sorry, car was all wet from the rain, and the brake lights flood the camera w/ light so it gets a little confused.
+ i chopped them down to low quality jpg to upload it to evom.

i think its a unique idea man, sets you apart from the rest.. it doesn't look bad but what's so special about regular bulbs versus the leds aside from appearance?

no it doesn't go back and forth like knight rider.
I bought a $11.00 BLAZER red clearence light (the one on trucks and busses). took it apart. attached it to a piece of foam(the packing kind) to fit in the 3rd brake light, siliconed into the light and then used vampire taps to tap into the old socket. i thought about hard wiring it into the old plug, but vampire is good enough. just took out the 7440 bulb though.
I got the 4led light by BLAZER from Checkers Auto Parts.
I have bought from superbrightled.com before, but i figured this would be more simple and cheaper.
