Did I read somewhere recently about someone illuminating the rear reflector panel on the trunk lid, maybe with neon technology? What was involved? I "searched" but couldn't find.

I thought Chris Hightower was working on this a while back. Not sure if anything came out of it or not.

Have you ever driven behind your car at night?
They would look sweet lit up.

good thing you've got plenty of time to do this,, i feel sorry that you can't drive your contour, i know you have to miss it. i might get a 98+ trunk lid if this looks good and is easy enough to do.

Ya i tried LED's and it don't look right you get one bright spot. Neon is the only way pretty much but im trying a new way the neon was way to bright.
