It's translated into substrate from the site but all it really is modders PC board. You can get it in various sizes from Radio Shack.. Something in the order of this

Just search the site for "pc board"

thanks a lot! Moncha!
i was wondering what is the proper name for "substrate"//

I'd call that breadboard. do be careful with spraying the board silver. Silver paint has powdered aluminum in it, and its conductive.

Give me a day or two to bring over my links from the old computer. I have done similar mods to motorcycle taillights, and had started on the WRX's lights before I sold it.
I have a ton of info on this mod.

Easy trick:
Use a hot glue gun to seal the surface of your board (on the LED side) so that you can paint it with the silver paint without worrying about shorting anything out. Also, you can just use white paint -almost as reflective and a lot neater.

EDIT:
Here's one example, I think his pics are gone, but decent tutorial:

also, you can join nasioc (www.nasioc.com) -it's a Subaru group but there's some good info on "LED +conversion +taillight" in the search. I can't remember the guy's name, but he did an awesome writeup of a full LED conversion on his Impreza. It's archived and shouldn't be too tough to find.
