[DeTomaso] LED drop in replacement bulb info

[John Taphorn]

Happy Thanksgiving - And for those shopping for Christmas.

The legendary Space City LED inventory is almost gone.  If you would like a 
set, don't delay much longer.

I seriously doubt that anyone could source the LEDs for less than we are 
offering them.  The reason is many fold.  They LEDs are sourced from 
multiple vendors and your total shipping costs would exceed ours as we 
bought in bulk.  We bought lots of LEDs that were represented as superior 
and were not.  I simply do not see how an individual could get lucky enough 
to buy the best based on advertised specs.  We certainly were unable. It 
requires real world testing and the bulbs at your local Auto Parts store 
were not best of class.  Unlike other individual's LED applications, this 
set does not require modifying your lens' housings.

The kit costs $200 plus shipping.  For those that only want the retina 
compromising brake LEDs, I have an extra set.  They are $100 for the set.
