QUOTE(pvollma @ Sep 26 2016, 11:26 AM)  It's better than nothing, it was an easy installation (already had the reflector, and the brake wiring is right there), requires no additional changes or holes drilled and, being in an unexpected location and shape, it does catch your attention. On our 914s, "higher up" is certainly a relative term! If your "SUV-driving, texting, soccer-mom" is so close that she can't see the normal brake lights, I would suggest a crash is imminent and unavoidable, no matter where the third brake light is located.

QUOTE(Spoke @ Sep 26 2016, 12:04 PM) QUOTE(JP3 @ Sep 24 2016, 11:07 PM) I am not sure how they will hold up with the heat from the engine. Nice setup. I don't think heat will be an issue. LEDs like I use have a high operating temp of 100C (212F). Some other surface mount LEDs have a high operating temp of > 300F. While running, the grill and LEDs should be relatively cool as it sucks in ambient temp air. I am more worried about the adhesive on them that will melt and let the strips fall off onto the engine. My engine bay gets pretty warm with the small block in there. |

My engine bay gets pretty warm with the small block in there. Good point. Is it possible to tie wrap the LEDs to something? I wouldn't trust the adhesive. At least if it falls it won't go anywhere and I doubt the engine will inhale the LED strip. Not sure about the fan though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
