And while I'm at it, might as well get a start on those plate lights. I know you guys use festoon bulbs. Which model? And would you all prefer 2 SMD? 3 SMD?

I'd hate to start the group buy, place my order, just to have everyone who ordered 1156 to have some unforseen issue. 7507 is all good though and I have good confidence in them.

SAAWEEETT!! so you have the 7507 good to go already? and now youll have the 1156 on the make? AWESOME! cant wait! ill be the frist to buy!

Don't want to say anything negative about another board sponsor, so just going to talk about my product.

Lighting output will be very good with just LED replacement and costs should be reasonable as well as it's just the bulb you'll be swapping out.

ok, working with my engineer on the 6418 LEDs for your plates and I'll probably be offering 2, 3, and 4 emitter LEDs to give you options. They'll ship me a test set in my next batch and I'll need to find a 203 local for me to test em out, then we're good to go.

I'd rather work with someone local so I can troubleshoot any potential issues that might come up, but if I can't find anyone, I'll take you up on that offer.

From what I gathered, 4 diode LEDs would be too bright for most and only a select few would have any interests in them. I might carry a limited run of them, but majority will be 2-3 diodes.
