woo hoo....i gots lights! ![]() it took a bit of time,patience and creative thinking but it's custom and only cost me about $12 to put together. imma sucker for details and realism so a 5mm housing poking out the front just wouldn't do.....so....i made some headlight buckets by heating plastic and pressing it into a 15mm socket with an 8ball marble. ![]() ![]() 6 5mm 1000mcd LEDs on top and two 10,000mcd on the fenders make up the brakelights. ![]() this pic shows my first choice for brake lights but the LEDs were dimmer then the others so i swapped em for the 10k's ![]() wiring shots....(sorry for the mess but if my work space isn't clutterred then i'm lost..) ![]() ![]() ![]() fully wired and ready to go. i opted for three 3v batts for longevity,brightness and the fact that if i split the load i didn't have to bother with series configs and resistors. ![]() ![]() here's the money shot(s)! ![]() ![]() one thing i liked about making the headlight buckets was finding out how well they dispursed the light like a 1:1 bucket. i was kinda worried that all you would see was the diode.... now i get to pull it all back apart and start paint!! ![]() i'm open to suggestions on the paint scheme if anyone has .02 they could spare. my only requirement is that it includes black/silver and green. cheers,
