Found this and just want to share
In this case I'm using true phillips superflux lumileds as my LED's. They're nice because the package allows you to get nice, easy, consistent mounting and heat isn't an issue with these guys (unlike with the higher power LED's, 300 mah and up). These LED's are commonly used in automotive applications. I will be running the following configuration:
Turn signals: 40 LED's per side
Brake Lights: 32 LED's per side
Running Lights: 16 LED's per side running at very low current
I have only gotten the turn signals in so far. I didn't have the right resistors on hand so everything got put back together with only the turn signals in.
Build Arrays:
Here is the brake and running light array
The back side, note that all the solder helps act as a heat sink for the LEDs
