Have you thought about putting sequential tail lights on the Merc? I think they could look pretty sweet!

I'm a big fan of them I just have no car to put them in. Will probably put some in my dads 79 mustang pace car.
Good luck with them, I am taking circuitry classes right now as well so I may build some up rather than buy them1985 LTD Crown Victoria - Currently restoring after she caught fire!

first off ima give a BIG shout out to marquisman for my new tail lights! he gave me hell of a deal and was a great purchase... and here is the build-up
last picture before taking the crappy broken lights ive had in since i bought the car
got the whole back section pulled off. the old on top new on bottom. the only thing that i reused was t\the reverse light lenses and the chrome trim from below the drivers side tail light. everything else that i received was in better condition and went on the car

these things were COVERED on the back with the most dirty and shit ive EVER seen on anything. 3 hours later this along with the ligths were cleaned up about as much as i was gonna worry about.
beginning the pile of reusable chrome going back on the car, and separated the lens from the tail light so i could spray the inside with a fresh coat of reflective paint.
he said the black was pretty rough and could use a coat of paint. so i pulled everything of it and instead of satin, went with gloss because i thought maybe itd match the car color nicely without changing the original look too much. i was very pleased with how it turned out. i was a bit worried at first that it would look out of place. but after getting it back on the car it turned out really nice

as ive done before, i did this on both my LTD and Merc with teh original set of tail lights. i pulled the lens off to clean a little bit of mold in the inside corners. then i sanded down the inside of houseing to prep it for some metallic silver to help reflect the ligth like new again.
at this time i also dremeled out the 3rd hole where there would usually be a 194 base bulb and socket. i made up a template and cut the hole out to fit a standard 1157 dual filament socket into it. so now i have 3 on each side that light up with the brakes and flashers and such as opposed to my old 2 outside ones.
got the inside sprayed with the first coat of metallic. makes a hell of a difference after its done.
heres the test fit in the car with the triple 1157 sockets. first try and it fit perfect. i was very suprised. and it turned out GREAT!
