Here's a pic. Haven't even had to change a bulb in the back. Guess I'll learn through trail and error on tail light disassembly this weekend.

VIDEO! All right gang,

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Installed-sequential-LED_208829.htm

Install went well, just a few hours. Instructions supplied were good but a schematic would have helped. The instructions mentioned a black zip tie around a certain wire lead and there was no black zip tie on a lead so a little trial and error. Thought I might have to trim a board to fit but come to find out the board was miss labeled. The look and function though is well worth the money. easily 10 times brighter than stock bulbs. If anyone from restoreamusclecar reads this, The only way I could get the sequentials to work properly, is if I leave the light bulbs in the original bulb harness. That means I have the LED tail lights on the outside, and the bulb harness funtioning on the inside of the trunk....did I miss something? or is that the way it works? I realize in order for the capacitors to discharge, there must be a pulse felt on the line.

Maybe I got myself overhyped  but the round patterns in the 74-78 look kinda ghetto "bling". The taper cuts too short off for a blocky look at the ends where it narrows. Just does not "flow" like good old GM intended it to.

I am not knocking it by any means as it is what it is, some fine tuning will really bring it to life. I am sure RAMC will do this or another company will pick it up and add touches.

Maybe they will mod it some and make it to encompass the entire sections for a more sqaure and taperred look.

Ya have a led out on the drivers side  Very Happy

LEDs are the wave of the future I am 100% sure not bad for a start.


At days end if it keep grand ma from plowing into you in the rain because she can't see ya it did it's job.


On the tail lights lighting up in the trunk LOL

Paint them different colors for a festive glow during the holidays coming from the trunk!

I noticed the round pattern on this photo also , I know one of the big things is that they are made so yo dont hve to damage your taillights to install these so maybe that has something to do with it.

i dont think they look ghetto bling at all, they just look boxed out in sections. If it were solid whole looking LED's, it would look real nice. but then again that's just from watching the vid. just my .02

If they were filled in, you would have to cut the tail light housing. Don't like that option as I'm sure most wouldn't. The inner housing has three "cups" that the circuit boards drop into. No mods to the tail light are needed for this modification.
