ohh i put a 9 inch strip in mine. it was the perfect size and only 10 dollars. and if you get one the red strip is so much brighter than a white one shining thru the red lens. i think it looks much better than the original bulb look.

i found it at... http://www.keyrazyleds.com/index.php. and heres how to do it... http://therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52986
its very easy to do. just cut out the shape of the led in the brake light. cut the wires from the connector to the bulb. splice the new ones on from the led. and seal it so the led doesnt move.
