using a heat gun to open the tail lights? to the best of my knowledge, you can't bake the tails and expect them to work afterwards

daviditaly, you are now officially a rash we can't seem to get rid of on these forums...

OP, nice effort, but an LED "conversion" implies that the OEM halogens have been replaced with LEDs. Keep up the effort and keep trying new things.

Got some pm's to post some pictures.

Got these from e-bay oem.





Did not open them up but drilled them from the back.






Got these led's and registors from e-bay













I did not want that bright look. I was making sure that my brake lights are brighter. I wanted them on with my parking lights.
