Default We won't call this a 'Berger' -- -- -- it's a "LIT-CAMARO" - name changed















When I'm done (soon) I'll have two 20" WHITE lights in with a 20" red light between them.

Relays will light the red when I hit the brakes and the WHITES will go out.

I'll also have another part installed to block the light from coming out the bottom like in picture 6.

Thoughts?

love the blue, too bad that would be illegal here in MS. Cant have any blue lighting on your vehicle or you are considered to be impersonating an officer.

Yeah, I've thought of replacing the blue with white after I posted on another board. Shouldn't be worried about tickets with white & red since those colors are already on car. Just trying to do the blue thing. Also had thoughts of sand blasting the inside of the clear epoxy to frost it better.

Planned this 'mod' since I got the car back in June last year. Actually got the 2nd tail panel in November and started on it then. Just got off my *** and finished most of it this past month.

Had to cut the inside of the trunk area ALOT to fit the lights. Anyone who has ever removed the panel knows how the lock brace & such go deep into the panel area. Will post a non-56K friendly write-up later. If quoting me, please don't use ALL the pictures.

Is there a reason you didn't use LEDs? Then you probably wouldn't of had to cut the inside of the trunk a lot...

Actually, I started off w/LEDS. I've got 45ish red and 45ish blue left, 4 circuit boards. Got tired of soldiering them. And clearance was still an issue due to the lock bracket.
