heh well i I highly recommend you use a quality led like philips superflux red-orange color (closest to oem). that way you won't ever have to worry about them burning out and stuff. The pc board I got from Besthongkong because the third brake light are unusually wide, about 1 foot, radioshack didnt have them. and how many leds? i dont remember lol. i did as much as i can fit.

thanx for the info.
wat i like about the leds that i get off ebay, is that they come with resistors and are prewired. however they r really light nd can barely c them in daylight but @ night they shine.
