My 67 camar0 LS1/4l60 swap thread
#602
My GF had a bunch of girls over last night, so I spent som time working on my taillights. For the last two years my taillights have been very temperamental, and with the swap to LED headlights I figured a swap to LED tails was in order. The cheapest set of LED taillights for my car are over 100....and kind of look cheezy. I found these LED panels on ebay for around $2 ea shipped...these suckers are bright!
using a 12x12 sheet of ABS plastic off of amazon, I made brackets.
The panels were perfect size for the housing.
I used a hole saw to make grommets for the wires and to seal the housing
Winning.
I had initially made a panel that put the panels really close to the stock lens, and you could count the LEDS using bright spots, setting them back deeper in the housing gave it a much better look IMO

My car needs some shakedown to make sure all is well with the new trans/drive-shaft, but its "ready". Been very busy with getting the new garage underway, the lumber arrives next Thursday, trusses next Monday. Garage doors ordered but the siding that I had gotten township planning approval for had the state distributor go out of business last fall. The siding is still made, I just am working out how to get it, for a reasonable price and level of headache. First world problems, I know. Its gonna be
Hows the new cam feeling? You long hauling?

I missed your question, Yea, I wired directly to the turn/brake factory 12V wires. The signal wires power the delay relay, so no additional wires needed to be run.

The LS9 cam - I lost a bit of low end when cruising around the freeway - but I gained a bunch more power on the top end.
I will be at Charlotte - and maybe Knoxville. I'll contact you on FB.

I am hoping the car will be back in good health by the 16th.

Spent the day driving out to my builder, tearing down the trans with him, finding nothing wrong, and cleaning and reassembling the trans. My Converter should arrive at Circle D on Tuesday, interested to see what they find. I looked at every part in the trans and they looked perfect.. My builder is off the hook!
