this is the first time ive used switch backs...but these were off ebay.

needed sockets to rewire the all the rear lights and make these work







back up lights
stock left, led right(they dont look that blue in person) i would have preferred bright white-no blue at all...but you get what you pay for on ebay lol at least they are still brighter



turn signals
stock left, led right




finished product. all leds in the rear: in trunk(resued from cobalt), lic-plate lights(reused from cobalt map mirror lights), 4 running lights(oem only ran the bottom two), 5 brake light(oem only used the bottom two and high mount 3rd), turn/back up light(shared- turn signal cancels out back up light)



new running light setup



new brake light setup...way more visible

Here's what they look like in daylight, with fully blacked out housing, so nothing to reflect off of. They do the job just fine on their own. Also demonstrating the remote start alarm a little. love that thing. Sorry for the double post. Thought it belongs here too.

Mostly, because I started it. And it's directly related to the video. And I believe that people that already get notifications for it might be the most interested. ...

I don't believe in starting new threads for every update on something that's been done to the car and is already covered.

Does that answer your question?

P.S. Why would you re-bump it? If you're not interested, why not just keep scrolling?

It looks like you have to get those separately now. The setup I bought about a year ago had built in resistors and was still $130.
