yea the reason i looking up this but no details or nothing..
all i go is u can a multipurpose pc board l.e.d
but wow nothing else no detail or nothing...

yea i seen da cadillac lights der pretty bright but ders no reason to say i didntsee ur lights...lol

wide agle diffused?

 

When you look for LEDs (like superbrightleds.com) they should list the angle... like 15* -100* or so... i'd go for 60* or higher. And you can sand the bulbs down so theyre flat and will spread the light out when it goes through it.

When i do it, it will probably be about 150 or so LEDs a side.

 

i was in besthongkong.com it gives u everything bout l.e.d
but ill check out that site i apprecciate it alot...

so u gonna do this project to??

 

Whenever I get around to getting the red/clear light for my car..

Here's my plan:

1. Buy the DEPO red/clear tails
2. Put the new tails on the car, open up the old ones.
3. Size the circuit board or whatever I'm attaching the LEDs to.
4. Make circuit boards for brake and tail lights, soldering in the 300-some LEDs
5. Tint the old tails and seal them, crack open the red/clear tails and put the circuit in, possibly tint them.

If you do LED turn signals youll want the total power draw of the LEDS to equal the stock signal bulb. So if the bulb pulls 12W, the LEDs should too. This keeps the flashing at the same speed and wont give you a "bulb out" light. same goes for tails.

 

thanks..
yea i was thinking of buying da same oem tail lights and do the same thing tint dem dats y bright is not an issue...
how would you spread power evenly or even make eveything have its on purpose
like buying separate led boards or one whole one
i dont know what im trying to say

 

Well, for the brake light. I'll just hot glued the leds in and fill the whole board, on the backside though, I'll wire say the middle 1/3 for when the headlights are on and the top and bottom thirds for brakes

 

Okay on average a single LED pulls 20mA continuous current and I believe the stock bulb is a 12W/5W dual filament bulb.

5W/12V = .417A or 417mA

417mA/20mA = 21 LEDs for the parking brake lights (on all the time)

12W/12V = 1A or 1000mA

1000mA/20mA = 50 LEDs for the brake lights

Those numbers should be safe for the circuit and not overload it, you may not even need any resistors since the LEDs are all pulling their normal amount of power from the 12V supply.

Maybe falkore will jump in here and engineer something.

 

oohhh i see what you doing...
wow ima have to keep reading up on this..
i farly new to this well really really new to dis..
thanks lots

how do i figure how to do da angle on da accord tho?
like on da 94

 

Thats what I need to figure out, you can mounts the LEDs in anything, so maybe a sheet of polycarbonate plastic (aka Lexan) would work since it's flexible. But i dont know how much heat these will give off either.

Says 80mW per LED, so that's 5680mW (5.7W) of heat when youre braking and 1680mW (1.7W) of heat when the headlights are on, not a whole lot, so polycarbonate should work.

 

true true...
i dont thing it will melt it...hahaha
but ima keep looking for a board...
look for multipurpouse pc board at radio shack can be a great start project but ima keep looking for a board too

found that one
but if u using high power ones its said it give out 100ma per unit
