Re: [DML] Dash Lights

["Jim Reeve" <ultra@xxxx>]

Unfortunately, as much as I would also like LED tailights, this would 
not work for 2 reasons. Reason #1, the LED lamp wouldn't fit through 
the openings in the taillight assemblies. And reason #2, the LEDs 
shine primarily outward, and not to the side. The taillights get 
almost all of thier light from the concaved mirrors in the lenses 
reflecting the light coming out of the side of the lamp. If the LEDs 
dont shine to the side, there will be almost no reflection and people 
would have a hard time seeing the light.
