Customized Taillights

Whats up everyone..

Looking to do some custom work on the beast.

Want to put HID reverse lights in && LED RED signals..

Any Idea what bulbs are what on these tails? Also, how difficult of a process is this going to be?

Insight? Thanks

You can't...End of story.

All these bulbs are soldered to a circuit board unless you get aftermarket lights.

thanks brother!

I would like to do HID for the reverse, looks sick when done! but LED would be fine too..

Between Tints(35%) and the tinted tails.. I cant see sh*t backing up!

So this process cant be done at all because of the taillight setup?

Don't knock em till you see it! They look awesome!!

But the main thing I am going for is being able to see when backing up! my LED brake light is brighter than the reverse light!

They can be done with resistors in parallel. I did the front but haven't got time to do the rear yet. No errors codes.

Hate to bring up an old thread but still havent really gotten around to this but now that all my other mods are done I think I'll be trying to get the more complex ones done.

LED RED SIGNALS && REVERSE. So I'll be on top of this and posting to see exactly what can be done & HOW in case anyone is interested!
