Chuck Norris' car has some sick tail lights on them, and I was wondering how to set them up this way? Anyone know? Thanks

I was wondering if someone would bring up IoTus' lights. Way back when I got him to make me a set. I absolutely love them. Along with Dan Atkins' clear corner lights it really helps the look of my car

Archiving just so that I never lose this link!

I am definitely going to give these a try when the car gets back from the shop!
