euro taillights install
This past week I installed euro taillights with sequentail turn signals. I took some pics along the way, the lighting isn't the greatest on some.
 I backed the Z up on ramps to make it eazier to get to.  The old tail lights.  The goodies....I got the taillights from Mid America and the lampholders ('87 Camaro back-up) from Auto Zone.  The licence plate removed and the back-up light tucked inside.  The old lights removed. A helpful tip for this is to take a small file and round the tab corners that hold the back-up light on. Doing this will save your arms from lots of scratches and let you reach in farther. |

  Starting the wiring harnesses for both sides.  The finshed harness with the sequencers wired in.  Connections being made behind the outside right light.  Sequencers tied to the bracket behind the licence plate.  Another view. Last edited by IowaZR-1; 03-09-2008 at 07:37 PM. |

Re: euro taillights install
I like it. But I like my LED lights more right now. I like the sequental look reminds me of the old Cougers and T-Birds. Great install

Re: euro taillights install
So, is it wired so the yellows blink, and the reds don't? That would seem to be the reason they are used in Europe, but it seems like it would be a complicated wiring job to get it to work right.

And the amber blinks for turn and hazards only, while the red is for brake lights only. I wish GM had made all ZR-1's with these lamps. But then the rest of the C4 crowd would be all over them like the ZR1 wheels
