You probably don't want a bread board. A Perf/Proto board would be a better option IMO.

 

why is that?

 

When buying LEDs for this mod which is a more important factor, mcds or vewing angle? IIRC the veiwing angle on LED stock cadillac tails are not that great, but I wonder what the mcd is for them?

 

With bread boards, you just plug the components into the holes, and they stay in via a compression fit. This is not a very secure way of holding the components. This could lead to a problem with the vibrations a car would cause. Plus, a decent bread board is like $20.

With perf/proto boards, you can either solder, or wire wrap the components into the holes in the of the boards. Both methods tend to secure the components better. Also, perf/proto boards cost less than bread boards.

Ususally, you will wire the perf/proto boards on the back side of the board (with the components on the front side) which makes for a cleaner looking board. The bread board gets everything (components and wiring) on the same side. It just looks a lot messier/more cluttered.
