As you probably know lights with bulbs can be pain in the ass when you drive in hard conditions. Sometimes you replace bulb and day later light is not working anymore. You should buy new tail lights which can be expensive.

So I decided that I will modify tail lights and replace bulbs with led stripe.  I bought 1 meter of led stripe. This stripe can be cut to pieces, which is very usefull. You have marks on it where can you cut it. You can see it on a picture below.

You also need one piece of aluminiun or plastic to glue that led stripe on. I used pcb board. You just heat it with hair dryer and then cut it in shape that you want.

Then I glued led stripe on and connected minus and plus together. And on one side you solder to wires. This wires you will connect later on bulb socket.

Light is very bright, so I’m satisfied.
