Here's some daylight vids.
This one is the Cree LED vs 1157 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca_TNjqifBw This one has the Cree LEDs and the 5mm LED board. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HQjAIiWPz0 |

Spoke, those look good man! Both Cree and 5mm show pretty good.
I would like to purchase the 5mm LED Lights. PM sent. |

Just toying around with a different LED pattern. Instead of a grid of 5 x 4 LEDs, what about a box pattern. More like connected lines outlining the brake light.

I mixed the box and fill when I was playing with the smart LEDs; at distance it's hard to make the box out - would have worked better with clear tails and double-wide.

I'm in for a pair of 5mm when they're available.

Finally got the costs figured out for the 5mm board.
$90 + shipping. This will include: 2 PCBs with 64 LEDs each. Pigtail with 1157 base to plug directly into existing bulb socket. 6 clips to mount the boards to existing light housing. New PCB is larger than the prototype as the LED grid grows by 1 to 64 LEDs in an 8x8 pattern instead of the 7x9 with the LEDs spread out a bit more to provide a larger lighting footprint. ![]() Prototype 5mm PCB shown with pigtail, bulb socket and 6 clips. ![]() |

I agree, that might look good if it were not too hard, but probably easier to accomplish with the 5mm board than the Cree board because of the fewer numbers of emmitters. |

Thanks all for the interest in the brake lights.
Here's how we will do this. I'll wait about a week to see how many sets are needed. Then I'll order PCBs (will take about 2 weeks to fab) and order parts. At that point I will ask for payment through paypal. The sets will be built one PCB at a time at my US-based production facility in my basement (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Once built and tested they will be shipped. The clips at this time are hand made from brass sheet and hold the board quite firmly. I hope to get these made out of plastic but that effort is still on-going. |

I will take a set of the 5MM ones as well.
Will you be working your way around to making the whole taillight cluster LED? |
