On the radar are LED boards for the front turnsignal bucket. LEDs would be pointing directly to the front of the car to focus optical energy forward.
There are 3 versions I can think of: 1) US lens: All amber LEDs; all on low for running lights; on high for turnsignals. 2) Euro lens: White LEDs on the lower section; on for running lights; amber for turnsignals. White LEDs would turn off when turnsignals are on. 3) Clear lens: White running LEDs on the outside of the lens; Amber LEDs in the center for turnsignals. White LEDs would turn off when turnsignals are on. Which versions would folks want? I think I would like the clear lens. The oval running lights would be unique. Mock up of turnsignal LED PCB. PCB for clear lens. PCB for Euro lens. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I'm targeting 3 versions: US (all amber lens): All amber LEDs. All on softly for running lights; bright for turnsignals Euro (clear bottom; amber top lens): White LEDs on the bottom, on bright when running lights on; top amber LEDs blink bright for turnsignals (the amber could be on softly or off for running lights for running lights) Clear lens: White LEDs around perimeter, on bright when running lights on; center amber LEDs blink bright for turnsignals (the amber could be on softly or off for running lights) After conversation with CptTripps, I don't think I will blank out the white LEDs when the turnsignal is blinking. More light = better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Sooooo. . what if I want to use the Euro version with an American lens? Will it be crappy or decent?

I am ordering some white LEDs to do some testing. I need to see how bright the white LEDs are plus I need to measure the on voltage to determine the bias circuit. |
