    I think I may have stumbled across a inexpensive LED tail light conversion. I've ordered some of the pieces to try this out. This will be an actual LED strip (not replacement bulbs), lights, wires all DTO legal. This may fit nicely into our Maverick lamp housing. If all this works I may put together a little DIY kit. Would anyone be interested???

    Someone was making them for Pintos, and it was a complete insert, not just a bulb, but I've only seen them once on Ebay. I'd like some for my car.

    remember you'll need a electronic flasher if it doen't have some kind of resistor built in. unless you like your blinkers flashing real fast.

    I've been playing with LED lights on my Comet for awhile now. The pics used to be on here, I'll have to look for them.
