Camaro LED Tail Lights

The ones Im doing now will have orange leds in the turn signals, but when theyre off theyres clear so you dont even notice them, also the reverse lights will be LEDs

yes your right... actually believe it or not leds give off little or no heat, compared to lights theyre nothing.... the sealing is a pain in the a$$... its pretty complicated... and no theyre not plug and play, its lots of tideous work, lots of soldering.. when Im done all you have to do is wire them up, takes 5 mins and your good to go.... I honestly wouldnt reccommend doing them unless you know a pretty good amount about leds... I didnt know crap when I first started, Ive gone mostly on the try and fail method and just figured it out as I go, but I have learned a lot since then so Im pretty good at it now.....

its a 01 prelude. too ricey?? 
ok but a taillight is a taillight ricey or not. i thought you want to make some money, you look like you do good work. just so you know its not some tacked up import. its clean,stock electron blue with TL type-s wheels. i have a hid conversion but would love to do a custom set of led tails to round it out. i love advanced lighting it really gives a car a modern upscale look.

I was talking about the chevy bowtie being ricey, can you get me an extra set of tail lights cheap? I would have to get a set you dont need just in case I cant fix them.

Am I right? Or do the lower running lights light up brighter with the top brake lights on too? How is the heat from the rear of the taillights and How did you seal them so water or dirt can't get in? Are they plug and play too? Thanks for your time and for any info.

also I beleive you can control the brightness with resistors and make it where when the running lights are on they are all on but dim then when brakes are on they all get bright.

Yes you wont need any, but what happens when your voltage just jolts up for no reason? there goes all your hard work, its much safer to have them, even if there absolutly nothing like im using 56 ohm just to be safe....
