Ok, one strip per lens row...that sounds better.

http://www.superbrightleds.com Prices have been pretty decent, and they have good quality stuff. I know there are some cheaper shittier brands out there, but I try to avoid them for that reason. Yeah, I have to stay away from the high wattage ones, they will melt stuff, especially in a light like these. But these newer strip lights should be good and bright, vs the ones I had been using which averaged 100 bucks for a 300 LED roll. These newer ones are 150 for the same count, probably 3 times the light the others are. I won't use them in side markers, way too bright for that, but anything else is game.

Granted they need a very large heat sink and fan to keep cool... LMAO.
Ace where are you getting your LED's from as well? I feel that they can be had for much cheaper which should drop the price some.
I am using 24 LED bulbs now, and the throw is good with those, so these would be a bit better me thinks. Considering the number of LEDs would be decent, especially if we did a two strip pattern for reverse.heavywoody wrote:Ideally I'd like to have LED's in the reverse lights as well, but that depends on the throw of the light so I can actually see backing up. If the light throw is terrible, no sense, ya know?
So you are using an LED bulb in the backup lamps now... and this is why I ask.DTMAce wrote:I am using 24 LED bulbs now, and the throw is good with those, so these would be a bit better me thinks.

That's an excellent question.3X00-Modified wrote:Since the tails are colored why are you spending the extra money for colored LED's as well? Isn't that somewhat overkill? Just a thought.
