What Happened???????????/

[Lifsvr7]

ok... I am looking for some intormation on how to make them myself.. ie how to figure out the ohms+resistor set up to make my own board...

Closest thing to factory look I've seen so far. May have to get a pair of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY-SILVERADO-03-06-RED-LED-TAIL-LIGHTS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33713QQihZ015QQi temZ250039875751QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Has anyone checked this place out? They seem to make generic supplies for LED taillights as well as trying to make a piece for the 3000GT. This looked interesting to me yesterday.

Just read every page on this thread and like someone else said, was excited up until page 8. Oh well....

I'm working on a replaceable back plate for the OBS and a surgically installed one for the NBS. So far I can stuff about 100-120 LEDs in the NBS without any hot spots. I am also going to install a load resistor on the boards so they are plug and play.

Soooooo, you got any pics?

All I have are the boards with a bunch of LEDs on them now. I have two stock OBS tails and two candied NBS tails that I'm working with. I got the LEDs from superbrightled.com. They are three volt so I am running them 4 in series at a time on the board with a 1/4 watt resistor for parking lights. I am researching some sort of spike protection for the bulbs now (any ideas would be great. I was thinking about a cap). A 6ohm 50 watt resistor will be mounted for the "load" so the original flasher will work (still waiting on these).

Specs on the LEDs

I tried to mount (epoxy) them directly to the backside of the lens but it was too spotty. 1 1/4" seems like the sweet spot for these bulbs.

good job man, i was gonna tell you to get a patent on them earler today. DON"T post anything that anyone could get ahold of until you get one. all your hard work and R&D would be for nothing.


keep up the good work

I agree 1000% with not posting SHYT! until you have it completed and patents. Don't let others do your R&D (Ripoff and Duplicate)

I cheated and bought mine... lol

Putco.com has come out with a full LED line of products

I'd like some for my 93 Silverado. I prefer the kind where one can change out individual burned out leds, though. Actually, what I'd LOVE to have are Blue Dot tail lights, if I could only find em.
