 The angle of the slots is wrong. It is like you are looking down into the lens..
Make the angle parallel with the ground to give it some depth.

              I just did a few more:
Testarossa lights (with the slats that run horizontally)
Countach lights on a red panel
OpelGT lenses horizontally (originally they are on a 45degree slope)
I have to get a few in before the deadline

              This is my Iron Cross Design.  Found these lights on a cool custom chopper site.

I haven't even decided who's design won yet. I have had a huge influx of work come in so I am working most of the time at present.

              Got it down to 4 designs I like. 2 of them being my own. Still haven't had a good look at them for a few days though. Too much on at present with rush jobs.

              Apparently based on voting I did in another thread I did. Now all I need to find is a good source for LED lights.

              as an ordinary consumer, this is where i got my leds: 
http://www.jamstrait.com/1157s.htm these leds in my experience are high quality, bright as hell , excellent socket fit, & has longitivity.
from what i have used in the past(APC=junk : really bad socket fit, brittle in contruction, leds burnt on an average of 1 month, intermittent--just hookey design & craftsmanship). 
the jamstrait leds have yet to fail me..
btw my current tail lights look like this pic: i used lens tint spray(painted from the inside) to get the "smoke" look.  the leds blasts through them quite nicely.
