Big Plans, No Clue

I simply plan to use a piece of lexan(If I make another, it will definitely be acrylic for ease of cutting) cut to the same shape as the emblem. LEDs would be implanted in channel carved into the plastic. Emblem mounts on top of the clear panel and LEDs are sandwiched in there somewhere.
I'd have to use surface mount LEDs to properly fit them. That, in itself is fun to do...
I believe I'd use a 5v voltage regulator driven from the taillight output. When the lights are on, the circuit receives power. To turn the LEDs red, I'd use a threshold to declare when the brakes have been activated(the brake lights get brighter). The LEDs go red. I guess I should spend some time cutting out this emblem...
