Yeah, I can't imagine.

The four taillight mod is next on my list. The back up light mod under the license plate looks nice. Was this an aftermarket piece or did you fabricate it yourself?

Made it myself. Since they've made it easier to post pictures on PM's, I'll try that out and copy some stuff there for you. Busy now so it won't be today!

I too would like to see how you did the reverse light.

No hurry. I just put an order in for the pieces needed. I will be a week or so before they arrive and whenever I find time to do the swap. Thanks again for your help.

The dual tail-light mod was pretty simple. For 80-82 cars, there is a hole in the bumper that lines up with a stud in the lens, perhaps so the factory doesn't put the wrong lens in the wrong spot. I drilled extra holes in my bumper so they would interchange. Here it is with paired red taillights. My LED lessons learned thread shows how I replaced every bulb (except the headlights), with LEDs.
