This is a group buy of what I have referred to as the 5mm LED rev 2 Brake/Taillight PCB.
These are hand assembled one by one, tested, and will be delivered as they are produced. I have made a list of folks who have shown interest in purchase from my other thread. That list is in the next post. No need to re-request purchase if you are on the list. I will PM each member in turn. I will not request payment until your PCBs are to be assembled. The list is in chronological order and purchase requests will be handled in order. Please be patient. If you requested boards in that thread but are not on the list, please PM me and your name will be inserted appropriately. If you haven't previously requested a purchase and are not on the list in the next post please respond to this thread. Many folks are familiar with work done to develop LED brake and turnsignal lights from the LED developmental thread. See the last few pages for current info as I've tried several different configurations before arriving at the 5mm rev 2 PCBs. LED Taillight Development Thread This 5mm rev 2 PCB is available in 3 different configurations: 1) Brake Light: RED LEDs: Price: $90/pair 2) Turnsignal: RED LEDs: Price: $90/pair 3) Turnsignal: AMBER LEDs: Price: $90/pair Shipping: CONUS: $10 Outside CONUS: Determined at purchase. Each pair includes: 2 PCBs with 56 rearward facing 5mm LEDs each. Turnsignal configuration has 8 extra side-facing LEDs to replace the small side running light. Side LEDs will be AMBER color to match your taillight lens. Brake: Pigtail with 1157 base to plug directly into existing bulb socket. Turnsignal: Pigtail with 1156 base (turnsignal) and 5007 base (small side light) 6 clips for each pair to mount the boards to existing taillight housing for plug-n-play installation. 1 year guarantee Electrical Characteristics: Brake/Turnsignal: 0.35A @ 14V (4.9Watt) each PCB Taillight: 0.06A @ 14V (0.8Watt) each PCB Brake Configuration: RED Turnsignal Configuration: Actual Boards and clips: |

Thanks for the R2 advice, just updated mine.
A couple quick notes: - One of my brake assemblies had the T and B wires backwards (in the plug). Not a difficult fix, but just to let you know you had a QC escape. - I had one too few of the long brake clips, one too many of the long similar turn signal clips, and three too many screws. (None of these are issues, your sizing of the boards is spot-on so they are snug fit without extra clips). - Inserting/removing the bayonet adapters is quite easy if you jam a finger of appropriate size into the adapter and pretend you're inserting your finger. Little side guys are a bit difficult if you have big fingers, but I have had mine in and out several times whilst tinkering. - The extra-long turn signal/marker clips benefit from a dab of silicone adhesive once everything is OK. Not too much, so you can still yank them out, but just enough to stop them from popping off. |

I test all of these for functionality but the high/low settings must have slipped by me. Glad you could fix it. PM sent about the clips. BTW, I enclose a couple of extra screws with every set since these little things have a way of getting lost during assembly and installation. |
