Cruzing right along on this second one. Upper and lower sections awaiting resistors.

In case you were wondering.. there are exactly 100 LEDs in each tail light. I didn't plan that either I just counted them.

You never know, a lot of people spend big dollars to have something hard to get and makes their car unique. If you are willing to produce more of these, place it out there. Otherwise, anyone that wants to do it has a lot of info in this thread along.

Keep it coming, it looks sharp!

Not yet, but I will next time I put them on the car. They are sitting on my desk now.

I got my resistors today. All wired up! I'll probably glue them into the housings tonight.
