    pictorial review of LEDs

    SUCCESS. So far. LED's are much better quality, a little dimmer but working perfectly. Now, all i need to do is figure out how to delay the power as right now it is powered by ignition. What i would like to do is start the car and allow a few seconds for the car to start before the LED's get...

    Thanks, I'll do some more testing and that was 110 degrees Farenheit.

    pictorial review of LEDs

    Thanks for the help. Any idea what and where a "round PCB thing" can be found as that was one of my first thoughts was getting the LED's onto a PCB with some heatsinks built in.

    pictorial review of LEDs

    I admittedly never measured the amps becuase of that very reason, I did check the volts and I had a solid 11.89 v off of the regulator under load and while idle, with the 33ohm resister I had about 9 volts to share between 3 leds in series which is well under the 3.5 v spec of the oznium leds...

    pictorial review of LEDs

    Well, another failed attempt. Got a couple that are starting to lose their color already and are sure to burn out....are these just crappy LEDs or is it just too hot and restrictive in the headlight housing? Audi's work, why don't mine (okay, bad question).

    yes, watts in heat it can disipate so I thought the 1W were easier to find and bigger is better.....

    pictorial review of LEDs

    I have been using 1W resistors (probably over kill), anything wrong with that?

    pictorial review of LEDs

    That was my original problem, but then I rebuilt and I think I mentioned that I am now using a voltage regulator for 12V and I'm getting about 11.91V to the LED setup now, so I should be within spec, other than heat I believe, so will dropping in a higher rated resister cut the heat down to the...

    pictorial review of LEDs

    Re: Miscellaneous pics... Hey Mr. Happy, each set of 3 has their own resister and I'm thinking you are right. The superflux are rated for 3.5V at 80mA. With 12 volts coming in and 3 LED's that's a recommended 22ohm resister for the 3 so what I was thining is a 33ohm resister so as to get the...

    pictorial review of LEDs

    Ha ha, okay okay, here are a couple new ones (before the driver side burnout): As you can see from an angle, it definately sticks out more and that's because I'm not smart enough to make a mount that keeps all the LED's pointed forward like a real Audi...that will be on test build...

    pictorial review of LEDs

    Thanks guys for the input, here's a pic of what I have so far, in person they are quite a bit brighter and this was taken when I had only 11 LED's per lamp but was running into problems. Rebuilt with a 12v regulator and 15 LED's in 5 sets of 3 in series and now need to cut the voltage down some...

    pictorial review of LEDs

    Re: Miscellaneous pics... Hey Illum, what were you testing with the Superflux and the copper heatsink you added? How did it go? Reason I ask is because I've been scouring the web looking for help. I have been experimenting with LEDs (total noob) and have designed a LED strip to mimic the...
