First off, wolfie's products are amazing.
Secondly, i have been looking for a lighting option for his rear 3rd brake light. As we know, Culpable came up with an LED strip as a solution: here Looks good, but i didn't want to mix a LED strip with my non-LED'd rear lights (no, i'm not going to cut open JDM tails to put LEDs in those too). Even though my solution IS an LED, its not a strip of them and it reflects everywhere. Plug and play, no modification needed. Purchased from www.v-leds.com / here is the actual bulb This bulb has 10 radial firing and 3 forward firing LEDs:     Now, i've made quite a deal about 1 LED.

I'm sure stevest202's right about the distance of the strip from the lens being key to the effect.
Top marks again for a unique look - didn't you say you used an LED strip you cut down from an Irmscher Tigra? -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V? Mine was used in the opening sequences here - note the clear turns and front LED's
