66 dart LED prototype working for now

I'd be interested in a set if you decide to sell them eventually. I could build my own but you have already done most of the R&D so let me know. Did you use a trailer led and how hard is it to seperate the LEDs? I've never done it before but I assume once you figure it out its fairly straight forward. Looks way cool man nice work.

if it's the car that the hood came from in your signature "65 dart" then 66 leds won't work. 65 has the backup light in one of the lenses. I don't have any housings and lenses to test out how I'd do it but it looks like I'd have to go to SMD leds to be able to get the light output correct and safe.

Nnope didn't use Trailer leds they are to widely spaced to give me the lumen or candela (sp) that I need to have a safe set of led's in my car. (oh and the wife's dart too!) believe me I tried a bunch of them (wasted some money trying to get anything to fit and look good.) finally I brought the housings to A truck stop that sold ton's of stuff "light,leds and chrome"
we went through every light and the owner was kind enough(and interested enough) to even order in some special ones that might fit.
nothing came close to fitting and looking good. all in all we looked at 43 round led's and 18 oval or rectangular led.
