The center brake light on the sedan only has one bulb in it at the center of the fixture. I am wondering if we can change that to a line of bulbs, see 5 or 7 LEDs. Any thought? Suggestions?

some ppl on mazda3forums.com reported that some LEDs would burn out in a few months or so......The price is good though.
54 LEDs seem to be an overkill, I'd be happy to have one row. icspots, do you kave one of those from ebay?

Nope, mine are still stock. If I ever decide to play with getting good at soldering again then I'd probably just make my own. If not then I'd probably go with the one that malebastard (from mazda3forums) makes. I believe his is for the hatchback only though.

Yes. The same one
s the ZenonStore.com offers. I bought one from him on eBay and have had no problems... except the need for the resister. 'Course, I'm running all LED running lights and the turn signals were interfering.

They make 'em for the sedan too. They can be used w/a clear lens too, if you can find one. The LEDs are clear but light up red.
