    Overdrive Vehicle Headlights?

    I use the silvainia silverstars and I've had 3 sets in my car since last december. My first set lasted 2 months but my headlights flashed twice when unlocking my door with keyless entry. Then flashed another two times to unlock the rest of the doors. All the constant flashing probably caused...

    Overdrive Vehicle Headlights?

    [ QUOTE ] stephenanderson2 said: I don't rember the brand name, but my wrx got an upgrade from 55/65watt to 85/110 and xenon "i think" That made my lights much brighter. I also upped the fog lights from 55 to 100. Then pointed the headlights up just a little. These mods fixed all my light...

    Aftermarket LED car lights

    Posted by "The LED Museum": [ QUOTE ] If I remember right, the Lumileds taillight rounds and CHMSL arrays use "spider" LEDs, rather than Luxeon Stars. Something else the cleaners got or threw away...otherwise I could take pictures of them and measure them...

    homemade led tail lights

    just thought I'd throw this out there to see what people think... http://aol8mydog.freeservers.com/mine3/ I gutted out my tail lights and put lumileds' super-flux leds in.

    Interest in automotive LED conversions?

    The third brake light was the first thing I ever switched to LEDs since it was the easiest. Actually, I was so intent on having an LED third brake light I made one for my first car that didn't have one at all. I tested the wires on my brake pedal switch for a + signal and ran a wire from that...

    Interest in automotive LED conversions?

    NightShift, most of the dash lights are LEDs. The ones that aren't are the illumination lights, turn signals, highbeam indicator, and cruise control indicator. For the door ajar, I just switched the red LED for a white one just for fun. yeah, my tail lights are blacked out... in the...

    Interest in automotive LED conversions?

    darrel, thanx not exactly the best looking on the inside, but no one sees the insides of the tail-lights anyway del rockwell, that would probably be one of the best applications for LEDs. One of the reasons I would like to make my whole car LEDs (except for the headlights of course) is...

    Interest in automotive LED conversions?

    I think I posted this link before... long time ago... can't remember. Anyways, I converted my tail lights to LED's and also converted my cluster, dash and window/door lock switches on my doors to blue LEDs. http://aol8mydog.freeservers.com for a directory listing of some pictures. I used 92...

    15/50 watt - no difference?

    Could be true, but I don't think the filiment placement makes that much of a difference... at least in the tail lights. That type of design feature would only be used in headlights for the high/low beam pattern as you probably already know. Both tail-lights and brake lights have the same...

    New GREEN LED traffic signals way too bright?

    stingmon, sorry... didn't know you were in a wheelchair. In that case, yes, it would be rather far.

    New GREEN LED traffic signals way too bright?

    stingmon... you don't have to go very far to see the green LED traffic signals. They're all over the redmond and issaquah area.

    1157 LED bulb

    unfortunately those 1157 replacements aren't very bright. I'm sure just one luxeon on there would be brighter than all those LED's combined. They may seem bright straight on, but their viewing angle is only about 15 to 22 degrees. I use to use them in my truck, when I had my truck, and on a...

    how hot are resistors suppose to get?

    I'm sure someone else has asked this before... but to make sure I don't burn out my resistors while running the LS at 330mA, I am using 5 1/2 watt resistors in parallel but they are too hot to leave my finger on it for more than a split second. I can smell them slightly, but not that burning...

    how hot are resistors suppose to get?

    Chris... thanx for your help. it works out to 1.9 watts. I'm sure that sounds right. Silviron, I don't have them in my car yet. It's in the shop getting tranny fixed but I should get it back this week. Right now I'm just testing it with a regulated 9v power supply. I'm going to take it...
