Here are some samples. These are pretty much how they will be. I need to order some more LEDs to complete this trial set. I only had enough to do 1 side of the car. The 914 taillights are on the very left and for comparison I turned on the brake lights on my Integra. the 914 taillights are at the very front of the Integra.

Andyrew- Yes these will be a kit hopefully sooner then later. I ordered a set of 4 test production PCBs to test the circuit and to see how it fits in the car. For now there will only be a US taillight version. Soon after I get orders for the US version and see that people like them I'll start making Euro versions. That should be a pretty easy change. Then after I pay for school and cover my other costs I'll start on making an upgrade for the front blinkers. Then I'll think about doing a lite race version.

dakotaewing- Thanks! I'll try that out. I'll post some pictures that my roommate (good with cameras) helped me take. TonyAKAVW- these are SuperFlux LEDs Brando- My LEDs are at 10,000mcd and the ones that superbrightLEDs are a 2500mcd now I don't know if they are comparing apples to apples. But I know for sure that mine can run at a max forward current of 70mA and theirs run at a max of 40mA the viewing angle looks the same. Mine are bright and will hurt your eyes. I don't run them at full current for that reason and for some flexability in voltage changes. The flasher unit depends on current draw to do the switching. Your LEDs probably won't draw enough current to make the flasher work properly. It my kit needs the flasher you can get a solid state flasher to fix that problem. Attached image(s) |
