Hi Max

In edition to the tail light harness you can be sure there is no difference between 90 zr-1 and 90 L98...but why the hell do you want to change from the american style to the european??? Orange flash light are really ugly in corvette...sorry I`d never change it in my zr-1. I modifited a lot of c4 in the other direction after getting a german title (registration documents) the german TÜV.

Ok let`s wait for your hand mades...here is a pic from my job I did last spring, a led ring in each lamp. I`m using 9V for normal light and the full 12V for the brakes.

Nice idea, but i think that during the day they aren't so much visible.
I try this solution too, but with the sun the led are invisible.
I modify all the tail light with a very big work...i do it when i have free time...Now i'm almost reay to modify the harness... ;-)

Max,

Waiting to see what you have done. Are you able to make copies or show how you have modified the lamps? Ciao.

Hi Dom!!!!!
How are you???
Able to make copies of my lenses job???

Yes, i can!!!!! :-)
So, it's hand made, it's a prototype tail light, i don't know how many time resist the bonding...i use my Z only few time and only with sun.

I can't guarantee a long life of my tail light with daily use :-(

Wait wait wait...I think that anyone who have just a little handling ability can made it....
Ciaoooo
