Knocked these off my to-do list.
Basically these are accent LEDs that the client will either hook up to his running lights or to a switch that he he can turn on whenever he wants....for show purposes.
They give off a pretty cool glow in darkness.
Cheers
Finally had some time to get back on these.
Got the first one prepped for wiring and started on the second one.
75 LED holes drilled and filed down to flush.
Next is to just secure the leds, wire them up....then seal back up both lights.
Finally got some time set aside for these....quicker than I thought it was initially going to take to mount the LEDs.
Just have to make clearance on the rear chrom shroud then I can seal these up and move on to the next one.......til then!
Doing some more custom work on a Kappa platform car for a customer with a Saturn Sky.
This time we'll be doing LED accents instead of a full on LED conversion.
These photos are for the client to help determine what exactly to do for lighting, since the taillight is pretty complex on the inside. Also, to show the nick in one of the lights that came in the box.
Little dremel work and these bad boys were apart.
So the only problem with this build got bigger.
Memphis has be on backorder for their MOJO amps...the 2500 beast I ordered over 2 months ago. Waiting and waiting on it, but still no luck. Got a call this morning that they are pushing the amps back ANOTHER month...so that sucks worse!!! So I said "screw it...not waiting" Ordered two 1100 watt mono amps, and we'll be strapping those together to get our 2200 watts we need. The biggest factor here is that we have subs for this system that were paired/ordered to work with said MOJO amp...well the two seperate amps won't work with those...so I needed to order new subs as well......oh well, now we'll have bumps by the weekend!! Stoked about that.
Painter got to the lights.....Did an amazing job...as always....so here are the rest of the exterior lights...ready to go on tonight...or tomorrow!
Cheers
Finally got some spare time for these.....templates made and everything is secure....just need the customer's good words then I can button this side up and start on the other side.
I with the budget on this build would have allowed me to mold and paint the taillights...but we're just doing a basic plug-n-play upgrade....so far so good
Got all the products in for these special taillights. 103 LEDs in all....that should be bright enough......after this, I have another set for a Saturn Sky to do....then most likely more once these hit the interwebs!!
Got a quick video together for the client to take a look at before I order parts.
LEDs are just sitting in the housings...so aiming is a bit off...anyways
Sequence in video is:
Lights Off
Lights On
Lights Off - Brake On
Lights On - Brake On
Cheers!
Finally getting back to these bad boys after nearly 6 months!
Tooks some random shots for the owner to see what he thinks...so i'll post them here as well.
Cheers
Finally got some free time, so I decided to open up the taillights on Project One-Off Solsti. Only too about an hour to get them open; alot more time consuming than opening headlights, but this way it won't melt the plastic on the taillights, since they are easily meltable. Placed the LED board I had in mind, into the assembly and they were much brighter than expected, but since they didn't reflect off the stock taillights assembly, the stock bulb is brighter ONLY where it counts: right center in the middle, where it was designed. Back to the drawing board as far as how to lay out a new LED board and integrate the PWM into it. Keep checking back for updates.
