Yeah, ain't light a bitch to photograph? To get a good photo of light, as such, you have to shut the iris down a bit or use a spot meter, if your camera is equipped, and put the spot on the light source to allow it to set it's self.

Thanks 93rd!

Cool Check out my fogmod...

I bought the foglight from Canzoomer, and wired it to the rear lights. There is a switch to shut it off, if needed, but it is mostly 'on'.
The stock bulb and reflector create a blinding 'laser beam' straight back, so had to go, built a cluster of 7 LEDs in place of the bulb....much better!

Pretty nice looking. I've wondered about those and wondered what kind of lighting they had. Now I know. I think the LEDs look better.

When I get my rear fog light installed I am going to keep it stock only because we get so much thick fog over here sometimes that it would come in very handy. My wife has a rear fog light on her Audi and it comes in very handy. Works good on tailgaters too.

I dunno, I always wanted missles, I like big explosions and if a laser would just disentigrate them, it wouldn't be fun. :D

Looks like the flame from the batmobile. That'd be cool if you could vary the light output with the RPMs.

If you like explosions maybe a mine layer would work better. That way as they continued to move forward in a ball of fire they would continue to trigger new mines... Could have some possibilities for a new mod in the future?

Warning dash lights come on with LED tail lights

I just put all LED side-marker/brake lights around the oustide of my 8, except for turn signals. My ABS and TCS lights came on immediately upon starting the car. I put back the old OEM bulb into the high center brake light and the idiot lights went out. Has anyone else seen this problem?

I bought them from
http://autolumination.com
they were informative on use and fast on delivery.

Never. I even tried this and it didn't effect mine at all. I didn't like the effect on the third brake light with the LED hyper whites, though. So, I never left that one in. Other than that, the only incadescent lamps I have left are the front left and right turn signals and the rear driver side turn signal. The other rear turn signal is an LED and that makes them blink really fast. I will eventually change them out to LEDs, I just haven't had the time. Even my license plate light isn't incadescent. I made a custom license plate housing and used a neon tube to light it.
