    Thumbs up S55 treatment and add lights.

    The job is done. Looks exactly like yours, Spub. GREAT. Thanks for the pics. Took them to the paint shop for a guide. Charlie, thank for your advice. Got the job done for $100. While they were out I used your how to post to add the additional lights to the lower 2 chambers and replaced the back up lights with halogens. Thanks guys. Charlie, what is next, got another idea for a project? Appreciate it. Dennis Beers on me, guys.

    Dennis, I am glad the job went well for you. Lets see some pics of your car.

    The only other "mod" I 've come up with was the "Lower Grill Mod" that some Cobra Mustangs have.

    David, I have seen several post by Mary on how to upload pics but most of this computer stuff is beyond me. I guess I should do the work to figure it out one of these rainy days. Hope to see you soon. Dennis

    I know this is an older thread. I have the S55 treatment on my tail lights, however only two of the three strips illuminate. I know there is a thread somewhere that I can make it so all three tail light strips illuminate. I believe it involves adding two additional bulbs to the bottom of the tail light. Can anyone direct me to the thread or let me know the procedure? Thank you in advance.

    Since we are necro bumping, anyone have these? https://www.amazon.com/Xtune-ALT-JH-.../dp/B017XNE2GO . Was thinking of getting a pair, S55 them, then putting in some LEDS to brighten them back up.

    I did the same thing - full treatment - added 4 more lights, 2 per side and installed 15W HIDs in the reverse lights.

    I know many people use Duplicolor when painting the tail lights and reverse lights. What does everyone use for Clearcoat when doing the S55 Treatment?

    DupliColor also has a clear coat (albeit for wheels) *Used it when I did mine (14 years ago).

    Thank you! I am re-doing the S55 treatment on my rear fascia and tail lights. What product did you use for the paint?
