Custom LED Tail light project

[91darkness]

Hey guys,
I decided to start working on my led tail light project. I have been putting this off for years and am now just getting to it. With technology now readily and cheaply available i now have the means to do this the way i wanted too.
I will post better pictures when i get a hold of a digital camera.
Parts: black transparent vinyl film (smoked) ebay $9.99
3x3.25 led rings for brake lights ebay by (4 for $13 from china)
8" x1" yellow led bar for turn signal?(still to be determined. ebay)
I have kept all the original wiring from the brake light, and have come up with a solution for parking light and braking, but i will have to get some more solder before i start playing with it.

here is a very rough product, my brother helped me with placing the vinyl using his heat gun and the led light is taped into place for mock up.

cut out spaces for lights. used a box cutter.

sorry for the hiatus, ive been distracted of late. I have gotten the brake light part to work but, i still need to find a long turn signal yellow led. Wiring. Parking Light-Red,Black wires. Brake light- Black and Green w/yellow wire.

This is good stuff. I like the look of the LED mounts that you're using. Keep posting your updates. We're all curious to see how this turns out.

here is the first pic. I decided not to black them out with the tint i had for visual safety reasons. I still may tint them lighter later.
Ill add a pic with the brake lights later, It started to rain.
