    light up middle tail light bird

    so i have seen it on videos and pictures but i cant find it. u know in the middle of your tail light wher u have the bird sticker and the words trans am over it? welli have seen some guys with a light up rear light back there, whe it is not a brake light, but it lights up when u turn the headlights on. i was wondering if these are custome made or if u could buy them somewhere. i have a video of it but it is to big to post..i will take a snapshot and post shortly. thanks for all advice

    They are all custom made and the guy wont make them. I asked him myself(the guy who did it first)

    You basically have to get some good quality lexan and form it to the shape of the filler panel and then cut out the mounts and glue them on.

    The write up is for the front plate bird. Not the rear center piece.

    your right SandmanWs7. i thought i saw it here, but it was on ls1tech.com. same guy with the xtinct plate josh mentioned. here ya go: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/appear...anel-pics.html

    to the op: i think he rigged it for the brakes, but if you talk to some guys here i'm sure you can figure out how to utilize your parking lamps. shouldnt be too hard. i'd offer advice, but i havent done anything like this yet. good luck, hope that helps

    Man that's sweet looking.

    Btw, what kind of spoiler has he got on the rear hatch? I've never seen anything like that.

    I'm gonna bug Afterthoughts about this. They came up with the clear front plate which can be masked and painted, i'm sure they can get a plastics company to form something like this for the tail in clear plastic too. It's way bigger than a front plate though, sooooo it could get pricey

    yes, the 2 door's would light up "sunfire" above the license plate. I believe some of the fieros gt's lit up "pontiac" in their filler from the factory also.

    Please do. . . because I agree with you, this is something that should have came stock. I like this better than the front license mod. Im gonna try to get a spare filler and try it!

    i have an 02 sunfire im trying to sell. it says pontiac above the plate. i took off the wing and the 3rd brake light was part of the wing, so i wired the 'pontiac' as my 3rd brake light. it was pretty sweet.
