Domer, LED's in the bumper... version 1.0. Next ones will be better mounted with smaller & brighter lenses. These have two banks each side, one for running lamps/brakes and one for turn signals. New setup will have same but with one bank being tail/brake and the other brake/turn.
cheers, Dave

i used the flat lights on mine.
one word of caution they are not all created equal so check the quality before purchasing http://www.germanlook.com/Html/Membe....php?RideID=96 |

This is my take on LEDs to keep retro modern.

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.
