now, this is just the way the customer wanted them, you can design them any way you want.

Question
How what is the resistance of those resistors you got there on the breadboard? Some LEDs already have current limitting resistors. Just wondering, might save a couple dollars and time. Either way, it looks nice=)

looks nice...it would be really sweet to see them done with smaller LEDs spaced really close together, if that is even possible.

resistance varies by the way the board is built.

you can't use anything smaller than 5mm, it won't stand up to heat.

the plastic faceplate of the tail is molded to refract light more towards the inside of the led's where blank space exists. I own a caddy. They are 5mm

With all the stuff you have developed in the way of lighting O.L.T, you need to put together a package.
We could send you our taillights, headlights, and clusters and get them back PIMPIN!!!!!!!!!!!
We need to let Lexus know about OLT, they may want to hire him!

No we don't, because then the mods will cost 5x as much!
