Re: European tail light harness
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. Thomas

Re: European tail light harness
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.

Re: European tail light harness
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... ;-) |

Re: European tail light harness
Max,
Waiting to see what you have done. Are you able to make copies or show how you have modified the lamps? Ciao.

Re: European tail light harness
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 |
