RedGTP Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I have in mind to make his on my cutlass... When all know, originally .. white band in the back are my lights 'backup' and only the center work .. and my brake/flash are in my red lights on each side ... I had this idea ... called me what you think and what you like best:) normaly closed little sequence: longue sequence: noted that the speed is not representative is the slowest I could do in gif ... I can do electronically what I want .. or almost! lol Quote
Captain Ficho Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I think that's a great idea but I don't like the yellow color very much. I think red would look better, because it matches the tail lamps. Quote
jake91 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 that is awesome and i like the second the best Quote
RedGTP Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Posted January 7, 2009 I think that's a great idea but I don't like the yellow color very much. I think red would look better, because it matches the tail lamps. I will make it in red Quote
z34mightymachine Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Very Nice. Red will look much better. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Cool idea, I had that idea before, even thought about extending the sequence into the main taillight since amber LEDs still show up amber through the red lens. I'm too lazy to ever do anything about my ideas though. I would go with amber. I hate red blinkers. There's a reason amber blinkers are mandated in Europe and many other countries, because red ones suck. Quote
pwmin Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 i rly could care less about red like Shaun does. I think it looks a lot better unless it's on an orange car. i'd go for the long sequence. hope you do this. Quote
RedGTP Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Posted January 7, 2009 this week end I will go at my stored garage and unbolt my tails light and I will check this with test:D Quote
Scottster Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Hurry and do it before the new Shelby Mustang comes out, otherwise you'll be a copy cat. I was following a prototype in Detroit the other day, and it had the LED taillamps sequencing a'la orginal Shelby Mustang with T-bird lights. I had sequential taillights on the Cadillac STS I began driving with...got em from these guys, http://www.webelectricproducts.com/ Quote
RedGTP Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Posted January 8, 2009 it' svery easy to make .. 140$ it'S very expensive ! lol Quote
alphagtp Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I say do it red, and as far as speed goes, I would think that something right in the middle of those two that you posted Quote
jerry455 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 have the sequential on our fiero's, they look great. we have had them on our car's for about 3 years now. they are from web electric. go on their site to see other cars with sequential lights. Quote
old442man Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Maybe you could use the processor out of one of these. I sell something similar in my store for like 40-50 $'s. Otherwise maybe one would fit in between your trunk and the reverse lights? http://www.pickupspecialties.com/LED_light_bar/fire_and_ice_led_tailgate_bar.htm Quote
RedGTP Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Posted January 9, 2009 no thanks ! I had studied in electronic.. I will make my own sequential for under 10$ ! Quote
old442man Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Well that's good! I would have no idea where to even begin to start that! Quote
mra32 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 This is cheap! http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/AEC/LED-CHASER-KIT/-/1.html the only thing is you'd want to set up the brake light wire to a relay to activate the led and power the led's with a seperate battery (since it runs on 3-9 volts) Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 This is cheap! http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/AEC/LED-CHASER-KIT/-/1.html the only thing is you'd want to set up the brake light wire to a relay to activate the led and power the led's with a seperate battery (since it runs on 3-9 volts) I don't think that kit would work too well. The 4017 chip on it won't sink enough current to run the kind of high power LEDs you'd need for automotive use. Also, instead of using a separate power source, you'd just need a 9V voltage regulator. If you wanted to use that kit as a base, best thing to do would probably be to use the 4017 chip to drive transistors which in turn would drive the LEDs with sufficient current. MOSFETs would probably be the most efficient since they have a very low On resistance. Quote
