I thought I'd update this thread again  Smiley

I have now redsigned the Mustang tail lights and am now starting to produce these for sale. My design keeps the stock look of the rear end and works with the original red lens, but incorporate amber indicators to meet MOT requirements.

By using high brightness amber LEDs I am able to hide the indicators behind the stock red lens. The same principles can be applied to any classic american car lights. So if anybody is interested in a set for their vehicle or rod them please get in touch.  Smiley

I think they've turned out really well and I've had some good feedback from people I've shown them too. I even have one guy who will be stocking these in his mustang parts shop  Smiley

This is just a sideline/hobby at the moment, but I'm hoping it could grow into somethine more....guess I'll have to wait and see.

Thanks, but I might have to sell quite a lot of LEDs to make a million squids  Grin

I don't wish to bore you all with more LED lights, but here is some more  Cheesy

I was asked to make some amber LED lights to fit a Lucas 488 housing. He wanted to keep the red lens to match the brake lights but have amber indicators for safety. Heres my prototype showing amber through the red lens.

Assuming the guy is happy I'll be turning these into proper PCBs in the near future.
