ebay is the best source to be honest. expect 15 to 25 with the shipping, get one with more leds and angled leds so that you can get full illumination of the tail lamp. the 1's with like 12 or so leds wont be bright enough and you'll risk a ticket

www.autolumination.com Beware... some have had issues with putting LEDs in tail lights. My radio and A/C display would go crazy when I hit the brake, and with my lights off my turn signal would cause both tail lights to flash. I finally ended up removing the LEDs in my tails and putting the normal bulbs back in. Other than that, I've got LED's everywhere else (except trunk).

So i have to buy l.e.d.'s and wire them into my stock tailight housing. Hmm... i could get a bit creative with that.
If I do that, what do you guys recommend for using the wiring from the single bulb to wire in led's and how should I protect them from the elements?
I have worked with led's before but on curcuit boards and stuff. Never cars
Thanks
Ryan

No rewiring required. Click on the autolumination link above and choose your bulb size. They come ready to install.

how hard would it be to wire in individual led's and make your own tailight?
