Project next: LED tail conversion...

Now my 1st question is, in order to gain access to the inner housing, do I have to access it the same way you would open up the headlight housings? Does any know for sure?

sounds good to me.

You can also just cut the back of the taillight off... just a suggestion, seeing how you wont need the reflector housing anymore anyway.

how many did you get?? are you planning on doing a huge cluster like the Caddy?? or more like the Infinity G35, and do less over a broader area? If you need resistors and other things to make the project complete, check out www.parts-express.com and www.mcmelectronics.com. They both offer "buy-in-bulk" discount pricing.

The bottom half of this tail combination are LEDs. They are supposed to be a lot brighter than incandescents and are said to light up faster as well. If your car has a spoiler, the brake lamp on the wing are LEDs...I think the whole taillamp would look cool as LEDs..I'm still awaiting delivery of mine right now...
