Looks really nice. I wouldn't mind doing that to my car... How did you do it? and was it very difficult?

yes, and no it was hard if you dont know what your doing because you have to change some resistors and some other stuff on the circuit board.

Would u be able to tell us where u got your LEDs and what resisters u used and the like please?

95XleV6 · 08-15-2003, 03:24 PM

i got the led's from a guy in hong kong i got them off ebay, i had a real hard time finding the blue led's were i live seems like all they had was green,yellow,and orange,and red, you would just have to search on ebay for them. As for the resistor goes it came with the led's we used it to to take the voltage from the factory like 1 volt or something to the 3 volts needed to run the led. You will need to make sure you get the 3mm led not the 5mm the 3mm's fit right in.

In keeping with the theam of things I have just Started and Compleated my LED blinker conversion. I took all night, but it's done. and i'm not 100% happy with the results. I'm using 15 Superbirght WHITE leds in each blinker. 9 where the bulb was and then a line of about 6 along the inside wall so that people to my left or right can see my blinker. They color came out ok but unfortunatly it's not that much brighter than my normal bulb blinkers. Maybe i need to use those other LEDs that are 10 times brighter, except they say do not look directly at the LED on the package so i dunno. But my bigest problem is that voltage
i don't draw enough power, so my car thinks my bulbs are out and blinks realyl fast. It makes a cool strobe effect for car shows, but it's actaully a real pain. If anyone knows how to fix this problem i'm open to sugests.

Might take some tomorrow night cause it's a night time car show and i'll show off all my stuff.

Under every post... there is a link to a person's profile, email, etc... one of those says "WWW"... click on that

Blantant advertising...

Some friends have a startup doing custom LED stuff, so they have millions of LED's around. They are selling them on the web, http://www.ledsupply.com. They're an awesome small company, and ship fast, and well packaged. Their prices are decent, and their products are very nice.
