This is aimed at someone with LED rear lights or someone with electronics know-how :)

Basically does someone know what wattage the rear lights have to be to make them legal in the UK?
(I know its affected by the lens, but whatever you're using in your LED clusters will be fine i'm sure)

I'm after the wattage for the side lights, indicators, reverse, and brake.

Also, how are the side and brake wired up? Because in a bulb setup they're obviously one bulb for both.
So I assume there is currently 2 circuits running to each side/brake bulb?

One final question, do LEDs require less power to operate, as in, will they 'pop' if i just swap out a bulb for a bank of LEDs? Or will i need to put in a resistor or something?

I'm planning on doing an OEM cluster LED conversion :)

Thanks!
