The design of an early foglight LED board has begun. mepstein sent me a couple of foglight fixtures to use to design the board. 2 main issues are fitment and heat dissipation. If things work out ok the design should be able to be re-laid out for the later square foglight.

The board will have 8 Cree XP-G3 high power surface mount LEDs with 350ma current each. These will burn about 1W of power with a total power dissipation expected to be less than 10W. Hopefully these will be almost as bright as a headlight.

Each LED will have its own focusing lens. The lenses are Carclo 10192 elliptical 20mm lenses. The light pattern for the 10192 lens is shown below.

This is the spectral dispersion for the lens.

Will you be making these for the rectangle style fog lights?

If you can forward a single square fixture, I'll design a board for it.

@StratPlayer


If you don't have an extra fixture, maybe @mepstein has an extra square foglight fixture.

No, I had a set from a ‘75 parts car and couldn’t give them away so eventually threw them away. Ask chi-town. He’s backdating a later car. Might have fogs.
I still think there is potential in the hood lights. They are on many marques and rally cars.
