one bad bg Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 ahhh, your a mindreader...i just thought of that same thing a couple of days ago...my next door neighbor has a 98 trans am and he said on his forums there guys that make the bird on the back light up with leds. im sure its the same concept. im working on getting a pic of it but this is the bird on the back bumper that they get to light up http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/bird_ta.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaz98gt Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I just saw a firebird today with the bird lit up in the back. For some reason I thought it looked like it was supposed to light up, like the lights came standard? But then I looked at the legacy, and thought "well, that looks like it should light up too, but it doesn't". I tried waving the guy down, but couldn't get him I'll hunt around any firebird forums today, because it seems like it's popular mod for them. But some subaru guy had to try this!

kaz98gt Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 i'm gonna see about popping the plastic off tomorrow just to see. idk what i'd throw in there though for light, and how to wire it up so that it doesn't just come on with the brakes or anything.

fatboy1214 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 has anybody done interior light swaps yet either? http://www.v-leds.com/ you can lights for just about any interior application its pretty sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 ive done mine but i didnt get the plug-n-play cause thats no fun, i made my own 10 led cluster and hard wired them in, all of my interior light are now led...and yes i mean ALL of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 http://www.v-leds.com/ the website i get all mine from is www.superbrightleds.com their cheaper and just as good, and all the same products. the site is poorly put together though thats the only downfall, navigating through it is a bit weird but i did every interior light( dome, map, rear dome, doors, gauges, and hvac for less than 20 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

httrdd Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yea I am obsessed with Trans Ams and Firehawks! I had cash in hand for a R tiltle 2000 Firehawk, but found out there was frame damage! Then the baby came, house, ect., ect,! So now the bird will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
httrdd Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 How much do you love the new guy??!!! Here is a thread that I found that involved a lot of work! This is for the filler pannel, but the SUBARU is basically one piece. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/391715-366-led-taillight-filler-panel-pics.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 sweet. I never did get around to popping off the plastic for mine the other day, but it's definitely on the list. thanks new guy welcome to the team I'd wanna find one that doesn't get too involved, like 630 leds and autocad cutting. psh. Still hunting for a legacy that has gone thru this, just to see what it looks like. there's gotta be one out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 my next door neighbor is a genuis. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Reaperunderearth/050.jpg project takes all of about 3hours being patient and generous i used a rotozip - optional very high powered dremel multipurpose rotary cutting bit x2 the clear plastic from a poster frame at walmart privacy window tint from lowes - frosted glass grey double sided molding tape - advance auto parts led bar of your choice - mine 20 in multidance pattern 800 - 1000 grit sand paper optional but a good idea to have it repanted afterwards i got a completely seprate panel picked it up from a junk yard for $50 laid it down and strateled it to keep it in place dug the rotozip in and slowly started cutting the C once done with that i moved on i found when cutting the A and O it is best to cut out the middle first once youve cut it out sand all edges smoothe and you will end up with a tip on the inner parts of the A and O that will need to be sanded off cut out a piece of clear plastic the size and of the word camaro leaving room to put tape i used the poster plastic because its thin and very flexible cover both sides with the privacy tint - it gives it a frosted glass look and will disperce the light better tape the plastic to the back side of the panel be generous and tape everywhere for firm fitment now for the inners of the O and A. place a piece of double sided tape on back and position carefully press from front and back to give a firm placement but without pusshing the plastic off the panel for the light. depending on what you use it may require some fabrication i was able to fit mine in but its very snug. i pointed the lights directly toward the CAMARO and used double sided tape to help it stay in place friend of mine beat the back of the car flat till he had a good place to mount mount the light and make sure it works before installing the panel leave the light on while installing the panel in case it cuts off for some reason then install the panel ta da i might have left something out or not been clear on something but feel free to ask anything you need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
