Hard work finding led rears......that I like
These are 150mm x 80mm with a reflector, should be able too get them flush ?
Anyone else found any ?
I would fit these but they don't rock my boat that much.
Chris M, where did you get yours from ?

How about the circular ones from SVC?
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Just thinking out loud, how about buying those rectangular ones, taking the LED array out and mounting inside a regular rear light of your choice ? It
should still conform to SVA since total light output would remain the same ?

Chris,
Nice lights, please elaborate.

From what I gathered on earlier posts on here, you can make pretty much any light and as long as the SVA inspector is happy with it it'll pass.
So maybe you could knock up something like the strip lights or your own design on that basis?
I'm planning to make a recessed lamp cluster by cutting a hole in my rear aly sheet, joggling the edge and mounting an acrylic sheet in it, then
mounting red/amber reflectors to the back of that sheet drilled to take the LEDs. If you were clever and heat bent the acrylic you could mount them
on the rear corners too, might be too experimental for me though.
Of course by the time i've finished the rest of the car the chances of me being bothered with all that are pretty slim... just ignore me. 
Really like those strip lights by the way. Not locost but worth every penny.
Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. Some assembly required. Batteries not included. Contents may settle during
shipment. Use only as directed. No other warranty expressed or implied. Do not use while operating a motor vehicle or heavy equipment. Subject to
approval, terms and conditions apply. Apply only to affected area. For recreational use only. All models over 18 years of age. No user-serviceable
parts inside. Subject to change. As seen on TV. One size fits all. May contain nuts. Slippery when wet. For office use only. Edited for television.
Keep cool; process promptly.

Paul they are from the states, they are pretty expensive, especially if you get stung for import taxes, mine cost almost £300 as i got stung by HM
Customs. they come in 1 foot length and you can chop and use any length of that down to approx 15mm hence mine were 2x6", 2x8" and
2x4".
i was prepared to pay the money because there was no other lights i wanted, for most people though £300 could be seen as excessive for a set of rear
lights that may not pass sva.
the ones i used were the 1 foot flexible array's, there about 2/3rds of the way down the page, they cost around 92$ per foot, i used 3 foot.
edited to add; at todays current exchange rates, and the chance of slipping customs charges you could get them for around £150
lights here

Hi Chris,
As said already, not locost but worth every penny, they look amazing. You've inspired me now to try and come up with a locost solution.
