Hello everyone, have a question and have searched to no avail.

I would like to create a custom taillight out of LED's (inside the stock housing) for a motorcycle. it would only need two functions, brake and parking. I have the wiring undercontrol, but its the actual creation that i have a question about...

I am picturing using a breadboard and a series of leds, but the part I am lost on, is how to connect the leds? is there a easy way to make a "circuit" on the back of the board, or do I really have to sit there and solder wires to each and every led bulb???

Thanks in advance!

You can get a custom pcb made for about 30.00 delivered (single sided). I have done a couple hundred designs with these guys over the years. I use Altium for layout software but they have a free layout program you can download. This is the way to go if you want a really professional looking part. Plus if any of your friends want one you can just reorder the same design. Feel free to ask for help if you decide to go this route.
