The Model 356 taillight  doesn't use just any LEDs.  Many LEDs on the market that produce as little as 2,000 millicandela (mcd) of light are marketed as "high intensity."  Each individual red LED used on the Model 356 taillight puts out a specified 10,000 mcd of light!
 

The Model 356 Taillight uses separate voltage regulators to insure that each LED illuminates at its maximum intensity regardless of automobile system voltage variations.
 

Both the left and right taillight units employ 12 LEDs for the taillight, and 24 more LEDs for the brake light.  That's three dozen LEDs on each side of your 356 for a full 72 High intensity LEDs spread over a pair of taillights!
 

LED current is optimized to achieve the maximum rated light output while insuring the maximum longevity of each LED by preventing over-voltage and over-current conditions from damaging or shortening the life of the LEDs..
 

Our circuitry is protected against electrical transients from the alternator, ignition pulses, jump starts, battery disconnects and more...
