LED there be light!
Excuse the corny title, but I'm super chuffed to get them all lit up.
Took a while, but I solved the shorts. My modifications to the LED screw holes caused some shorts...
This is with all LEDs connected in series for testing with the 220v power supply:
et voila...
I've had a couple of 12mpg tanks.
I average about 15 (70% city) over the last 25 tanks.
My best ever was about 20 - 100% freeway.

All stock. It's due for a service, so maybe it's just in need of some fresh fluids
Apparently the lightbar drops mpg a little, but...
I found today that the LEDs actually all work - it was my dodgy soldering that stopped some from lighting up.
I rewired them to three-in-series (4 strings of three LEDs) and I'm still struggling with shorts when the LEDs are screwed down. The star shaped circuit board they are on is aluminium...
Thanks Birdman.
I mad a torch with one of these LEDs and it's incredibly bright! I can't wait to see what 12 look like :icon_twisted:
I'm also gonna prototype a projector LED light for a possible headlight repalcement
Part 2
I had to make a second modification to the optics holders to make space for the wires when when the LEDS are wired up. I made a hole in opposite ends of the optics (the grey one between the heatsinks)
You can also see some pieces of wire I cut for connecting up the LEDs
Wiring...
Riiight, I've been planning this build for ages now and I finally got all the bits together that I need. (I won't mention that someone who will remain nameless, threw away the first batch of LEDs I ordered)
We've all seen those ridiculously over-priced LED light bars...
Thanks for the heads up re. the adapters.
The shop I'm gonna buy the speakers from sells adapters for R160 ($20ish) a pair.
I'd like to get Infinities, but they're too pricey here in SA. My next choice was JBL or Alpine which I've used previously and liked, but I've found a cheaper brand which...
Did the 6.5" pioneers fit fine in the front and rear? I heard you'd need an adapter because the oem speakers are 6. 75"
I'm about buy F&R splits and install an amp and sub I've had in a cupboard for a while. Hopefully i won't need an adapter...
oh wait - it was http://www.hidplanet.com/forums
in particular their HOW-TO section.
Here's a Jeep GC with an HID retrofit. Granted, it looks porno, but it's the right way to do it
