I can change the LED tails design to run a SOLID line of led's about 4 high and all the way across the entire length of the clear area of the tail.

*bling*

just spray the board they are built on silver and *invisible mode*, as they are water clear led's.

Hey friend, I have a pair of 95-96 tail lights that are in great condition. Now just for the fun of it i thought I'd ask.... I really don't want to open them up myself & try to clear out the bottoms & rig up new LEDs, but YOU could... I'm just wondering if you would consider doing something like that & if you did, how much would you charge. Thanks alot, let me know.

i dont open taillights too much can go wrong. Ask calvin

I have a set of 92 tails that are spare i am going to attempt to open and mod for myself, but i expect problems just to keep from having dissapointment when / if something happens trying to get them open. I even know how to do it, the process is just such a careful one, there isn't room to slip up before you crack something.
