I am in the process of trying to do this mod myself. I'm going to have the outter rings light up during normal driving and the outter tails will be fully lit when braking, the ring around the light housign will also function for turning. Just need an extra set of tails to do this......

Yes, but that is an example of what he wants his to look like w/o reflecting. I think that's what he meant, I know that's what I mean

If I can get a second pair of lights, I can make a how-to. But until then I'm not 100% on how to do the wiring to make them function like a corvette's tails.
