A pair of brake and a pair of red turn signals please.

Thanks much.

[Spoke]

Guys thanks for all the support.

I will contact you for payment when your boards are being built. To speed things up I have a buddy at work who will build boards too.

Some comparisons with standard bulbs in daylight at about 25 feet away. Turnsignals:

Brakes in daylight. Brake lights were connected to flasher wire since my wife said sitting in the car hitting the brakes while I shoot the video was "stupid".

These LED tail lights are awesome. Do you have plans to do anything with the reverse lights? Mine work but put out so little light they are not helpful other than letting people behind me know that I'm backing up.

[Spoke]

Experimenting with plastic clips. My colleague is printing these on his 3D printer.

Also will add some heat shrink tubing to the turnsignal end clip so no one cuts themselves on it.

Someone else asked about the reverse lights. I could do it if there's enough demand. Would have to figure out some attachment method since there's no divider on the one side of the reverse light.

Since the reverse lights are simple, I just figured a set of Cree replacement bulbs are fine there. They aren't nearly as important as the taillights. Probably going to do the same with the side warts.

What are Cree's? Is that a brand? I've not heard of them.

[monkeyboy]

Yes. They are one of the brands that just aren't putting out crap LED replacements.

Can't say I have used these, but these guys use Cree...

Soke, thank you for building these.

Thanks,

Zach, for you, yes we will let you in. Just when is it you will have your car on the road? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

We're switching the clips from the brass clips to plastic clips. These work well as they do not scratch the housing and hold the boards very securely. It is likely these will change as we figure out better ways to hold the boards.

Screws are 4x3/8. For the brake lights, the short clip screws to the single hole side and long clips to the 2 hole side. These clips will strip easy so tighten very very lightly and make sure the clips are close to the board as the clips and board are a very tight fit in the housing.





When putting the brake board in, start the all three clips then push in all together. The screws may need just a little twist. Go easy as these strip easily. Ok if they do strip a bit as there is a lot of friction holding the board in.

[Spoke]

For the turnsignal boards, 2 long clips are used on the 2 hole side and one very long clip on the single hole side. Again tighten the screws very lightly.





The 2 long clips go on the inside of the housing and the longer clip attaches to the bulb reflector.



With both boards in place, there is very little play between the brake and turnsignal clips and the lens where the parts of the lens are glued together. Care must be taken to make sure the lens fits between the clips. If you have trouble with this, give me a shout and we'll work it out.

Is it to late to get added to the list?
If not I will take the red stop and amber turn signals

Thanks!!!

[palmer_md]

I'm in also. Love the new clips and the side signal LED's. Fantastic product.

[MATTYLITE]

If this group buy is still being offered I'd like to be put down for a set of red tail lights / amber turn signals. If the group buy has ended, I'd still like a set of red tail lights / amber turn signals.

Any way of having black colored clips printed instead of blue? I have clear tail lights, and I believe the blue would stand out more than necessary..

[JmuRiz]

Very cool, I'm in for red brakes and turns...but I'll wait until the front sets are ready (to save on shipping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
