LED tail light retro '99 Tacoma, pics!
Since Ive got my forward lighting done, i figured that i would do the tails, I'm using 64 red/orange Lumileds SuperFlux LED's per side for the park/brake light, and around 50 amber LED's for the turn per side (haven't got the turn boards done yet).
I bought a pair of red/clear taillights to use for this project, so far i have both park/brake boards done and am going to start on the turn boards this weekend, or sooner if i find time, i bought a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) regulator to control the park/brake function, and am using voltage regulators for the turn LED's. I'm sure most of what i said is foreign to some of you, but when i get more time i can explain it more in depth if anyone is interested, now onto some pics The red/clear taillight: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...PICT0028-1.jpg Brake board fitment: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...4/PICT0040.jpg Back of brake board: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...PICT0041-1.jpg PWM http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...PICT0043-1.jpg Park mode: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...4/PICT0042.jpg Brake mode: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...PICT0039-1.jpg Let me know what you think |
That looks awesome man! Very nice.
A few questions... 1) Where are you going to mount the regulator? Do you need just one, or one for each side? 2) Did you have to heat the lights in order to get the lenses off? 3) Could your average Joe with some electrical knowledge do this project or is it a little more complicated? Just looking at the back of the brake board gives me a headache! 4) Any plans to do the front turn signals and/or corner lights? |
