Hi all. A while back, I built LED front turn signals. Now I'm going to step it up a notch and build LED tail lights.
I'm still deciding the final design but I have a general finished product in mind. I will be using arduino micro controller for the brains and wiring it into the existing switches. It will actually control all of the exterior indicator lights.
One thing I'm having a hell of a hard time finding is giant sheets of red tail light pillow-lens. All I can find are small pieces in the tail light repair kits. That's not good enough. I know I can rig some using clear pillow lens and red tint stuff, but I'd rather have big pieces of red reflector type plastic. Any ideas?
