Individual Red 1156 FC Third Brake Light (need only one) $5.34 shipped

So far all of those bulbs add up to $43 something. Also, instead of some of the more typical 1157 LED replacements, I opted to go with the 5 arm spider asterisk looking things for the rear tail/brake and the turn signals.

I installed the red LED spiders earlier today and they just barely squeeze into the tails. They do look pretty good though, maybe not as good as the LED rings, but it is a lot less work.
They do have some noticeable brightness differences, but I plan to smooth that out with some weak resistors.
I'll try and get some better pictures of them, hopefully after I get them balanced in brightness.

I'd need to see the lights in the day to judge whether any if the exterior lighting is worth it. Did you make sure the LEDs are rated for greater than or equal to the stick bulbs at the voltage you will be running?
I've looked at elef before for S4 tails. Robxx7 has a thread on putting them in his s5. They are bright.
