Brake light again

So I know Alot of you hate this brake light but I decided to change it from my back window to my trunk because I didnt like it where it was but my tail lights are to dark and I think the cops are going to pull me over for them so I put It here I think it looks alot better.



BTW it looks crooked but its the picture

u gt the spoiler man, it look fine the way it comes from the factory.. focus ur time, effort and $ on something performance related, not asthetics.. the CL is a good looking car to begin with.

I spent $5 on the light give me a performance mod that I can do for $5 and I will buy it, This was a snow ball affect , I tinted my tails then they were too dark so I needed brighter taillights

On top of that all my performance mods are happening in the spring

I think you should continue and outline the trunk lid. When you are done, hang some holiday ornaments. When January rolls around take the whole thing off.

Use it during the holidays, as any other time it looks really rice.

You could also try making cutouts on your rear bumper and putting Corvette tails in there. It might complete the look.

Or make it scroll like Knight Rider.

they should just come apart like the headlights, then just mount some LEDs inside of it, and reseal it

I tryed 3 different kinds (stock are the best ), this was really my last resort , I actually dont think it looks great but I did it for functionality (and it works well). I want to do the led tails but I want to see how they are done because I cant afford new tails if I mess it up ,So I want to see how people doing them to see if im capable of doing them!

It doesn't have anything to do with you having leds outside your car. It's more about the aspect of the lights, and your car does have a lot of on it. Both inside and outside.
