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

What happens here

The presenter notes the original green paint beneath the newer black paint, indicating the car's history. He mentions that old screws often come in different sizes, requiring careful organization.
