Well, i am actually looking for replacement leds for the rear back window bulbs. In order to make the 3rd brake light, light up when the parking lights were on, it would be on 24/7 unless you redid some of the wiring at the switch that would tell them to turn off when the car's lights are on. Not my sorta thing. But I can get you leds for it.
Well i wanted to do the red plastic strip on the trunk lid between the two tail lights. I was thinking maybe like 10 leds would do the trick, not really sure. What i needed to know would be the about of resistance on the 12 volt to make that many light up. I am not good with that yet. I was thinking of making it jsut run with a relay hooked up to the parking light switch. If anyoen has doen this lete me know. I saw one on the parkway the other day and thought it looked awsome.
