LED's

Hey guys. Ive wanted to convert my tail lights And marker lights And turn signals to LED's but if i could find some there gonna cost me an arm and a leg for them or i have them made. So Im gonna make my own. Im just looking for suggestion and any one who has had experience making LED lights.

By the time you source off-the-shelf high-luminescence LEDs, current-limiting resistors and fabricate a mountable enclosure, I can't imagine you'd have saved much money (if any, really). You might actually be out money.
