x2. So this is the method I recommend. It's more uniform red throughout this way.

Thank you sir, I just knew it would look good. Reverse light relocation coming soon. Gotta find a bright enough white LED strip that doesn't break the wallet.

^ I'm curious to see what you do. I've contemplated using the 3rd brake light as a reverse light then doing Wiggy's mod and putting a third brake in the rear window, but I don't like the 3 brake lights not matching, so I may either do a reverse light in the window (Idk if it's legal) or seeing what you do.

I'll be sure to post up pics when I get around to it, maybe a How-To if there is enough interest.

I really like the all red tails. Can somebody photoshop red tails on a solar yellow neon for me to see how it looks?

I'm gonna go ahead and say that IMO, it looks better regardless of the body color. Less is more, especially in terms of colors.

Well i currently have blacked out tails but am really curious to how it would look on a yellow neon before i was to do it. If anyone can p/s one for me that would help

check autozone.... they might normally have ricer shit but they do have a decent selection of while leds thats where i got my current license plate led strip and the one that i have projects forward while being on a horizontal surface so maybe mounted under the trunk lid where it meets the bumper?

will using that oven trick work for the headlights?
do i just use the same temp and cook em for the same amount of time?

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Fri Dec 17, 2010 7:57 am

yes, but not very effective. I believe we already told you this in another thread. OEM headlights are extremely hard to open and you may destroy them. DEPOs, yes it'll work fine.

iThane · Post by **iThane** » Fri Dec 17, 2010 12:17 pm

Yeah I remember being told it's harder with oem, but hasn't it been done before?
what if I just use a lower heart and cook it a littler longer?

^You'll have to talk to someone who has experience with that I suppose, not many people have messed with that. What are you trying to do anyways? The cops are a lot more particular about headlights than tails from what I've seen/heard, so be careful.
