looking thru the document source, its showing you used (img) address (img) try using (img src="address") substitute < for ( and > for ), respectively.
should work out nicely.

also, i like the originality of the light up pontiac... it's kinda cool, but how does it look during the day? night is one thing.. but up close and personal during the day is what makes or breaks a car....

Description, Much Pain,
Instructions: ill prob do a pic by pic once im ready for the bird, i used a knife and flat head to scrape, but its so hard to be detailed, so im gonna try a roto zip, and to disperse the light i used a fed ex box spray painted chrome on the inside, with a 194a socket with a red bulb,
ill write more later, time for school

Did you ever get the bird to light up? Can you post the instructions on how to do this. I think it looks great, just that you need a little brighter bulb. How does it look during the day? Please get back to me. Thanks.

Hey, you started before I did! I guess I need to get mine going now and test my own ideas out. (FedEx box painted silver?????) Were you pressed for time/materials or something?

Looks good though!

lol,
check my sig for my company name,
It would look better if you use two 194's on opposite sides,
the more the merrier, cept try not to make the center like a halogen light compared to the rest of the tail lights

FiReBReTHa: That is really cool looking. I am defintely going to try this mod, too. Did you just shave it down until it was thin enough to emit light?

Regardless, I really like it.
