    Just heard back from him. I'll ask about a group discount.......

    Brad:

     There are three sections.
     The center section goes over and under the center reflective protion of the lens, but there are no LEDs under that portion.
    I will see if one of my dealers has posted a video.

     Larry
    ...

    My responce,

    Thanks Larry that would be great! Just wondering if there would be the possibility of a group discount? If so how many would we have to buy? I'm a member of an on-line car club called Cuda-Challenger.com. I have started a post and there seems to be some interest in this? They are waiting for a video, if you could find/get one that would help?
    Thanks Brad

    The more I look at this, the more I want it. I just wonder how they pull it off. Are some LED's dedicated to being brake lights, while others are dedicated to being parking lights? That's the only way I can see it working.    :dunno:

    The sequential thing...Oh wow!   :jumping:

    Yeah, I knew. I saw a new Challenger with them last year. I just think these would be much more work to pull off.

    I have LED light on the back of my truck with the same set of bulbs acting as tail light and brakes,  I have a resistor limiting the power on the wire for the tail lights.  I also needed diodes so power would only go one way I can't remember exactly how I wired it as it was years ago but it can be done so all the bulbs act as brakes and tails.

    Just heard back from the supplier... ( Haven't heard a thing from "restore-A-Muscle car" outfit? :dunno:)

    Brad:

     

    I have forwarded your request to my dealer, Restore-A-Muscle car.

     

    he may have the video, and, when it comes to more then one system, I fell I need to pass the sale to my retailers. 

     

    Again, thank you,

    OK, I'll fess up.     :wave:

    They arrived today. They seem OK, but it's a little intimidating at this point since I have to hack into the existing rear harness to find out what wire does what. Then I was led to believe the power wire for the control board would be long enough to reach the fuse box. This is NOT the case. I have an aftermarket amp in my trunk that I will tie into that has a fused power source. These wires won't even reach it, so I just want to throw that out there. 

    You have to figure in the "Mike" factor here. Any job that I think will take 2 hours, will have to be multiplied by 4. So I will try installation this weekend, but I know it will take far longer than I expect.   :faint:

    Brad, Just for you, I have gotten my original tail light lenses out and buffed the heck out of them. I will install these in place of the repro things I have in there now.   :grinyes:

    It says the original unit may work, or you might need an upgrade to the solid state version. That is a nice cover their behind statement.    :grinyes:
