I hadn't thought to look in junkyards, since LED brakelights are relatively new and late-model cars don't tend to turn up in large numbers in junkyards here. > You mentioned turn signals.

They're probably not necessary, but given how low the Vanagon's turn signals are I figured it couldn't hurt to have a set up high while I was at it. _ _ __ _ _ _| | | | David M.
