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. |

In both video clips, are the driver side lamps the stock incandescent bulbs?
I notice a lag to full illumination, whereas the passenger side are a lot quicker and precise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As far as I'm concerned, the same safety factor applies to the fronts. If they are brighter and easier to see by opposing traffic, they are definitively worth the $ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

When looking at the flashing of the bulb, when the bulb turns off, its illumination dies quite slowly such that it is almost off by the time the flasher turns back on. The LED is just ON-OFF, no slow turn on or lagging illumination. |
