Default Playing with new light bar in tail panel

Still working out kinks, primarily dealing with 1" less light than I need...
From farther than 12" away "Camaro" appears much more thoroughly lit, but you get the idea anyways, and I was in a hurry to film it, since I can't see it when I'm in the car working the throttle.

Most of the time I just turn it on with the taillights and it's on steady, I'm not trying to get pulled over, lol!

lol, to be technical, Drsites, aka Prowler Z did this, then came the "Duff panel."

I ran it for about a year with a neon, and it was well lit, but threw lots of light out onto the bumper, so I went LEDs, but it simply wasn't enough to look right, and we're presently at dual LED "tubes", but it's just there until the LED board gets finished.

Thanks guys, although I think the car sounds a little funny during idle in that video; I guess the way it echoed off the floor and garage door. In the next few days I'm going to get her out at night and take some good still photos and better videos. She gets lowered tomorrow!
