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

 

Professional job, nice work.

 

Great write-up, and even better finished product.

This is the first one that I've seen that actually looks good!

 

nice...looks real good

 

I saw the video. What kind of controller chip did you use for your LED's to implement the motion?

 

so does that come on instead of the brake light? or is it always on with the lights? i like it alot

 

looks good

 

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?

 

p.s.

that panel is teh ****!

 

Personally, I don't think those tail lights look bad AT ALL. But the Camaro panel looks great. Awesome work.

 

it actually is a 20" light bar i got from advance auto when they were clearanceing them out. it has it own box to control. it plugs into the cig lighter to be used whenever i feel like it.

it has
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
last is off


plugs into cig lighter can be used n e time. i often like to leave it on when we go to meets just for people to ride by and see


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

you wouldnt believe the crap i catch for them on here

 

thanks to all for the nice compliments

i keep doing little things like this and doing write ups

i did one write on changing the colors of the halos and im in progress of doing one for the camaro on the front bumper just gotta get some money up so i can start that one

 

Well... you may catch a lot of crap sometimes.

But right now... you've just got somebody who really likes them. lol.
