This is a group buy for front bucket LED boards. Please respond here if interested. I will PM you with payment details.
Available in two configurations: 1) US Version: 69 AMBER LEDs: $125/pair 2) Euro Version - w/Blanking: 21 WHITE LEDs in clear of lens; 48 AMBER LEDs: Price: $145/pair Shipping: CONUS: $10 Canada: $25 Outside CONUS: Determined at purchase. CONUS payment examples: US Version: $125 + $10 = $135 Euro Version - w/Blanking: $145 + $10 = $155 Each pair includes: o 2 PCBs o US Version: 69 AMBER LEDs. o Euro Version: 21 WHITE LEDS (Running lights) and 48 AMBER LEDs (Turnsignal). Euro Version with blanking will turn off WHITE LEDs when turnsignal is engaged. Pigtail with 1157 base to plug directly into existing bulb socket. 4 clips for each pair to mount the boards to existing front bucket housing for plug-n-play installation. 4 screws for clips + 1 extra 1 piggyback spade connector if existing turnsignal flasher is replaced by EP36 LED flasher from your FLAPS. 1 year guarantee Electrical Characteristics US version: Turnsignal: 0.39A @ 14V (5 Watt) each PCB Running light: 0.07A @ 14V (1 Watt) each PCB Example front LED board shown with only tools needed: large Philips screwdriver for lens screws and smaller Philips screwdriver for PCB mounting screw. Installation of the front turnsignal bucket LED boards. There are 2 clips for each board. The small one goes in front the the long one on the rear. Screw in the rear clip. The small front clip mounts on the top of the board. These will be screwed in when I build the board. The bottom of the board will contact the bucket base to keep the board straight. Here's the board ready for installation with the bulb base connected. When installing the board, make sure the pigtail does not interfere with the rear clip. Gently slide the board in. There are slots on either side of the board to clear the guides on the sides of the bucket. Ready for the lens. The lens will hold the board in place. If you need to reposition the board, do not grab the LEDs as they will move. Use a paper clip or similar wire to pull the board out. |

US set only. I guess this is plug and play...no relay or other electrical change? I'm electrical illeeterette.
How do you compare the brightness to just the bulb? Pictures online anywhere? Also while I'm in there...can you give me an LED side marker bulb number that will also plug and play the side markers?? Thanks Bill |

However, there is a chance that your hazard flasher may have difficulty either flashing or flashing the dash indicators properly. Most folks have rewired the dash indicators (this can be done by pulling the tach out and this mostly has worked correctly. If the flasher needs replacing, there are 2 types readily available at your FLAPS. The EP26 and EP36 flashers are compatible with the 914 and LEDs but still may need to rewire the ground wires on the dash indicators. Some videos of the front LEDs. This is the Euro version. First the turnsignals; then just the running light. For the turnsignal, the US lens is on. For the running light, the lens is removed. I wanted to observe the angle of incidence on the LEDs. These LEDs have 30 degree 1/2 power angle. So for the turnsignals and running lights, I varied the angle of viewing from about +/- 45 degrees from the front of the car. I was about 30 feet away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEIcKTeHoa0 Now the running light with the US lens off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xe09_u_dSg Below are graphs showing the relative light intensity between a US LED board and the standard 1157 bulb. The first graph is the difference between the turnsignals and the second between the running lights. Each graph shows the intensity as one moved from in front of the car (0 degrees) to the side of the car. For turnsignals, the bulb puts out about 12 LUX and the LED about 82 LUX or greater than 6x brighter. For running lights, the bulb puts out less than 2 LUX and the LED board over 12 LUX, again more the 6x brighter. Notice that the LED running light is as bright as the bulb on turnsignals (12 LUX). |
