Re: Just a quick question..
If you had a spare tail light unit you could send me, with the flying lead and connector still attached, I could build an LED one for you. My new job starts Monday so it would probably be a couple of weeks before I could get it back to you though.
Shouldn't cost too much either, I'll only charge a tenner on top of materials as you're 400GB

Re: Just a quick question..
Yeah, I can build an LED board but I'll do it in the kitchen where it's warmer at the moment
All I need is a tail light unit with the wiring loom still attached so I have the OE connectors to use
I'm thinking of doing one for the 24 so I'll post pics when it's done

If I use 3.3v LEDs I use a 560ohm resistor (wattage rating dependant on the number of LEDs I am using) but I can get 12v LEDs which have the resistor built in
