thanks man, what i am thinking of also doing is lighting up the pontiac. I'll attatch the pheonix ito the brake light and the pontiac will stay on when the lights are on. Then when i hit the brakes BOOM! pheonix lights up.

It's too bright to really see it. But you're on the right track.

im going to see if i take pictures with my digital, the way the light is setup the middle of the pheonix lights up red , the wings are sort of white. No im not using leds but damn you gave me an idea. Actually what i did was pull the whole trunk light with unit and all out placed it on the side where the tail lights go. and just did a ghetto splice and solder to one of the tail light bulb harness. I did have to connect two wires together to get my hatch motor to work again. The light unit acts as a loop for the electricty. So if you cut it there is no way the motor will get electricty . good to know huh
