RE: LED's

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

I have a few thoughts regarding this thread. 
	First, I believe the A6 uses an LED rear Third Brake Light.  Has
like 8 Leds or so in there.   I know when I follow my Dad in his A6 I can
visibly notice that the 3rd light comes on much sooner than the others.
Great safety feature IMO.  I wonder if this could be retrofitted to an
older Audi.  My 4kq does not have a 3rd brake light but I would like to
put one on my early 85' for saftey reasons.  I was going to just do a 4kq
rear light but thought about doing an LED setup.  Do they require any sort
of Voltage regulator to step down or up the power or is just a (Hook up
+/- 12v and go) thing.
	Second, if you are worried about the rears icing up just put a
defroster element in there.  YES, that would defeat the idea of not using
much power but you would still have the Bright/fast reacing LED's and when
defroster was not need like 90% of the time, you wouldn't need to worry
about the power thing.  L8R
