Flush Rear Marker Lights

Looking for the rear marker lights that are flush and have the corvette logo on them. Any help would be greatly appreciated

gscreationsllc.com ( http://www.gscreationsllc.com/produc...roducts_id/112 )... that's where I got mine. but be warned... they are not just bolt up replacements. They consist of a flat piece of lexan that has been etched with the logo and get taped to the outside of the car. Then there is a lexan piece that holds the LED that gets taped to the inner fender and shines through the hole in the body... and that hole in the body will have to be trimmed so the tips of the flags are lit up.

Here is a pic of mine:

It seems a little dim... especially if it's not completely dark outside. I was thinking about getting some brigher LED's to see if that helps but have not done that yet.

Also, if looking at it from an angle, it doesn't appear to light up the whole emblem because of the angle that the light is coming through the hole in the back (as well as there is no diffuser for the light). Other than that... I love the look.

Do they come in red? The LED's would have to be red since the Lexan is not tinted red. Also, it would be very important that the majority of the light go out from the end like a flashlight since it is shining through a hole.

I have these as well, love the look. I get some "under glow" from light leaking down fender well, not planed for, and I may someday build a light dam.

Overall I am happy with the product... I just wish that the LED was brighter and that you could see a more uniform glow from any angle, but I don't see how that could be accomplished and still stay so flat to the body without really cutting into the body a lot.

I wish they would have had Jake skulls when I bought mine. That would be AWESOME and might not require you to dremel out the body.
