I think all I want to do is: lose the wing and SS badges, have a Stage 1 kit installed, and change to a TWM shifter. I figure this is a reasonable place to stop for a daily driver. I don't really want to break the bank. There's a point of diminishing returns in all performance projects, and I figure that beyond a GMS1 kit, the cost-per-added-horse jumps dramatically. OK, fill me in on what I'm missing, particularly if I'm missing reliability/safety mods. TIA!

also in a side note i went to my local dealership and asked if they could install power everything in my balt and that i had the doors and switches, but he said that that was physically impossible, that you cant use OEM power options if u don't already have them....:notrust:.... now i call BS but if u guys have any insight on that that'd be great.

Has anyone on here ever turned their 3rd brake light into turn signals? I have searched the threads but can't find anything.

Currently I have 3 x 12 LED wedge base bulbs (921/R12) in the 3rd brake light. What I would like to do is have the outer bulbs as turn signals and brake lights. Looking for a "How To" on the wiring or if it is even possible. There are only 2 wires supplying the power to all 3 bulbs as in the pic below. Anybody know how to set it up like this? I plan to nightshade most of the lens except with an arrow on the left side, an arrow on the right side and the word "stop" in the middle (or something to that effect). I still want all 3 bulbs to light up if I am just stopping but lets say I am turning left - the left bulb would flash while the other 2 bulbs would light up for braking.

My opinion is that this would look good and will do it if possible but will also take into account any "E-pinions" from experience. Here are some pics...




Any help would be appreciated.
