New rear lighting
not for my neon (surprisingly).
okay i'm curious to know
you know how the mustangs turn signal is...
is there a way to integrate that into the ENTIRE rear lights of the car starting at the center of the lights where the second 'D' is in DODGE) the left or right depending on the directional?
it be stellar and ...well i kinda wanna do it if i were to ever get this type of vehicle.
thoughts?

For those of you who do not like the Dart's taillights, you may now be in luck. It appears that the Dart's new cousin in China, the Fiat Viaggio, has taillights and a trunk that should fit the Dart.
The Viaggio appears to have the same rear quarter panel stampings. The rear bumper may or may not have to be changed.
basically similar to how this guy's lights are but not NEARLY as complicated.. just turn signals left and right
... maybe seizure brake lights too

well since no one has any clues with that.. heres another question...
okay.. so long story short, got an idea using the diamond LED strips and it's going to be a bitch of an idea but i wanna try it.
problem. I'm unsure if THIS is going to be a complete PROPER circuit so i'm asking for your help. the image .. truly as of RIGHT NOW, idk the size of it.
I also have a link to the illustrator file if you have it and know how to fix this if it is wrong. Thanks much!!
EDIT:
btw, these led's will be going behind all the halos on the back of the tailight themselves. No idea how just yet, trying to figure out the wiring of it first. then i'll deal with mounting
and it won't be in the order like you see in the top left. it will be layed out as needed.

Yup, been there before. Here's the big thing. These boards already have resistors in them and are NOT led's alone. thus i'm asking. I don't want to cut up a bunch of these for nothing you know?
but thank ya sir!

You cannot make what you want to happen..sorry. Those LED's are all ran in series/parallel and on a dual circuit. and what you want would be to ask for them to all be ran on individual circuits. Talking about every LED need to be wired up seperately to a 555 timer switch and programmed via resistors/capacitors. WAY more work and efffort than it's worth.
I've built a few "Sequential" brake light kits for Mustangs before. There are multiple bulbs that you can use for multiple circuits within your 555 timer. An LED strip has 3 hookups using 2 wires just like a trailer does. Tails and brake/directionals.
Besides, MOST LED's run 3 to a clip. What that means is 3 LEDs ran in series and then are paralleled to the rest of the LED 'groups". Groups being 3 LEDs.
Confusing...yes it is.

the top video would be a cool idea to do but yeah. way more work is totally true. the other thing is i'm going to be starting to finalize the making of my taillight.
I'm having 2 halos inside the the taillight, not 3 and those will be constant on with the parking lights and flash with the signal lights. The Brake lights will be these super tiny HELLA bright led's that i'll be cutting in 3's. I'm trying to figure out the best possible, easiest way to do it so it's visible during the day time. its not anything i'm going to put on my car unless I can get a 100% perfect working taillight set up. It's just product i was able to demo and i said i'd do this. but thank you for the response.
