you gonna be putting truck lights in them or you want to make actual LED boards...?

It's a lot harder than it may seem. I suggest looking at the LED section of HIDplanet. Those guys have done some crazy things with their tail lights, turn signals, sidemarkers, etc. They really know what they're doing.

ive been debating on this for awhile now, ill be doing 04+. cant decide though. All it takes is some understanding of resistors and such. bam bread board tails

Squeeze has. He cut them apart, broke out the red plastic piece so it left the light clear, prepped/painted and installed these.
It came out really good, but the pictures have since been removed so you can't see the awesomeness.

You may PM View Profile: squeeze - Pontiac Grand Prix Forums : Grandprix and see if he can email you some pics to piece the how-to together and make your own set. If you like them.

i also have a thread i made on painting tails that has all the necessary steps to clear the tail lights and i took lots and lots of pictures.

Yes sir you did... I meant PM'ing Chris to see if he had the shots with the LEDs in them, it looked pretty good once finished.

if you make it a hobby its a little different, and if you piece it together it might come out pretty nice.

There is a lot more to it than that, lol.
Also, I don't quite understand why anyone would do custom 04+ LED tail lights (less maybe using higher quality LED's) when the "aftermarket" one's are pretty perfect. The light distribution and pattern is as close to factory as one could probably get - especially the regular red ones. We are fortunate enough to have aftermarket tail lights that don't look outrageous or "ricy," considering the LED pattern is the same as that of the factory tail lights. Not to mention they're pretty cheap, as well.

now ya got me thinking as to make a set of tail light's using led halo's. but alright guy's give me some info here as on to what i'd need led flasher relay id imagine so not a fast flash but how would i go about wiring it as well. i was thinking kinda take like the older dodge charge tail light look with the circles and ill measure the tail light's width and see how big of a red led circle's i can fit in there. what ya think?

i dont know why the pics wouldnt show up they are still on my FB. I basically followed BIO's write up and added a clear ceiling light lense and painted the backing white and used semi LED's. i have a video on youtube as well showing how they blink but the video lags a bit.
