Hi Clark,
I’ve found a place that sells the bulb bases so it would be possible to do the wiring that way. One thing that is important then, is to ensure that the fittings in the existing taillight are clean and there are no pre-existing problems in the wiring harness. The best way to mount the LED array would be to use a couple of screws and attach the PCB directly to the metal taillight housing, but that would require drilling and I can see people not being too keen on that. Next-best is to use the taillight lens to wedge the PCB in place; this would require some standoffs or something to keep the PCB from resting direcly against the lens material. I’ll have to look at what’s the best way to go there. Double-sided tape would definitely work for attaching the PCB to the taillight housing… maybe that is a reasonable alternative. I have a bunch of that stuff that is made for attaching automotive trim and it has amazing tenacity.
