well I got more leds today.

The 60 leds towers to replace my 48's( weren't bright enough)

2 194 hyper white to replace the broken ones in the headlights

A 5 led hyper white , to have as an extra

a 9 led 194 to replace the light that went out in my license plate.

a set of wire connectors male ,female for the led boards

 

hey srtgtr, i just wanted to help u with ur leds, i had some of the same problems with mine that u were having.... check to make sure all the resistors are soddered tightly and have no play... along with the bulbs, i had one row on the brake lights work sometimes and sometimes not, i messed with the small bulb on the bottom of the row and bingo, worked great... check all the bulbs with power hooked to it to make sure they all have good conection.....

not to rub it in but mine are working great... to bad i do not have fing tail lights to put them in!!!! ugh

 

I'm just going to send them back to lsp so she can work her magic on em.
I messed up some of the silver leads on the board removing leds and resistors, so I may have screwed the board. I just don't have the time or patience for these dammed things.


If your going to do something with the back up lights may I suggest these:



They have 48 smt leds and would go in perfectly when the outer lense is removed.

I will be putting those in mine, should look sweet!

Good luck on the tail situation.

 

I like those reverse lights.

 

i was thinking about that yesterday accually about wondering about the reverse lights, i am going to tape off the reverse light like lsp before i nightshade (if i night shade) so i am not sure if i will need them or not... got a link for them?

 

Sure, Its on this page:

Idk if you wana pay 24.99ea for em, though.

 

na, not really.... if i night shade the reverse light will be clear anyway... so i will prolly stick with the regular bulbs that are in it.

 

make sure you clear coat the night shade other wise it comes out like a flat black.

 

I got my boards back from lsp.. I got the last set, the same style as mine but with 3mm leds. If I can somehow get my others to work I'd have two.. lol

Couple other things:

Since I wasn't using the leds for the headlights anymore, I'm going to be putting them to use.
The ones that come with the headlights are in fact the four pronged Piranha SuperFlux LED, which is a very bright led. So I took 4 of them out of there 194 socket bases, drilled 4 holes in the hvac and mounted them... For now.

I'm trying to figues out right now which wires for the hvac is the illumination wire and which one is the ground.



While I was in the center console I attempted to get the defroster led in there from vamp which i got awhile back. despite some triming of the socket, it still wasn't enough. The socket for the tiny board for the defroster does use a #74 led, the same as the hvac itself.


I now have

2- 24cm (24led) strips
2- 12cm (12led) strips
On the way, for the ultimate instrument cluster!
Btw if you didn't know I just picked up an r/t cluster... yay!

 

great information,
!!! Congratuletions กกก
