not much of a how-to to write since all I have done is picked out LED configurations that will use the housings in the most efficient manner. However, I do have a word document with pics showing each LED cluster I chose and my review of each. Only one I have been unhappy with is the license plate one and the one for the ashtray. Everything else is great.

Where did you get the RL LED bulbs at?

Yea I figured the LED's wouldn't make the taillights look any different but the red is noticeably more intense and their operation is "LED" quick.

I couldnt help but smile to myself though, when you were doing the turn signal demos in the video...... "right blinker" <clack! clack! *flash* *flash* *flash*> Our turnsignal stocks are SUCH a POS. They feel like theyre going to break off everytime you put them on. It bugs me everytime I have to turn! haha. I usually just end up holding the stalk right before its about to click in, but where it still lights up, that way I dont have to hear it snapping in... I know its a random thought, but the vid just made me think of it. But back to your regularly scheduled program

Mine are also alot slower. I did put a resistor on my tail lights, but that was just to take the dim glow out when the lights weren't on. I would like to know if there is a different electronic flasher out there that's faster.

Sequence flasher kit...? So I thought one of you guys with the LEDS said you had the rear sequential taillights? If so, could you post a video of that? I see their are a few kits out there to do this but you have to chop into your original wires to do so, the only plug and play kits I see are for f'ing mustangs...wtf!
FWIW-I just ordered some #174's in LED for my door lock/window switch lights, #921 leds for my third brake and a handful of 194's in led in various assorted power to try for my corner lights, tails and drls next, one of you said you had led in your ash tray...? Are the reverse lights 921 or 1056?
PLMK-Thx, great work gents btw.

And no, there are no "plug and play" sequential tail lights for 93-02 Firebirds. You will have to splice into and the wires and modify your taillights. Reverse light LEDs are the same as the DRLs and taillights, which is 3147. The ashtray light I have is a 197 wledx6 bulb.
