Not much room for a bulb socket. Thinking perhaps a LED for space considerations....

Humbug!

It will require (6) lights to illuminate the entire surround, one in each section.

LED's?????

i'd put some red ones in there too; you can switch them on if you're behind someone going too slow (as a means to show your disgruntlement)

Seeing a lot of new cars using leds now. Kind of a modernization thing incorporating them on our old diesels. Daytime running lights are getting to be the law here.

This is a way to have them with low battery drain. Glad you thought about it.. Should be easily done although I might have to heat sink more powerful leds for daylight running lighting.

People are going to notice that change in spades.

Each surround will require (6) LED's in order to illuminate it evenly. The trick now is to find the individual LED's that can be mounted without a bunch of circuit boards....
