" LED taillights are truly great.  Shortly after GM started putting them
" in the back of some Cadillacs, some hobbyists came out with a retrofit
" kit to install similar lights in my truck; I bought one of the first
" kits, since I was sick of the bulbs which were dim at best and
" probably downright dangerous.  Considering that the taillights are
" perfectly rectangular (1970 GMC) it probably didn't take a whole lot
" of work to plot out a rectangular PCB with 168 LEDs and three wires to
" a standard 1157 bulb socket.  The result is amazing.

for a comparison - i didn't count them, but in each standard round
flush-mount taillignt the fedex truck had less than 20 leds, maybe a
dozen.
