Upgrading My 1972 LSA Swap Monte Carlo To LED Tail Lights! (Bought The Kit 6 Yrs Ago..Never Opened)

What happens here

Carefully remove the old incandescent bulb sockets by cutting the wires from the car's harness. Using automatic wire strippers (Vise Grip brand), strip the insulation from the ends of the newly identified wires from the car's harness and the corresponding wires on the LED circuit board. Connect the wires using the supplied wire nuts, ensuring a secure connection. The presenter jokes about trusting the wire nuts despite preferring soldered connections.

Goal: Wire the new LED boards to the car's harness

creative commons music in the background over here just to have a loud background and i'll just yell at you guys how about that i don't know it's a struggle but hey we got to work at night we got to work at night that's just how it goes we'll get it done either way if you don't have some wire strippers like these i highly recommend some kind of a game changer do you see how they work i feel like you're you don't you don't fully appreciate what you're looking at here i will demonstrate okay so as i take this fragile piece of circuit board and beat it up you just stick it in there and how about that wow isn't that way cooler than the pinchy kind yeah pretty freaking sweet anyway let's get to putting these in and see if they work well now we know where the wires are going to go so we got to put the board actually in there and replace um this top piece where the old socket was we got to put a grommet in here the grommet comes in the kit so i'm just going to you know try to put this in here somehow maybe i'll get it in without looking like an idiot i don't know probably not but i would like to point out that you can still buy these things um i know mine are six and a half years old like we've covered a couple times before but those kits are still for sale like opgi and stuff like that so if you have one of these cars i would recommend them because you know before this debacle when i actually did have them on there they look pretty freaking sweet and we are gonna get to see how sweet they actually look once i get these put in so we got this fish through there as my knee pops because i'm old man 24 really just just falling apart these days i guess um yeah i got a little fish through there these just kind of lay in here and then they want you to take these foam gasket things like with those i'm going to use the new ones and you put them over there put the lens on and the lens being on this one holds these down uh but we're not gonna do that right now i'm gonna wire them make sure it's all good before i go ahead and screw them all in i think we've all been there where you know you put something together and you're all confident and gung-ho bolted all up it's good to go and then something's messed up and you got to take it apart and that sucks we're gonna wait for the final assembly until we know they work i don't really know how i
