Ok, this is my first build thread, so bear with me. After seeing 68w/sbc406's build up of LED sidemarkers and reverse lights, I decided to build my own. I bought a lot of 100 led's off ebay for about 13 bucks give or take.... Because i dont know how to make these LED's blink yet, i decided to go simple and create a pair of reverse lights. I started by cutting a piece of translucent plastic (from a busted storage tote), I made a grid spaced 5mm apart. Then drilled out every other square. This is what it looked like when i was done.

After PM'ing 68w/sbc406, he suggested i wire the LED's up in series of four so that i wouldnt have to put a resistor on every single led. I think there are 28 or 32 led's in each reverse light so this idea came in really handy.
