900 Cars: - Our New LED thingies

monkeh · Dec 11th, 2010, 17:31

Niloc (Colin) and me, Blinged up our tanks...
A few LEDS and a few transistors, circuits, lightpipes and a lot of swearing Made these

The Whites stay on constantly with day running lights, and 9 yellow LEDS are on a reduced current on the side markers.

When the indicators are activated, the transistor 'switches' more current and makes the 9 side marker LEDS brighter and...

Not bad eh? And they flash Too!
The circuit was designed, built, etched and developed by Niloc- Not a bad mod for less than £20 (I Think)

Looks good guys, a nice cheap mod it doesn't look too "flash".
Your car, you do what you want with it.

Not my thing Colin and Gareth .... but if you both like them hey who cares what others think .
I do like the LED in the sidelights though , will be getting some for my 740 to replace the dull yellow sidelights .

monkeh,Niloc,Working out how to make you'r LED's do what they do is very clever, but personally,not for me.I have however, installed LED sidelights on both my cars,brightens them up a bit,thats enough for me. I'm shure you'r both pleased with how your cars now look, and thats how it should be,each to his own.
