Default Tail Light Mod Complete

I finally got the tail light mod done that I've wanted to do for a while.
Make all 3 lights work for the brake & blinker.
It only took about 1/2 hour & $24.00 to complete.
I think it looks more complete.
What do you think?

The 1st picture is stock.
The 2nd picture has the drivers side done.
The 3rd picture shows both complete.

I followed this procedure:
http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...16#post5634116

the only difference is I used sockets from NAPA #LS6522
and used heat shrink tubing to seal up the solder joints.
It was real simple and took less than 1/2 hour.
Don't worry about color codes, the new sockets are labeled for
ground, minor & major wires.

yes, stock just looks bad... and wrong. Why don't the inside panels light up the the other ones?
Is that because of some obscure law?

I always thought the stock looks like a couple of bulbs are burned out.
Thanks for all the good comments!

I never saw what mine looked like stock. I have CDC sequentials and I only saw them twice. No one ever drives my car. Somehow seems like a waste of money if I can't enjoy seeing them.
