I got them on ebay as well, I could not not find them in any auto specialty store around here, being in NY, you may have more luck.

Whlkev, I have not idea how Tommy can fit a 24 LED panel in there without modification. Do you guys just leave the back hosing out?

the panel is pretty flat, the thickness is the same i believe, just that his panel is bigger than mine

it's a very tight fit, but we just squeeze it in there and the kit comes with many connectors so everything works and no, we both have the covers on.

very bright indeed.

Welkev, your is a 12 LED, I am assuming its a 3X4 panel. My was a 15 LED and it was a 3X5 panel. The 24 LED must be a 6X4 panel if I am right. Assuming those Festoon LEDs are pretty much all the same size, there is no way you can fit 4 LED vertically with the rear housing on.

his might've look something like this



only measure 38mm (1.49") x 38mm x 4mm (0.16") thick

even their 48LED measure exactly the same size, smaller led of course

it fits just fine

Thanks for the link. The 36 LED one looks to be the brightest, but its hard to compare light out in pictures. I wish they would put the wattage and the Lumens on the site. The one I got was 3 watts and 65 Lumens I believe.
