Because everyone has the kouki tail lights, i'd like to try something new. Drilling 80 holes with 80 leds, and 10 hours work on 1 taillight, is this the result.    This week i try to build the unit on the car, and then we will see how it look like. |

Would've been kind of hard to use SMD's in this instance. For one the curvature of the line would've made it a pain, and the fact the holes were drilled out and the LED's inserted would be more difficult with a SMD. Unless you baked open the light and could get SMD strips to fit into the crevice he used, that would be a little easier overall. The only thing I would've done differently on this install would've been to make a lot of arrays in series and wire them in parallel to greatly reduce the amount of resistors and soldering needed.
Looks cool and has a lot of possibilities. Would work great as a stop light or as a tail light. Kind of like the idea of using it as a stop light, really get people's attention. This post has been edited by Box: Sep 18, 2013 - 1:58 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
