I appreciate the advice.

I actually already have 2 of these "drop in" bayonet replacements and
while
they are okay for the "casual user" (lol) I'm quite picky and don't want
to look like the rest of the import kiddies with the funky looking LED
tail lamps only lighting up in small spots.

I'm willing to spend $$$ for this project so I can get a correct look and
it seems a flat panel filling the entire area behind the lense will work
wonderfully. Aside from someone's time, I wouldn' think it would be all
that expensive... You can buy generic blank PCBs and a box of LEDs and
solder away. I just suck at soldering. LOL

"You can buy off the shelf replacements for the 1157's"

Sorry,
just noticed you already knew this. Dooh!
I didn't read the whole post and jumped to the wrong conclusion.




With best regards, 3T39. E-mail:



Personally, i would try diffusing the existing replacements by roughening
the surface and placing a thin layer of milky plastic in front of the
LED's. A PCB full of LED's would look like a bunch of dots too.
