LED lights

Hi,

Does anyone know where i can get some specific LED rear lights from?

I am after 3 strips which are nearly as wide as the rear arch maybe 1 or 2 rows of LEDs to use for the rear lights

Thanks

In my case I have used led 'replacement' bulbs which use my existing housings. I have 90 leds inside the cabin area which are all of the 'surface mount' variety and they are hidden away all over the place for an ambient light effect.

The biggest problem with leds is that they often have a very narrow angle of view and practically disappear in daylight. I made some led lights for my Nissan 200 and had a few people nearly crash into my rear because they didn't see the brakelights (about 60 leds in each light!)

Try and find the newer Luxion Star leds - expensive but worth it if you are determined to use leds.





Cheers,
Raz
