Spoke - I totally missed this. Did I miss the boat on this one or do you have any sets left? I bought the rears and was waiting for the fronts and missed the thread.

Let me know,
John

Good to hear about the fronts. Yes, I have a set of brakes and red turnsignals ready to ship. Will have more boards in about week.

I'd like a set of the Euro front signals as well. How much are the Euro rear light assemblies and are they available still?

Spoke--question on the Euro fronts--is the amber section dim lit when in an "idle" state? From the picture above it looks like they are--I thought the amber section was only lit when the signals were engaged...

Considering picking up a set of Euro fronts "just in case" I ever want to go that route...
Still (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) my US version set, amazing upgrade (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

The ambers are on dim on Ralph's car. He requested that option. I haven't socialized that option with the group to keep things simple for my assembly guy. It can be done on the Euro versions.

I have the one set of Euro boards from Ralph's car that I will sell at a discount since they are used. They will still be warranted for 1 year as with new boards. If you didn't know they were used it would be hard to tell.

Price for this one set is $120. Normal price is $145. These have white LEDs which turn off when turnsignals are active. They also have the amber LEDs on dim when the white LEDs are on.

I finally have a website to make the selection and payment of LEDs a bit smoother. Please feel free to visit and let me know how it is.

The site also has installation instructions for all the LED boards.

Since I managed to cannibalize my own sockets by introducing black colored boards, I have several 911 and 914 front turnsignal boards with green PCBs listed in a bargain page.

I never planned to make a front sidemarker LED board but reconsidered making one after I started making rear sidemarkers for the 911.

Below are a couple of 911 rear sidemarker boards and a plastic mock up of a 914 front sidemarker board.

I tried to use the 911 sidemarker on the 914 but it was a bit too large. The 911 board is 1.25 inch whereas the 914 sidemarker board will be 1.19 inch; just 0.06 inch smaller. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Attached Image

Here's the mock up board in the 914 sidemarker fixture. With 12 LEDs, these sidemarkers are very bright. The 911 sidemarker is about 7x brighter than the standard bulb.

Hope to have first PCBs by next week.

I now have front sidemarker boards in stock. These are $30 for a pair.

I measured light intensity of the standard bulb and this board. The standard bulb at 4 feet put out 0.8 LUX directly opposite of the bulb and 0.5 LUX at a 45 degree angle.

The LED board at 4 feet straight on was measured at 3.8 LUX and 2.5 LUX at 45 degree angle. In general this board is more than 4x brighter than the standard bulb as measured on my car.

You can find these boards at:

Jerry - Excellent news. I already placed an order for a set. Thanks for taking care of us and making these terrific lights for our cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

They look much nicer and more importantly, are better for the electrical system as they draw so much less voltage and they increase safety on the road as our cars are more visible to those damn distracted drivers with their noses in the phones while they drive.
