Who made the post about making the firebird in the center taillight section light up?
I have spent the last several hours searching for whomever made a post about it. I used to have pictures of it, but no longer do and I would like to do that modification. I have a pretty good Idea on how to do it, I would just like to know who did it and if possible a link to the page that they posted about it. Thanks to anyone who answers.

this would be a very basic simple modification
all you would need to do is drill a hole in the back of the center piece to fit the size of the socket for the 194 bulbs you find in the side marker lamps and such, and take a small file and file the two tangs in the hole across from each other and wire one side of the bulbs socket to groun and the other to a taillight wire in the harness, such as to the license plate lamp wire
easy cake
good luck

Well the post as I remembered it was that he had an extra rear wiring harness and used two brake light sockets, spliced them into the brake light wires and then that way it lit up when he turned on the lights, but the bird became brighter when he hit the brakes since the bulb becomes brighter when that action occurs. I understand and remember what they did, I was just wanting the pictures that they posted with it and to review the post before I do it to my car.

Thanks for the links guys. It's not quite what I remember, but I guess beggers can't be choosers. You did give me more ideas for what to type in on searches. Thanks again. I'll keep you guys posted on the modification as well as another one, but it's a secret until it is done.
