them. I am pretty sure it was a Xenon gas, reacted quicker than the standard bulbs too. The 94-97 T-Birds use LEDs in them, if you look at one next time you are behind, some have slammed their trunks one too many times, actaully makes some LEDs break or disappear.

Chris Are you going to have it lite like the mark VIII adn the Catera? or is it going to be like a third stop light?
Also The neon you used was it red or a white neon? I noticed in crutchfield and in wal*mart they have these neon sticks. is that what you used?

OOOhhhhh, oooooooooo me me.
Chris, congratulations. I took mine apart over a year ago, trying to see how I could fit a few bulbs in there. Got discouraged, put it back together.
Please... more info. Prices, on-car pics, etc...
Great JOB!
