I have the ones from Campervan Culture and they are amazing!
Out of stock at the moment but worth waiting for new stock.

Maybe when Jed reopens he will have new stock.

I will have a set of them when they are available. I have been looking at making some but at that price it's not worth messing. :ok

The 'open' type without a lens are too directional.
I used some blue ones for mine (lens type) and it looks great.
NOTE* LED's only work one way ****

I second the Campervan Culture upgrade. They work a treat. Reverse light upgrade from them is also great.
