Talking






16 LEDS per light

this is only at 12.4 volts. the car runs at 14.3 so it'll be brighter

NICE!!!! I have the white LED module from oznium in already. I have no problem tearing into the side markers again. You'll have to post up the parts used and where you got them. I'm definitely going to have to do this.

OH WOW!!! We talked about this before and I was saying this mod was theoretically possible of course but I never thought someone would attack it! Infamous you are the MAN!! Pioneer of the Switchback Sidemarker mod!!, I never thought I'd see the day! I have to see it on the car! Imagine the triple-takes from people with 4 trick switchbacks!! CRAZY!

Should I? Should I not. You know this going to bother me so much I am going to end up doing it. Spring project!!

Yes they blink simultaneously with the side marker cuz i have it wired to the relay positive and the Common of the relay with two diodes .

EVOLICARUS you should start charging people for this service, i'm sure almost all of us would want this done

Dont know bro this one was my first big soldering and cutting into the car mod and it got kinda rough. i got to do it again for my cousin so we'll see how easy that project goes cuz i learned alot the first time up so it should be alot easier.

i think you should bro you are the LED KING in here.

Thanks for those who gave props. it was rough but after all said and done THAT SHIT LOOKS HOT and im the only ONE that has them HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

heres are some videos with them on the car.





off the major Deegan near yankee stadium. i never put on the load resistors cuz i liked the lights blinking fast for ya that notice. ENJOY!!

as for parts

PLCC-2 LED's - http://www.oznium.com/plcc-2

PC Board - http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103798 ( or similar to it)

and resistors from Oznium.

Know your Formulas or www.ledcalc.com

i also changed up my boards from earlier becuz my resistor went MIA so i had to change to 12 leds 6 white, 6 orange

Been busy with this for a while so i got to take care of stuff at home ( WIFE) so i'll be on with a DIY type thing in a couple of days
