The dome light and 3rd brake light is nice, but the front brake light just my opinion, but did you run any resistors or anything for the third brake light or you just wired it in parallel? But overall pretty cool project

the only one that i didnt have to use resistors for was the dome light because of the voltage drop across the series of leds equals the recomended voltage for each led the front brake light is for when im at the track

for the third brake light i used 220ohm 1/2 watt but it will vary based on your led specs

if you dont know how to do the math go to http://www.ledcalc.com and plug in the info it will give you what you need
