    LEDs for my cars

    i did but got confused pretty quickly. as far as the prius thread goes i grew tired of the "dont do it" kinda thing. mine are for show and offroad purpose and will be using different colors anyhow. so i guess my DRL comparison isnt really a correct description.

    LEDs for my cars

    i intend on using them in a sort of daytime running light capacity, more for shows really. i am familiar with needing lenses and reflectors and so forth, what i need to know is what the best way to power them is.

    Need help picking an LED

    more like a tail light, it definately doesnt need to illuminate any thing. also if it is further than 100 yds that is fine to, i just dont want something that is blinding or anything. a brightness between a taillight and a taillight with the brakes applied. so really i guess the actual...

    Need help picking an LED

    on a side note i would like a lens that can mount to the star board and has a textured or frosted surface so the led is not visible behind it when it is off. preferably the textured like the 1st one

    Need help picking an LED

    i appreciate the help, and as far as the search function i wasnt necessarily looking for some one to link me to specific leds but rather help me by giving me an idea as to what luminosity. as well as what type of lens. i am new to the real specifics of leds and am excited to learn.

    LED DRL

    i am well aware of these facts, and they have nothing to do with my question, as i ask what would work and not what would be legal. also i will be producing them with the intention of them being used in a track or show setting. if someone decides to use them on the road that is their choice...

    LED DRL

    can you link me to what you are referring to? my intention is to sell them as "for off-road use only" there are several kits available and are far from legal as they use fog light modules for highs and lows. rarely are we pulled over for these things and more often than not cops dont know...

    LED DRL

    I am currently designing a headlight kit for the 3rd gen Mazda RX7. I am almost finished but have run into a snag. I know what i am going to use for the high and low beam, both are Hella projectors. However I am at a loss for what to use for the Daytime Running Light (DRL). I would really...
