LEDs for 3rd Brake Light

More info at http://www.customdynamics.com/motorc...%20Accessories

What do you think? The 2nd pic is able to be cut every 1.2 inches. The first comes in pre-cut lengths. My car is still at the body shop, so i can't do any measuring.

Ehh.... click the link. The flexible strip of !40! LED's (approx 5.7") is $50. A more reasonable option seems to be the 1ft flexible strip with 24 LED's (every 0.5") for $50. I'll have to measure the stocker and see how long the strip is.

Damn, the strip is freaking 22" long. It'll cost you 200 to make the whole tail light up. Or if you keep the existing tail light and just have the LED's on either side, you'lll probably get a thick/thin effect on your tail light at the edges.

How bright are those LED's going to be anyways?

Will the single strip show up enough?
