Default Does anyone remember...

Who did the mod where they made the top brake light LED?

The reason I ask is because sunday night i was driving home to Mass from NY on 95 in CT by exit 30; there was construction, traffic was very slow, and a white A4 1.8T with CT plates was in front of me. What intrigued me about this A4 was it looked different somehow. Then i realized that the brake light was LED's, instead of a bulb.

Just wanted to know if this was the same person on AW who did this mod.

Default That must be someone else. I'm in SoCal.

I didn't use LED bulbs, the kind that has the fixture of a standard bulb with many LEDs in it. I used LED clusters from Lumex. and drilled slightly bigger holes in the 3rd break light assembly. wired appropriately with resistors for the correct current draw.

that's pretty much it. email me if you have additional questions.
