This was my mistake

I was suppose to wire them like this. Instead i did separate grounds and powers

I need to fix a few bugs in my design but so far so good

PICT1603.mp4 video by xgiovannix12 - Photobucket

the camera does not show how bright the way i see them but its close enough =P

and i made my own 1157 plug



One of the bugs are that the leds wont power up with the truck off .. but i think im going to have to live with that

Dude, those tails look awesome!!! Im interested in doing something similar on my new Illverado! Ill be reading more closely at your work for that.

Do they work properly when you are holding the brake, and signalling?
