led tails
well just last week one of the sockets burnt out in my left tail light on my 87 ford ranger XLT. Take the advantage of having something broke to fix i thought of a plan to create all new costom LED tail lights for less then a $100 bucks the looked good and functioned well. LUcky enough i got my own personal dremal for christmas and i have a new toy to play with. this is what i have done so far.
i flushed mounted a led clear red tail, with a 3 wire system that matches perfectly with the one found in the upper light of the tail. I plan to finnish its with matching the rest of the tail with the paint on the back of the truck, and still matianing the back up light but taping it of to give it a special shape. I will keep you updated as i go along if anyones interested.

yeah a array, i don't have the time or the steady hand to create one out of replacement bulbs. Th whole array is held in by the black rubber grommet shown. the best part is if the array burns out i can get a whole replacment array, so i don't have to worry about single bulb replacing.

Neither of the pics are available. Looking at the pic properties then cutting/pasting doesn't produce a pic either.
