LED's would look pretty cool if it were just a single strip of LEDs, that went from red to white, for the reverse lights. But even then, I'd only do it with a full aftermarket kit, which removed the "DODGE" emblem on the back.
LEDs would be nice as long as there was heavy diffusing and it looked like a glowing panel instead of a computer chip covered in little lights like lots of kits do.
That's kind of the look I was trying to explain, thanks mate! Good analogy. To be honest, though, you would probably have to go flaurescent to get that route, and I don't even know if that's viable.
Wow, you guys really jumped the gun on the poor guy. He is looking for a retrofit of some sort.
Kind of like this for a 1970 Challenger Taillight.
This is what I would like to do on mine when I finally get one. Something of this nature... keep the look but that the safety and longevity of the LED's.
Thanks everyone for the topic ideas. I'm willing to replace the whole rear taillight assembly for a LED system that is done right. The diffused method is what I'm looking for, as mentioned above. Since I have spent 45K on the car, I'm willing to spend some more for a nice LED taillight system.
