rough pics, it shows the light with the first panel in it, the leds are going to be organized where two rows are on when the regular lights are on and then all will come on when the brakes are applied... i havent finished a full set yet but the total for all the supplies plus the 100$ for the lights comes close to 250$, plus a lot of frustrating time... now if anyone is still interested let me know... im gonna try and finish this light within the next week and will post up finished pics as soon as i can...

well before i finish im gonna get a set of 93-97 tail lights and do the whole red part, then in the top where the clear is im gonna make an actual arrow for the turn signale in amber or white and then everything else in the white will be for reverse...
and as far as having brighter lights and what not, anything can be added or taken off its just a matter of LED's and resistors

5 bucks is a good asking price. hahah. Just kidding. I'd spend up to 100 bucks for a complete plug and play kit. I don't know if I'm going too low.
