LED Tails question

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7564

I found those and I want to jam it inside the tails to light them up. They look like they're 5 groups of 24 leds wired in series which and each group is wired parallel. Does anyone know if its possible to cut these shorter so we can use it in our tails?

Actually CC08 is right.

Do you mean for your tail lights and third brake tail light too?

Idk if those are the ones that you can cut after every 3rd bulb.. or if those are from Oznium.. but yea i think it'd be easy to do that.. shouldn't be hard.

You probably can cut those, but why would you order such a huge length only to cut it up? Once you cut those things, you can't reuse the leftover piece, at least not without a lot of work rewiring it. I recommend a shorter length, and cut it to size, less wasteful. That's what I did for mine, and it worked out well. You need at least a foot to make it around the reverse light once. If you wanna upgrade the outer lights to LED, it's much easier to just buy premade LED tails.

Just buy them oznium.com. They come in 12" 19" 24". Some here did it with the 19" Lenght and cut like 3 LEDs off
