i think it would be pretty cool. not something i have seen. me personally i would probably make it another brake light, but thats just me.

That would be pretty cool, I would have mine glow red to match the rest of the stuff on my car

I was into exterior light modifications but i kinda grew out of them i guess. I had 7 color underglow on my old car.
I think you mod is good in theory but you would ave to keep a few things in mind.
If you don't block off the light source then it will glow out of the "PONTIAC" and also shine on the ground. This will divert attention from where you want it. Also dim the lights.
Also make sure your light source is very bright, i have been disappointed by what i thought were going to be bright lights and turned out otherwise..

Remember too, any rear facing light has to be red. I know it's not a big deal most places but trust me, they fine you for it here. I had blue led license plate lights and I made it 2 nights before I got stopped and ticketed for it.

Yeah, I remember seeing the post too about this. IIRC the guy cut out the letters. Used a enclosure of sorts behind the lettering with an LED strip, that way you didn't get the "glow" so to speak.
Wish I could help ya out with pics but can't remember the guy who did it.

bf was telling me he was doing his for the 3rd brake light. think he is using frosted lexan and putting leds all the way around it, hasnt said anything else about it.

i have seen this before, you need to construct a box-like structure, place an led strip inside of it and wire it to your rear brakes...it looks very cool when done

I saw a post of someone who did this awhile ago. i believe the same post as mentioned above. it was pretty cool but i cant help on the pics either idr where i found it
