OT: 914 Front Turnsignal Bucket for 356 Rear Turnsignals, Custom LED time Options

[Spoke]

Apparently 356 guys use the front turnsignal bucket from the 914 for rear turnsignals and brakes. They actually look really nice.

A fellow asked if I could design some LEDs for the application. The LEDs will be red and will serve as the running lights, brake lights, and turnsignals.

The picture below is not his car. He originally wanted to do red running/brake LEDs under the red portion and amber LEDs under the amber portion.

After some discussion, we decided to do all red LEDs for running/brake/turnsignals. So the entire lens will be red or clear.

Since the boards are at a unique angle left to right, a one-sided board cannot be used on both sides. So this board will be reversible. The LEDs can be mounted on either side of the board as well as all the components. This was a very busy board with all the extra components on both sides.

To be able to blink the turnsignals when the brakes are on, I'm using the same blanking circuit that I use on the 914 euro front turnsignals.

The LEDs look a bit more uniform when bent into position. The board and LEDs fit nicely in the fixture.

The 356 owner will cut off the bottom of the OEM fixture to fit in the fender. The small front clip will stay and he will screw the long rear clip to the cut down fixture.
