RE: [T3] Clear Lens Source?

["Carver" <carver@ncwebsurfer.com>]

I deleted the original message, but I was
think about LEDs last night. Something
to test first is the refraction properties
of the lens and how that will affect the
light output.

The original lenses were designed for an 
essentially single point source of light.
All of the facets of the lens are there
to direct the light in the right location
for visibility by the vehicle behind.

A distributed source of light via LEDs
may get diffused by the facets and not
provide the brightness desired.

This is something that must be tested,
not analyzed, for I don't think any of
us has the background, knowledge, nor
tools to determine this type of effect.

Do one side only, install it and compare 
both the standard and LED rear light on 
the same vehicle in the same conditions 
at the same time. Please post photos.
