How to: The camaro light panel
please do not comment on the tail lights
project takes all of about 3hours being patient and generous
i used
a rotozip - optional very high powered dremel
multipurpose rotary cutting bit x2
the clear plastic from a poster frame at walmart
privacy window tint from lowes - frosted glass
grey double sided molding tape - advance auto parts
led bar of your choice - mine 20 in multidance pattern
800 - 1000 grit sand paper
optional but a good idea to have it repanted afterwards
i got a completely seprate panel picked it up from a junk yard for $50
laid it down and strateled it to keep it in place
dug the rotozip in and slowly started cutting the C
once done with that i moved on
i found when cutting the A and O it is best to cut out the middle first
once youve cut it out sand all edges smoothe and you will end up with a tip on the inner parts of the A and O that will need to be sanded off
cut out a piece of clear plastic the size and of the word camaro leaving room to put tape
i used the poster plastic because its thin and very flexible
cover both sides with the privacy tint - it gives it a frosted glass look and will disperce the light better
tape the plastic to the back side of the panel be generous and tape everywhere for firm fitment
now for the inners of the O and A. place a piece of double sided tape on back and position carefully press from front and back to give a firm placement but without pusshing the plastic off the panel
for the light. depending on what you use it may require some fabrication
i was able to fit mine in but its very snug. i pointed the lights directly toward the CAMARO and used double sided tape to help it stay in place
friend of mine beat the back of the car flat till he had a good place to mount
mount the light and make sure it works before installing the panel
leave the light on while installing the panel in case it cuts off for some reason
then install the panel
ta da
i might have left something out or not been clear on something but feel free to ask anything you need to

So... you asked us not to comment on the actual tail lights...
If I were to comment on them... and maybe ask what kind they were & where I could get a set... what would you tell me?

1 steady on
2 pulse to music or in my case pulse to the chop of cam
3 multifunction of all available dance patterns
4-10 is separate dance funtion

i believe slickcar.com is where i found these, but i think they are on ebay now
i had never seen a pair like them when i bought them and i thought they went with the car well
