NC 'custom' LED lights retrofitted?

[Ross Corrigan]

thanks guys, I added it to our discussion:-) the brake light LED source was 
a new addition for us:)  Did you literally mean to retrofit the LED's into 
the bulb socket? Some of the members attraction to this is they can make it 
'socketless' and hence no corrosion but 'retrofit' bulbs is a neat 
enterprising idea.
