Re: Some LED fun...only the beginning
there is a strip on the trunk lid that i wired up today..
realized the brake lights are the same wires as the turn signals so if i hit the brake they all light up
but i picked up a brake helper switch that i might use to separate the turning/brake
there will be 1 more strip in each light for the taillight that will more of illuminate the lenses
then an LED 1157 for the brakes
the strips i get are 30cm long and fit perfectly inside the lense.. you can also get side shining LEDs
the ones on eaither side curv are Side LEDs and the trunk is normal shining

Very COOL could I put those in my 63 lenses since they are smaller ?

Re: Some LED fun...only the beginning
Ones in video are (lens diameter of around (11"s)
30cm long can be cut every 2 LEDs
New ones(lenses) are 7.5" at base and 6"s at the tip...
Deciding whether to have 1 2' long swirled or 2 12" long ones in each lens..
Once 2 strips start they move in rotation a millisecond off from each other so they quickly become uneven..
So thats also being taken in account
