Well, here is part of one of my LED tail lights I got done today. Got the circuit boards etched and tined, then added the resistors, then the LEDs and finally, the jumpers to connect all the positives together (Negatives are connected by the copper traces).
This rounded piece is actually for the side of the tail light (where the reflector was) but i placed it where the rear facing portion is to give you an idea of how bright it is (right) compared to the stock bulb (left).
I might even have to tone these down a bit, they're really bright!
I don't know How long it will take me to finish the rest of the right LED panel but that one board took literally all day to etch, tin, solder, and test.
Let me know what you think! 8)

I finished the other panel for the right tail light.
Here is a short video of both lights connected to a flasher module.
