Default 6 Tail lights?

Has anyone added two more tail lights to make it 3 on each side? I remember some people doing this to their C2's and it looked great in my opinion that is. If anyone has done this please post some pics ok?

I recently talked to a person with a 1963 coupe who said when he bought it, it had 4 lights on each side. He felt that was too much and now has 3 on a side. I would have loved to see that !

I seen a C5 with it done once before, it also had spinners, that should tell you where to catagorize it I think you should see it first. speeking of opinions: it looks horrible.

There was a post on here not too long ago with a C5 that had three tail lights on each side and looked like crap. It does look good on the C2's but they have a completely different looking tail light.

On the upside, it would give you that chance to run a third pair of billet chrome logo'd C5 tail light louvers...
