As I was sitting in traffic behind a new cadilac srx with all LED brake lights and taillights, I began to wonder how the firbirds would look if each honey comb had an LED in it. Granted, you wouldn't go high powered or else you'd blind someone, but I thought it would look good. Not sure how you would go about doing it, but it would be badass.

As for the original poster's concept, I think pontiacs need to avoid being confused with chevy's as most chevy's have round tail lights.

i probalby wouldn't change mine out, but depending in the final product it could look ok. i don't think the taillights is an area where gm fell through tho... do something to improve the plastic interior!

Yeah, well actually I was thinking of going at the junkyard to find a used pair and toy with them, so I don't screw the good ones. As for the Honeycomb behind the cricles, well, maybe a tailight cover customed to show off the circles might do it, taht'd be something else to work on.

It's ok, I wouldn't buy them as it would kill my sequential lights.
