LED Front Turnsignal And Rear Brake/Taillight/Turnsignals Options

[Spoke]

This is a group buy for front turnsignal bucket LED boards, rear tail/brake light LED boards, and rear turnsignal LED boards.

Please respond to this thread if you are interested. Purchase requests will be handled in order as they are recieved in this thread.

The only thing group buy of these boards are the bare PCBs. The boards are hand assembled one by one, tested and delivered as they are finished. I will not request payment until your PCBs are to be assembled. Time between payment and shipping should be about 2 weeks. This group buy will last several months so please be patient.

I will PM you when I am prepared to assemble your boards. If I PM you and your plans have changed, please let me know.

Front LED and rear LED boards will be shipped separately. Shipping for CONUS for front or rear LED boards is $10.

Looks good Cary. Are you using the stock 914 flasher or EP36 or other?

A couple of notes:

1) Great video. So glad to see the LEDs working with your flasher. Keep in mind that the LEDs are pointed directly towards the front and rear of the vehicle to maximizes the intensity of the LEDs towards the other vehicles on the road.

2) The early stock 914 flasher (with L & R dash indicators) seems to work fine if the dash indicators are rewired so the common wire normally from the K lug on the flasher are connected to ground. This little bit of resistive load seems to cause the flasher to flash normally with LEDs front and rear. My 914 is wired this way and the flasher will flash normally even with both front and rear lights removed. Another 914World member with LEDs front and rear got his early flasher to work only after rewiring the dash indicators.

3) I'm adding a 1k ohm resistor across the turnsignal wires on the front and rear boards to add at least a little bit of resistive signature to help flashers see the LED loads. Not sure how much this helps but it's easy to do.

4) Some folks had observed the tight intensity profile of the LEDs. We had been using 15 degree LEDs. For the amber turnsignals, we're now using 30 degree LEDs. The head-on intensity is less but the light pattern is wider. The red LEDs are only available in quantity in the 15 degree packages so we'll continue with the 15 degree red LEDs.
