Default project led taillights

ok well i decided to try something with my old taillights. i bought 350 10mm 120,000mcd LEDs, and 50 70,000mcd 10,000kelvin LEDs, and 48"x24"x1/8"of ABS plastic, and 400 480ohms resistors to handle 12v.
total cost $48
i gotta wait for the rest of my lights and resistors to come in. plus my final exams are next week so it may be the end of december before they are done.
ill post some pics to show my progress, but this is my first time trying anything with LEDs so go easy on me. lol
