finished up my led third brake light and its held up through a week of testing without any issue

FS THREAD

At the moment I have enough supply to make 5 more, and am looking to see if anyone has any interest in one. These will be Plug&Play and will swap out with the unit you have in.
I am looking at offering a "buy back rebate" option for people who send back their old unit (so that I can make more) and I would paypal them back a certain amount.

pictured the steps and then the final installed, any input or suggestions are welcome!







(different board but same is done for all)

11V would be when cranking, I know why would you care if your lights work when you're cranking? Just picked a low extreme to show how well a buck/boost copes. But like I said, best way is to just build to a lower target voltage and then regulate the car down to that to power them with simple single part vreg. You can get the vregs by the dozens for a few dollars, usually about 75 cents each when buying in quantity on ebay or aliexpress.
