Stevest202,
I have taken clear 3rd brake from wolfie too. Why don't you make an "How to" for this led conversion with pics and explanation? |

I take it for granted that I have the equipment to make my own PCBs but am still really impressed when people manage to get the same effect by just hacking up other bits! |
