For late model fogs would you do a rectangular board like you did for your brake light boards? (which I have and love, BTW.) Would you be able to fit more LEDs based on the layout?
The board for the late model rectangular fogs would have a board with rectangular shape. Not sure about adding any more LEDs as the round fogs would have mainly because of power dissipation and heat removal. I would try to keep the overall power dissipation to about 8W or 1W per LED. The LEDs would be backed by a heat sink and the drive circuitry would need to fit around the heat sink.
On the headlight I designed for the 356 owner, I was burning about 20W with 19 LEDs. At room temperature I measured PCB temps approaching 120C or about 100C above ambient. This was too much so I lowered the current in the LEDs and brought the temperature down to less than 100C.
The 19 LEDs running about 275mA were quite bright and were brighter than the headlight on my road car.
The goal with these fog lights would be to run the LEDs at 350mA which will be quite bright.
