Here you are Racelook. I had a place called TAP Plastics build the bases. They are made of 2 pieces of 1/4" clear red Lexan I think. They cut them out and glued them together for me, as the process is a little tricky, bubbles form between the 2 pieces. Then I trimmed the edges to fit it the houseing. I then marked the pattern I wanted and drilled holes with a smaller bit then a larger bit but not all the way through, so the LEDs have a stop. The outside are red, the center one is Royal Purple, a color I had to get from a company called Luxeon in Canada. I had to build the houseing for it to match the red LEDS. I don't remember the impedence, but then I figured out which resistors to use to have full power for brake and half power for running lights.
