Led rear indicators and reverse lights?

[chrislich]

Had quick scan can't see if anyone has tried this.

 

I want to have a go at having a cluster of LEDs for rear indicators same with reverse light as well. Not sure whether can do it for fog light?

 

Any hints and tips or if someone has tried. Advice greatly received. I need a project for coming month

How far off completing?

[Husky]

Getting there, getting some new parts laser cut at the weekend

dont let me hold you back though matey always good to see variety and different approaches

[chrislich]

I might have a go then. I've got an idea. Have to see if can do it

Shouldnt have a problem with LED indicators and LED fogs loads of people run when they have cleared out the fog cluster.

 

You need W21W fitment for them. Plenty of people do them on eBay too. The trouble I had with the fog was getting one bright enough. For indicators I would just go with Phillips SilverVisions and be happy with that, as a filament bulb blinks better than LEDs IMO. With the reverse light, I can see you struggling to get something bright enough to actually be useful, as in the 350z the bulb doesnt point straight back, rather at an angle, so you need an LED bulb that will radiate light so that the reflector has something to shine out the back. If not, and you get a directional LED bulb, it will light up somewhere to the rear left of the car

the designer for the laser cutter must be a technical genius, cant be easy to find people to do that kind of work

Will get some sorted and bring them over and you can have the other 2 for practice

[350 Russ]

did you ever get anywhere with this?

[Husky]

I did a new prototype the other day, put a fair few hours into them and they are pretty awesome compared to the old way I was doing it. I did them with a bunch of cheap chinese LED's for the prototypes just to test the theory out and it worked well, until the cheap LED's died (that's why you dont use cheap chinese LED's).

 

I will try and get another spare day and put a few quid aside for the good quality LED's to do it with, it's just a case of finding the time at the moment as this is a project as opposed to a customer order so i can't really prioritise it.
