A video on my 1970 GMC tail light that I made...
 
I made a video detailing how I installed an LED strip hidden below the tailgate and then wrote code to handle sequential tail lights, braking, backup, and so on:

It's also featured in the Feb 2024 edition of Hemmings Classic Car...

that's pretty insane, but cool. maybe you've been hit from behind too many times. I'd be curious what this looks like in the bright daylight from a distance.

What taillamp bulbs are you using? I just replaced my taillamp incandescent 1157s with LED's by Alopee. they're significantly brighter than OE and even the typical Sylvania's from the generic auto part store, and they're less money

Alopee bulbs found here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082WNNQ3W...t_details&th=1

This is the last forum I expected to see coding on ;-)

It's been a while since I've seen you post. It's good to hear from you. Is this a more detailed video of the LED light you had done before?

Yes, I made a video about 2 years ago when I was building it, and since I finally mounted it to the underbody last week, decided to update the video...

I do finish things eventually, but it's unpredictable :-)

Here's the Hemmings arcticle, though I don't think you can see the whole thing...
