We're starting REAR boards first, then adding FRONT boards in Feb. Will not be taking orders for front boards until they are available.

Please respond to this thread if interested. Orders will be taken in sequential order to be fair. I will PM you with payment information.

We can only build so many boards at a time so this GB will likely take a few months to complete. If I don't PM you right away, please be patient. I try to keep the payment-to-shipping time to less than 3 weeks.

The rear LED board is available in 3 different configurations:

1) Brake Light: RED LEDs: Price: $90/pair
2) Turnsignal: RED LEDs: Price: $100/pair
3) Turnsignal: AMBER LEDs: Price: $100/pair

Reverse LED Board: $60/pair


Shipping:
CONUS: $10
Canada: $25
ROW: Determined at purchase.

CONUS payment examples:
Brake LED only: $90 + $10 = $100
Brake LED and RED/AMBER Turnsignal LED: $190 + $10 = $200

Each Brake/turnsignal pair includes:
o 2 PCBs
o Brake/Taillights: 56 RED LEDs
o Turnsignals:56 AMBER (Euro) or RED (US) LEDs - Rearward facing; 8 side-facing LEDs to replace the small side running light. Side LEDs are AMBER (Euro) or RED (US) to match taillight lens.

Electrical Connection:
o Brake: Pigtail with 1157 base to plug directly into existing bulb socket.
o Turnsignal: Pigtail with 1156 base (turnsignal) and 5007 base (small side light)

6 clips for each pair to mount the boards to existing taillight housing for plug-n-play installation.

6 screws per PCB pair for clips + 1 extra

1 piggyback spade connector per turnsignal PCB pair in case existing turnsignal flasher is replaced by EP36 LED flasher from your FLAPS (early tach with separate L and R turnsignal indicators).

1 year guarantee.

Electrical Characteristics:
Brake/Turnsignal: 0.35A @ 14V (4.9 Watt) each PCB
Taillight: 0.06A @ 14V (0.8 Watt) each PCB

Example boards shown with early prototype brass clips. Clips are plastic for these boards.

So how do these look mounted in a housing? How do they look illuminated behind the lenses compared to standard incandescent bulbs and LED bulbs replacements?

The first several posts of the link below show how everything looks in the housing. Posts 27-30 show the lights in action.

I'm not planning to do reverse lights. I try to focus on lights that keep our cars safe in normal operation; brakes and turnsignals.

There's lots of off-the-shelf white LED lights available. Check out the following thread for LEDs for most all the other outside lights on the 914. Eric did a great job putting this together.

Curious why you have colored LEDs...did you try white LEDs with the factory lenses, and were they not enough?


Also, just sent payment...

LED visual spectrum is very tight whereas a standard bulb puts out most of the visual spectrum we can see. The red or amber lenses filter out all the frequencies of unwanted light so much of the light energy of the standard bulb is blocked by the lens.

It's one reason why the standard bulb burns 21W and LED boards like mine burn less than 5W and are much brighter.

Here's an example of the filtering. Most of the standard bulb energy is blocked or filtered by the lens. Most of the red LED energy passes through the red lens. This is why red or amber LED lights look so intense.

Here's the spectrum output of the white LEDs I use for front running lights. These are from CREE C503B-WAN.

The spectrum for red (C503B-RCN) and amber (C503B-ACN) that I used for brake and turnsignals. Pretty much all the energy from the LEDs passes through the lens. It is striking how much energy is blocked when a red LED board is placed behind an amber lens or amber LED board in front of a red lens.

Put me down for 1 set

Red / Red

Thanks

I'll be waiting on the fronts when you get around to doing them too.

Guess I will also be shopping for a new flasher relay.
