Default LED Tailights - A new approach

This mod is not for everyone.

I used a different approach to LED tailights, from the plug-in after-market bulbs.
I have been working on this for some time, and wanted to show this at TT-East in May, but I did not have it fully designed or complete enough to show this.
This mod is similar in complexity to the removing the headlights. This is a complete custom install.
There are no "kits" available to do this.
This is my own design, which I have re-worked many times.
I just got these installed today, and I will report findings from my night drives tomorrow.

Oh yea, they are very bright.

Default do you expect to see each individual LED or just a mass of light?
