Ah you're right. I did misread it.

So the tail light, which I have done also, you need to get a LED bulb 7507. look on ebay for 7507 LED.

You have to do the resistors similar to what I did but with a little trick. Very simple to do.

Yes, quite possible. Just make sure they are 7507 model or (BA15). And get SMD, its better than the normal LED's.

Your best bet is to get from Ebay. That is where I got them.

Contact brabusw209amg for the bulbs. Check the link to my thread that nigxdoof posted. The first link. I have a pdf sketch in there showing how to install the resistors.
