i'm not fond of the LED fogs at the moment, i'm going to try and make them two parallel lines instead of the honeycomb design whenever I have time to fix it.

Nice Photos, what rims are you using on your echo? 16" or 17"

60mA per series. Not concerned with output as these are angled to the ground for foreground lighting, theres no real significance for these LED's except for a little rice effect, so layout > output performance

^ I think he said "per series" -- that's more than one LED, or maybe I have the terminology incorrect.

Current is equal within one series circuit. Voltage drops on each LED. For my setup it's 3 LED's per circuit, so 60mA flows through all three LED's. Each LED gets 60mA and drop some voltage. A resistor drops the rest to maintain the current value (i believe i used 18ohms, cant remember) since the power source is a regulated 12V LM7812. These LED's are multichip, china overrates them at 100mA, so I run them at 60mA.

quick sketch of the setup should be easier to understand :)

I agree. But everything else is fantastic! I really wish I could have found one of these for sale before I bought my Yaris. There's just something about that body style...

how did you calculate that? Assuming resistor is 18 ohms (most likely higher),
P = I^2 * R
P = 0.06A * 0.06A * 18 = 0.0648 W = 64.8mW
64.8mW is burned through the resistor itself.

Don't worry about checking my work, i'm not studying electrical engineering for nothing. Everything electrical i've got no problems with, it's when it comes to the mechanical stuff I'm no good with
