Not to answer on his behalf or anything, but most people either plastidip them or buy a vinyl cover and stick it over the bow tie...getting them off is really difficult from what i've read on other threads. If you're looking for the vinyl cover, just search vinyl wrap on amazon and there are a bunch...

The plastidip is really easy to remove I've done a lot with it and nvr had an issue with it so far

This is a really crap photo but it's all I can do with my iPhone. My camera is at the other house.
If you're wondering if the whole lens it lit with these bulbs, rest assured that they are and that there is a good bit more brightness when the brakes are applied, so you know when I'm braking.

Thanks. I need to get the camcorder out and make a video of the lighting.
The third brake light is LED from the factory.

Got my CB in the dash. I have yet to put the permanent antenna on the roof or run the power wiring to the battery, but I've got the radio mounted where I want it and working with a temporary antenna and power source.
Holy cow! I haven't seen one of those since the 70's.

It's kinda fun to have. I like to talk to the locals and listen to what's going on, but the amount of stupidity over the air is appalling. I'm a licensed amateur radio operator and I could put a ham radio in the car for more pleasant conversations and a more stealth antenna, but there's something about CB and the fact that anyone can use it that makes it more interesting to me. I also keep a handheld CB radio in the car to loan out to those I may be traveling with so we can keep in touch without calling on the phone.

Hey Andrew, have you played around with soldering your own LEDs. The resister formula is simple. I had red LEDs all throughout the heater vents, shifter, kickpanels and instruments in my 84 Camaro. They were controlled by an interface hooked to the subs. It was like a Pink Floyd concert in my car. I even hooked capacitors to some so they would hang on longer than the others.

Nah. I've thought about trying to make my own full-led tail lights before, but I don't have the patience.
The interior lighting sounds cool though.

Very entertaining thread, Andrew. Thanks for posting these part numbers. I have a black sedan and I'm not a fan of the chrome strips on the doors and I've been debating what I want to do with them (vinyl or plastidip). While a bit more costly, these black replacement strips would look a lot better. Are they flat black in person or glossy?

Ok, I was hoping they were glossy instead of matte. Maybe I'll go with black Plasti Dip and their Glossifier.

Pull up really hard! No need to pull the door panel.

Right now I'm using a magnet mount, but come fall I'll be drilling.
