my house mate and i have made our own LED tail lights for EF/EL's.

do your lights have a low and high brighness? if they don't get actually brighter than the cops can defect you for it. they need to dim and brighten between tail lights and brake lights.

here is link to our lights, they aren't the best pics cause it was our prototype.
