A video on my 1970 GMC tail light that I made...
I made a video detailing how I installed an LED strip hidden below the tailgate and then wrote code to handle sequential tail lights, braking, backup, and so on:

Re: A video on my 1970 GMC tail light that I made...
that's pretty insane, but cool. maybe you've been hit from behind too many times. I'd be curious what this looks like in the bright daylight from a distance.
What taillamp bulbs are you using? I just replaced my taillamp incandescent 1157s with LED's by Alopee. they're significantly brighter than OE and even the typical Sylvania's from the generic auto part store, and they're less money Alopee bulbs found here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082WNNQ3W...t_details&th=1

Re: A video on my 1970 GMC tail light that I made...
It's been a while since I've seen you post. It's good to hear from you. Is this a more detailed video of the LED light you had done before?
