Illuminated Skyline

[3340TH]

3340TH: dude i got 30k LEDS for 3.95 each at jaycar. and they threw in a few extra. Jaycar ftw

What's Jaycar? The best auto place we got is autobarn.

[3340TH]

ummm...just wondering how ppl are using these as brake lights and a tail light, as LEDs dont have the extra filament in them to make em brighter.

If you connect 2 resistors in series and have the tail light active going to the first and have the brake light active loop straight to second, would this work? Would it blow fuses because of 2 different actives?

Hi guys

can some one please give me the part number for the stock r33 s1 garnish. my local nissan dealer doesnt have the import software.

thanks heaps

[Basti]

dont go through your dealer. you're gonna get reamed on price. head down to the local jap wreckers.

There are 12V LED's available, wouldnt these be more suitable then cheap 1.5V ones with resistors?

Also, Jaycar sell these two products, which are 12V. Do you think they'd be suitable?

^^^ They look OK as long as the spacing between the letters is alright.

If you are interested pm Dr Doof as he had it on his car and it was at the NSW Show N Shine for display, not sure if too many people noticed it as the sun made it hard to tell unless you were looking closely.

I had about 8 people over the day tell my my parkers were on, and im like, yes, and ill show you why

it was kind of hard to see, but it still looked pretty cool

i can make them for people, but i would prefer the money up front, as im in somewhat of a hole at the moment and cant afford a gamble...

$300 all up, less if you give me your facia, it will also take less time

thats my prototype V there, felt like making one that stands out a bit more, normal ones only have the letters light up... also do any combo of colours you can think of

really just for friends (or anyones in syd), pickup only

My Leds for this little project have finally arrived, but did not receive any bits of paperwork as i have in my other led projects. (bought the brightest ones specially, came in a bag with nothing but the leds). Only thing im wondering, i got these figures out of the book i ordered them out of and just wondering which ones i use...mA 75; mA (peak) 100; Vtyp 2.2; and Vmax 2.6.

12v - V? =

Ans \ mA? =

Resistance

ive read so many threads on this! can i just confirm? If i want mine to shine red. i spray the fascia in black but not over the letters, then spray it the colour of my car(white) and leave the leteres completly clear? or is it possible to have the letters white so it looks stock in the day but at night time the red shines through?...i cant see it working very well
