Euro tails?....
Anyone with pictures/video of the euro taillights at night? How about with the turn signals lit?
Trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger but have never seen them lit up...
Thanks a million!

I have them on my car but I don't have any night pics. The red lights are like the stock lights. When you turn on your lights they light. When you hit the brakes the get bright. The lower lights are your turn signal light. They flash amber.

Unless you leave them wired incorrectly, then the yellows come on when you hit your brakes along with the red, but only the yellow flashes when you put the turn signal on. If you apply the brakes with the turn signal on the red shines solid but the yellow flashes.

the yellows shouldn't come on with the brake. did you cut the white wire under the dash near the brake pedal?

Whoever did your mod didn't snip the white wire under the dash. When you do that it seperates the turns from the stops and they work independently. You shouldn't get ambers when you hit the brakes if the mod is done right. Check the installation instructions on PFYC.com and you'll see a pic of the wire.

I actually prefer it this way. Thanks for the advice though. I figure the more attention the rear end gets the less likely someone will run into it. The turn signals still function properly. I did note in my original post that my lights are wired incorrectly, by the way.

There is no panel to fabricate, you can buy that part from GM.
I have one in my garage that I never used.
If you were close I'd give it to you.
