Anyone know a good shop where I could get a Valenti style light installed? I'm terrible with electronics.

Is it the taillights? I did mine last night, took me around 10 minutes taking my time.

There is no electronic meddling involved in a taillight install, it's a plug that plugs in and 4 nuts that keep the taillights attached to the body. Think of it like a plug and socket.

It's the brake/reverse light. The car came with Tom's tails.

From what I recall, the install is pretty easy. It would be a perfect first mod to start learning about electronics.
By the way, are you selling the toms?

In that case, I recommend Black Beat Motor in El Monte.

They did mine and even did the wiring mod where the V and the brake light are separate, so the V is on with your headlights/parking lights while the middle flashes when you brake.

Good pricing too.

I'm going to have them fix a couple simple cosmetic things that have annoyed me.

He does everything for the twins, really nice guy.

He's done a lot of work on my car before I was comfortable enough to learn and work on it myself.

He sounded super confident on the phone and it's cool that they have a variety of parts in stock to choose.

No clue, I'm the worst with wiring, all I can tell you is he tapped into a wire and had custom wiring into the taillight wiring to make it work.
