Here to torment people again.
New revision. All one pcb per circle section. One vreg sits on the back of each. One pcb will generate running power, One braking power, then turn signal generates turn power. I then jump the power to the traces depending on it's purpose.
I then will use a break out cable to send the specific power to the other board/circle.
So one board powers it's running halo and jumps to the other pcb to power it's halo. Then the other pocb's vreg powers the brakes for both pcb's. Turn signal just powers itself.
Prototyping cost is about 8x what the hand made pcb's were but this gives me the clean and professional product with the ability to do 2 layer pcb's.

I was thinking of having an outer ring on the whole bottom in red for running, center of that be brakes. Then have clear plexi up top and then some hashes amber led's for turns. That project's been sitting on a corner of my house for over a year lol.
I might get back to it after I work on these and some 180sx tails for my friend.

A billion years later I finally have a finished item that I think is good.
Full plug n play with no cutting or permanent damage. Just have to open the housings to put the boards in. Ended up having a local CNC shop cut me out some back plates in delrin so I don't have to drill or cut the housings. It uses Nylon screws so there is no conductivity issues
