What I did for my LEDS

i did pretty much the same thing using these:

I liked them because they're concave in shape and the led's are mounted in a plastic chrome reflector. They're friggin bright!
I know slantsixdan would disapprove because of the light refraction thing, but my tailight lenses are vertically ribbed, they don't have a centered refractor so I went with it.
Also, since I changed the front parking/turn indicator to LED as well, I now need a PG-3 LED specific flasher unit, otherwise the flashers won't work correctly.
