    Default White LEDs N 3rd brake light for backups full width/red 2

    so a guy posted this idea awhile ago on www.hidplanet.com/forums/led to do this to his wife's tC. well, he was a noobie to modding and since i already done mine once w/ red led's, i decided to try it. HOWEVER, i used quality superflux led's and those are bigger than the stubby wide anle 5mm's i shoulda used.

    so basicly, its a row of red lumiled superfluxes for the brakes, they are lined up behind the most diffused part of the lense, the white crazy bright superflux's are line up behind the clearer part of the 3rd brake lense. what? yeah, i did them backwards now that i have them lit. so thats one strike against myself. the second is the led's are like 8000K and i didnt notice till i was able to stand back and compare to my stock reverse lights. so thats the second strike against em.

    w/ them being superflux, there wasnt alot of room for the lense to fit, but i made them work. im still not happy w/ them. i was unhappy w/ the spacing of my first set i made as they led's lined up different as the 3rd brake is diffused weird.. so some led's were dim but were not, it was just due to the lense's spacing. so that looked like anus so when dude had this idea, it gave me more will power to change it..

    so yeah, i know there's gonna be haters. and i feel ya.. there will be a version 3.0 next time i get bored. so hate away!
