LED's? Niceeeee.... do it kinda like the new XC60 tails that have that thin strip of running lights down the side, that would look good.

its honestly rather impractical for what little room there is. imo it wouldnt be worth the effort.

Superflux LEDs is what you want. The square LEDs not the round 5mm ones. Have you taken apart the uppers yet?

HIDPlanet.com for the info.

i wanted the round ones, i prefer there light output and coverage better. just needed to know what resistors to use with them.

to get them apart i used a dremel and a head gun
