Luxeon K2 Stars for Nav Lights, will this work?

I am planning to roll my own Nav lights and right now this is what I have planed.

6 ea of the Luxeon K2 stars connected in two parrallel rows of 3 ea in series. I plan on driving them with a BuckPuck 1000mA DC driver and in this configuration they should be driven at 500mA each.

I will plan on using the Pro Series 606 package from Strobes N' More for the strobes.

Now what do I do for the tail light. I really want all LED's so how does one role their own combo back there?

If you figure out a way to do a cheap tail light/strobe LED combo, and want to do another, I'll pay ya for it! I'm planning on using Thor's tail light/strobe LED, and it's $195!!

Yes but how do you cram them all together in a combo for the rudder?

Is there enough room in any of the plane strobe lights to fit enough led's to be legal?

Thats my last resort... Some people say that the Thor strobes are not very bright. This has me concerned. The price is steep as well but looks like they are the only option at this time.

Any others out there in the reasonable price range?
