I want to try and use LEDs in the stock tail light housing so I will use an old rusty bucket to experiment with. The reflector and socket have been removed and the LEDs have been laid out on a piece of paper. With reflector out the threaded holes used to mount the tail light can also be used to attach the plexi that will hold the LEDs by using longer mounting bolts. The corresponding nuts have been laid out on the paper as well to ensure there is no interference with the LEDs. Also, I am going to retain the central round area as the stop/tail light as original but use the rectangular areas on the sides as turn signals. This will allow me to ditch the large stock rear turn signals that I just made the brackets for. Two downward facing white LEDs will be used to illuminate the licence plate.
