That's an *excellent* solution.  I just like "rolling my own".  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.

I decided to add those on a whim.  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.
