1991-99 Mitsubishi 3000GT Taillight LED Design (abandoned)

I did some research and I was able to get my hands on SnapLEDs however designing and getting zinc platted copper is too costly at this time for this project. I also don’t own a clinching machine.

After getting some SnapLEDs I figured I could just solder them onto a PCB instead of clinching them. Since the 3000gt does not have very three dimensional taillight housings, a flat PCB with LEDs mounted on it should work.
I also did some testing to see what kind of circuits I will need to drive the LEDs. The best setup seems to be three LEDs in series. This gave me an idea as to how I would have to design the PCB. The following is my final PCB design which allows the use of either 30 or 60 SnapLEDs. As you can see 30 and 60 are both divisible by three.
