit the breaks and light up the middle.
