Not yet - They're a tad more "interesting" to wire up. I've been at them all afternoon and still not finished one rear 100% - But I'm adding a sort of built in brake operated hazard flasher as well.
Maybe tomorrow - but we have guests over. Monday 100%.

The LEDs are ebay bought - EPISTAR 12V-10W 3x3 LED arrays. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/1185-...0001&campid=5335943355&icep_item=281423653903
Approx 400lumens.

Backplates 2mm thick laser cut 55.5mm O/D discs.
The LEDs are mechanically affixed from the rear - and NEED heatsink paste (any PC store).

Still not decided HOW I'll actuate the RED ones. I need to be able to disable fast.
They flash using http://www.smidsy.biz/autohazardflasher.php deliberately mounted incorrectly just behind the numberplate bracket.

Interesting how the offset LEDs produce an oval pattern. I've been asked about putting two amber leads on each plate.

I might try, but it'll be a while. But here's a mockup.

It's a mix of Spanish, German and English. And I'm blow'd if I can get it to present any other way.
