I think it would look better with more LEDs in each row.

The cadillac led break lights look extremely sexy and sharp, but they have a very tight row of LEDs.

the reflectors on the cover might give it the effect of having more leds... maybe?

Greetings all!

I'm currently in Japan and have seen the kits to do such a mod. It's price is somewhat pricy. Your better off just buying some new tail lights.

Also available are LEDS to replace your current lamps in your tail lights and such.

ebay is your friend...sometimes!!

100pc 5mm Red LEDs for $21 shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...829136567&rd=1
100pc 3mm Red LEDs for $21 Shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...828571568&rd=1

I have bought LEDs from this company before and they are always cheaper than the rest. Just remember its getting shipped from Hong Kong.

Hope this helps,
