I am planning on doing a set of full LED tail retros on my Max and a friends Integra.

What is the recommend LED MCD here? Im looking at doing red for the break and running, amber for the turns, and white for the reverse. I have done quite a bit of searching but am not exactly sure which ones to get.

Also, best resistor choice? 1/2w, 1w? I want these to last a long time.

I have done a lot of LED wiring in the past, but nothing to this extent.

Any help would be awesome.
Thanks guys

Generally Superflux LEDs are a very popular choice.. For something this complex, resistors are a very poor choice. Best to get a voltage regulator for the turn signals and reverse lights, and a PWM controller for the tails (will allow dual-brightness functionality)

let me know if u figure out the turn signals and reverse im first in line 2 buy the turns

Awesome, thanks man.
As I said, I have done many LED wirings before. Just nothing this large and complex. I really appreciate your input. I will definately look into those things.

write up would be nice. always wanted some since i seen some nice ones on a few members ex:flava,wizard

use at least .5 watt resistors...

Im planning on it
I just bought the PWMs and Voltage Regulators. We will see what happens....obviously ill test first though

Also, make sure you get the red/orange Superflux for the brakes, not plain red. Red/orange is closer to the stock tails "red" - the pure red is kinda pink looking.
