DUDE!! Thats cool!!

Nice heatsink design.

Will you be making any for sale?

 

[Jumi]

Really nice heatsink, did you make them?

I used same driver(350mA) for Dome light for GF.s VW Polo, they are nice and cheap.

can you post some photos when lights are in use in your car, thanks

by night:

these lights shine good, only what disturb me is that drivers from DX cause too much disturbance (radio receive 50% less radio stations) - I must repalce them (probably I will use another ssc p4 led and resistor on each side and conect them serial)

I just ordered luxeon rebel on a triple star board. I will replacessc p4 with them- so it will be easier adjust voltage from 13.8 V to 9.5 V

- for thath time until i get rebel i found simple solution. I made constant curent source with LM317 and it works great in a car where is enought power and you dont have to think abauta loss of energy.

Heatsinks?

Nice work!
What driver are you going to replace the DX with?

dumb question:
Is there anyway to shield the DX driver to prevent radio interference?

 

[bshanahan14rulz]

yeah, perhaps there's a way to shield it? I don't know a lot about radio interference, but what if you wrapped it in grounded foil or something? worth a try at least
