    Urgent LED Selection Question

    Putting a DOT approved tail light behind a lens of another DOT Approved tail light makes them both illegal to operate. If the OP chose to go that route he should cut holes in the lenses of his tail lights, and mount the dot trailer tail lights in said holes, assuming that his tail lights are...

    What LED should I use?

    I've been building a device in SketchUp that will wrap around the outside edge of a stop/slow sign and have flashing LEDs corresponding to the color of the respective sign color. I've got the basic design down and am at a loss for what type of led to use in the device. My first thought was a 5mm...

    LED Suggestions please?

    I am prototyping a lighted silicone ad-on for a stop/slow flagger paddle. I've decided on a design for the silicone but I am at a loss for what to use for an LED. I started designing it for through hole 5mm component leds but I thought there might be a better solution here. I haven't decided on...

    Post those >100,000mi vehicles

    I run two 97 escorts and a 98 A6. The escorts have 225k and 175k. The Audi has 190k. Nothing special for maintenance. Just pay attention to the sound of the engine for clues that something going wrong. Rebuilt the 175k escort 15k ago because of a failed valve seat (most common cause of failure...

    Amber DRL Opinion?

    I see lots of vehicles that use the front turn signals as DRLs. Have these been designed any differently than their non DRL counterparts? I can't seem to find any actual regulation on the use or design of DRLs. I know that turn signals have to meet certain photometric requirements, but do DRLs...

    Add DRLs to Toyota Previa? Or not?

    Never mind, I just answered my first question, a relay driven by the DRL module would still power the headlamp at full power :-( . The second question still stands though.

    Add DRLs to Toyota Previa? Or not?

    Just curious about the hi/low DRL... Could an of the shelf reduced voltage module be used with a couple 5 pin relays to drive both beams in parallel? And or (not taking into consideration the severely diminished output) two relays used at each lamp module to do some polarity swapping so achieve...

    LED resistor calculations that incorporate the factory dash dimmer

    I have a prefab strip with resistors already setup for 12v and it will stay lit for 2/3 of the range of the factory dimmer. I haven't done anymore experimenting than that but it is the same experience I've seen in others and read about on forums. I will eventually pull my dimmer out and measure...

    LED resistor calculations that incorporate the factory dash dimmer

    Ive looked all over this site and cant find one reference to what i am looking for. I want to convert all of my interior indicator and night interior illumination to LED but I want to be able to use the full range of the factory resistive dimmer in my vehicle. I am not talking about the dome...

    V-leds?

    Re: V-lеԁѕ? I know they're illegal and I do not plan on using them on my vehicle, I am curious how the optics are supposed to work to mimic an incandescent bulb in the incandescent receptacle and lens given that the aforementioned units apparently do not mount in a twist-lock socket but with a...

    V-leds?

    Re: V-lеԁѕ? to bump an old thread, has anyone installed the V-3 Switchback led's from this company? I am curious as to exactly how they mount in the traditional socket orifice in a vehicle. I haven't found much detail on their website.:confused::bumpit::bumpit::bumpit:
