It is able to be cut on either side, so I am really hopin it will fit under the decklid. It will give me turn signal, brake, and reverse light functionality.
haha ya like i said dont worry about it its kinda interesting how thing s change over a few years haha
measure it up and then plan on a little extra room for when you close the trunk that it wont interfere with/ hit any of the leds
haha im def doing this, what brand was the LED strip u guys used?
I used a Fire and Ice Bar a flexible 60 inch version. Its from plasmaglow. hold up before you going buying one though, I think its going to work but I havnt had a chance to install it. I think Ill be able to get to it this weekend and ill pt pictures and let you know what I think.Quote:

I found one on eBay for like $2 and it was about as bright as the OP's. It didn't last very long and some of the SMD's pooped out. I then found one on eBay again for $4 with larger SMD's and it is just as bright as the $20 ones they have at AZ. At night its just as bright as any of the other brake lights and I love it. It's been several months now and everything is working great with it - I'm very pleased.
pics?
I'll see if I can snag some this week.
u gotta link for the ebay.... I bought 2 so far, one was 36" (too long) and the other half the leds stopped working, both of these were from hong kong. But thankfully only cost a total of $8.....
Here you go:
RED 12V 60cm Flexible Waterproof SMD LED Lights Strip - eBay (item 280566455520 end time Dec-23-10 12:29:10 PST)
60cm is what you want for our cars.
so what if you do hook it to the taillights themselves? will the whole thing flash when u use the turn signal? or only half of it? it would be cool if you could get each half to work for each side witht he turn signal
i"ve had the idea brewing for a while but nvr got that serious about it, but im i have to. thanks
looks sweet, what wire from the 3rd brake light did you use?
just finished mine, when i find my camera and get good pics i'll put em up
i have the same question. hopefully some feedback soonQuote:

whats the blue?
There is no blue, its white LED's for the reverse lights, the camera just makes it look blue because the Reverse lights are so warm.Quote:
