I'm a visual learner and this video was excellent. Thank you for doing it! I am curious, were you able to get a new inverter and new EL tape for your lights? It would be awesome if you posted a video on getting that to work. I'd like to tackle this for my '88 Brougham.
No problem, Im glad it cpuld help somebody out. Yea so far been real busy with work and life, haven't really had much chance to get working on a solution, but as soon as I do, I will make a video on it. Thanks.
Yeah, I've seen a couple people go with Led's, as another option, some look good and some kinda tacky, me personally I really want to go with a more original look, but if i can't find a way , I will go with a certain Led.
@@wacoflipp2458 Thank you for the reply. I have the huge service manual for the car and will be digging to see how it is wired. The video is awesome. Thank you.
@@wacoflipp2458 I have a 1989 Brougham as well, but mine is a 21 foot long Hearse. I have NO idea where the coach builder might have hidden the inverter. It has been so very HOT here in South Carolina to even think about crawling around in the back of the Hearse till it gets cooler.
@@davewilliams1097 Yea I hear ya, its hot out here in texas too. If I would take a guess I would say they hid it somewhere behind those side panels in there towards the back end. But that's just my guess. Good luck on that!.
Yes, the inverter had power to it and from it to the actual lights. One of the lights had the clear plastic cover missing from it thats why i think they were not working, im trying to find other ways to go about it. Will post a video, once i find a good alternate way.
@@karlgrill4665 The inverter is usually in the trunk on the left hand side behind the carpet, its a small black box with connectors to it, get a voltage meter and check the wires to see if you have power going through the wires. To and from the inverter.
@@wacoflipp2458I had the inverter in my hands already. There is 1 plug with only 1 grey wire,thats the one from the taillights right? So i guess i have to turn the headlights on to and check then the wires right?

Thanks for info 👍
Did you ever figure out the deal on them opera lights. Sure would be appreciated thanks, if you can look up Kevin Goins cts Cadillac ❤

Thanks for this 🤞🏽
No problem, just trying to pass along the knowledge!!!.... 👍
It’s a guy wit a box Chevy put LEDs in his Opera Lights and it came out CLEAN!

Fixed my opera lights with the 12 to 100 W converter box that’s located in the trunk.
Noted we couldn’t find the box in my cousins 1992
None of my 4 lights work. Do you know when the lights are supposed to come on? Doors open only or with the headlights? Thanks, Dave.
From my knowledge I believe the lights only come on when your headlights are turned on. But I am not sure if yours would be different or not.

Hey man, i drive a 87 Brougham. Did your inverter works? Im struggeling with the same problem.
Yes, the inverter had power to it and from it to the actual lights. One of the lights had the clear plastic cover missing from it thats why i think they were not working, im trying to find other ways to go about it. Will post a video, once i find a good alternate way.
@@wacoflipp2458 Before i buy new lights,i wanna check if my inverter is working but i dont know how to do that?

@@karlgrill4665 yes correct, turn your headlights on then check to see if you have power running through the wires.
Thanks bro
