Rear end LED's

Has anyone ever tried to put one of those LED lights that go on the tailgate of a truck, on the back of your Firebird or Camaro?

I put one on my Firebird today, I have to say it looks pretty good! Better than I thought.

I will post pictures soon, as soon as it gets darker so it's easier to be seen on camera.

Re: Rear end LED's

Any night shots? Video of them in action...turn/brake/hazard?

I thought about doing that until I got the STS.

Re: Rear end LED's

Too bad it isn't the right width to fit, edge to edge of the tail lights.

Re: Rear end LED's

not 2 bad... if you could just find some led's 2 finish out the edges i think it would look awesome, even if they were just a constant red.
