So when your parks are on they are lit... Something like a T-Bird. Anyone? Eurythmian '96 Oxford White Mercury Mystique "Spree" Equipped with a stock 170hp Duratec 2.5L - V-6, 4 speed ATX It's a Tubeless Tique!!! ( DFW will understand... ) Purchased NEW @ $18,756.00 on 1/11/97 with 25 miles on the Odometer for the wife. Now has a little over 57,000 miles on it and it's my ride after getting the wife a 2000 Windstar SEL. High Beam - Cool Blues in all four Head Lights. 885s in Fogs. Head Light Switch Wiring Mod ? Can now run with Parks and Fogs together. Updated the sound system and did sound proofing (What a difference!). Dad of twins. I'm such the family man.

I'm replacing the spoiler and it has doesn't have the 3rd brake light on it like the factory one, so I want to remain legal. Of course, using LEDs. But how.....

Maybe somehow you could make a rig like that? * '99 Mystique LS * - No serious mods yet - Just got some blue LEDs for the switches, guages...

I followed one for at least ten miles trying to catch up to it -trying to figure out what it was. They light up like nothing I have ever seen before. How could we do this on our cars?

Maybe somehow you could make a rig like that? The Mark VIII used a special neon tube to accomplish that. The reflectors in our cars don't have enough room in them for more than a few LED's. The option I've been looking at is a 91-98 Thunderbird with the full-width taillight. The center sections use LED arrays to illuminate them.
