One more thing about LEDS:

Buy 10 LEDS from different manufacturers and they have all different color, brightness and opening angle. This is a very frustrating thing to experience!!!

Conclusion is to buy from same manufacturer/batch. There are two approches: get a generic premade strip, cluster, or matrix LED which are all the same thing and can easily be found on the web. Or throw away ur money at Ford. My preference is the SuperFlux LEDs from Lumileds.

Here is a really cool example taken from a Mitshubishi:
