Pics of new style LED taillight and turn signals
Well, I finally got around to getting some comparson pics of the new style LED taillights I made from scratch.
You can view them in my locker http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/user.php?mohrds|27419 A couple of points. Each of the four Stop/Tail light panels contains 78 LEDs Yes I know there are three dead LEDs on the Driver's side iner and outer light panels. They will be fixed. Each turn signal contains 20 LEDs The Center LED panel was completly rebuilt using 56 new high-flux LEDs, new resistors and new diodes. The side markers (which I forgot to take photos of) contain 3 LEDs. Cost of components (minus circuit boards) is $262 plus shipping. Building the panels using stock Radio shack perforated breadboard was a total pain in the butt. I designed a new dual sided style to be custom fabricated, but it adds about $150 onto the cost. Attached are the parts list and board schematic in Acrobat format. Doug

If you start selling them, and I come across some money, I would buy some. You should make a reverse light led too.

So I should be able to start taking orders about mid 22nd century Seriously, I can't imagine anyone on this board shelling out $500-600 for this conversion. The next set I will do for the 5 speed, I will record step by step photos and instructions along with parts sources for anyone who wants to do it themselves. Doug

The reverse light was planned and was prototyped using the old CMHSL LEDs, but to buy enough clear LEDs to equal the light output of stock 1156 bulbs would be too expensive. Each backup light would need 182 LEDs in it and instead of being 50-60 cents each like the yellow and red cost, the clears are $2.04 each Clear LEDs are still outrageously pricey.

Those look great. To bad they are so expensive, or cheaper to put together.

Those will really confuse people who don't know what the SVX is. I'm sure w/ those they will think that the car is a new release.
Great work, those look very very nice. |

Ultra spiffy.
Incidentally, what is the output of those LEDs? I'm guessing they look a bit more red in person, too... |
