tail light complete re-wire
 

just finished up the last of the work Iv been wanting to get done on my tails. all the bulbs are LED along with the center brake light.
now- brake/running lights moved to trunk mounted tails
-turn signals moved to old outer brake light spot
-amber turn signal area blacked out with plastic dip.
-revers lights and outer 194 bulb side marker not changed
yes its perfectly legal, and I know, a lot of you dont like the chrome trim.

Awesome!
Are the tail lights individual plugs on the Alero or a multi-bulb circuit like the Malibu?

Individual on the Alero. I've had both a Malibu and Alero...

Correct. Only took about an hour to get everything wired up. Including swapping bulb sockets, sodering, running new wire and putting in the resistors for all the LEDs. Looks tons better, having the turn signals red in the back to match my side mirrors really sold it for me.

the plasti dip looks.. weird. just kind of out of place, i think it might look better if you painted the whole bottom portion of the tails to color match the car.

Agreed. Just having that part blacked out doesn't look good, but its your car so as long as you're happy. Nice mod and kudos for thinking outside of the box. :)

the plastic dip turned out to look exactly like super tinted tails, I'll get a pic of it in the light of day sometime, it looks a lot better, with those pics^ having the flashlight kinda spotlighting it ruined the effect. but it matches my door handles to and I have the black side mirrors so its not completely out of place.

Thats the way to go!!! :haha:

Looks good, should of used vht nightshade instead of plasti-dip IMO lol

I wasnt trying to tint it. theres no bulb there, I wanted it 'painted' but this way if i decide I want to change it I can easily just peel it off.

Looks terrible IMO. Way to much going on there it just looks like a bunch of junk thrown everywhere. Not a fan of the new lighting either..but its your car..poor poor car..

AGREED! Does not flow good at all....

heres a better pic

reinforces that I don't like the black there, but it was worth a try!

ya do not like it either. to much going on need to VHT the whole taillight. were you painted over is the blinker.

Ya, the more I look at it the more I'm thinkin I'm going to just tint the whole the whole thing

maybe spraying some nightshade on the reverse light part may even it out, but I would say tinting the whole tail light is the best way to go.

whered u get the chrome trim?

local auto parts store or ebay.

Ya. Auto zone, then cut it fit and everything
