My LED projects, LED tail lights, interior lights, other

I was planning on making boards for the tail lights actually.  I'm not that concerned with the retrofit of the tail lights, I'm more concerned with having controllers and power supplies that will do what I want.  I think Keith and I will try and build something though.

what i meant if i just do boards and will not be responsible installing them
boards + probably 2 daves optidrives unless whole led set up will be less then 2amps

Misha have you been able to put any leds in the 03-05 Sedan tail lights? if so I am interested in sending you mine to get it done..

I'll be attempting this in the summer if I have some free time.  I'll keep you up to date if I get this started.

Hell yeah ! please do Tim.

mounted backup leds on board with 2 versions, not sure which ill go with.

question: what should creep4 be run at? on spec sheet it says 3.6v-4.6v
this will be for backup lights only (probably for strobes as well)

i heard ppl run them at 80mA, at what Fv (3.6 or 4v)?, they will be on sharp voltage reg so i guess max is 4V per string of 3

worked more on mirror lights and headlight turn signal. replaced red/orange leds that i originaly planned with amber couse red/orange might be too red to be legal so im going with amber. hope i have enough amber once
