    Something I've been thinking about for......2 years now.......how can the tails get modified to address the LEDs in them to dance? Well.......its done.

    I worked with JPCustoms (IG JPCustomsLLC) out of TN for these. Yup....sourced out light work lol - but.....I know my limits. In a set like this, he easily has 60+ hours of labor involved. From the disassembly of the tails, resoldering EVERY LED in them to be able to address them in the programming, adding amber turns, etc........its insane. IE.....no, not cheap (I won't say what they cost......please contact JP for a quote!)

    Video explains all of their functions:

    I like that.

    The real question is where yours lights up ‘hellcat’ can that be customized and shown while driving?

    Cause I’m thinking ‘Bite Me’, or something so I dont need to put my finger out the window.

    I'm sure LUXE can make it say whatever you want. It just lights up when you have your parking lights on

    I get that you can’t do the dancing lights while driving, but they should have an option to just have that “hellcat” lit while driving.

    And an app to let you customize the text.

    I guess I’m confused. In the video it looks like it’s turning on and off with the lights?

    Its just a vinyl overlay on the tail "racetrack" - blocks off the red, so the cut part shines through with the parking lights.

    I just watched it again. I’m at the dealership on my phone. I’m old and the screen is small.

    The vinyl is on the outside or a reverse image inside the taillight?
