RedGTP Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 my front parking are done ! that's just AWESOME ! I LOVE the LED ! lol I will take pic at night it might be too late, but it would be very nice to compare them to a regular light bulb to see how bright they actually are. it is impossible to tell from the photos. humm .. It's too late ... I have no bulb lights on the car... sorry... I will try to find another Cutlass or may-be with my GTP when go out of snow ... !

Venom Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Those strips are definately worth the extra money since you dont have to wire and solder a bunch of small leds a million times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGTP Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 haha ! no problemo ! nest time ... Some new pics !! All it's painted and sealed, I have one side of my backup bar made !.. It's very long ... lol Now .. I most find the flasher source signal, each side... not the pulse, but the 12V continue... maybe in the steering columb..?!? I will check in my Hayne's book... I need to take this 12V continue signal to put in my little circuit I made .... paint : I need one each side... Little video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 that sequential turn signal is freaking awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGTP Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 on the camera .. the frame bit it's not the same frequency of the LED... It look like not "synchronised", but in real it's perfect ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 the point is to compare a pre-mod light to a post mod LED light in the same picture to see how the brightness compares. the problem with many LEDs is they are not as bright as the bulbs they are supposed to replace. This is especially true with cheap LEDs, and I have many salvaged used units to try, and some are so dim they are junk. Yanni, you still have the light bulbs attached to the car? hold up the led light next to a regular bulb and take a picture to compare!

RedGTP Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have the light .. but it's impossible to check because on my tail light... no more room to put the light .. and it's paint in black ... all my lense are painted ... but last night I have tried my front parking .. and it's little bit more bright of stock light ... I think .. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGTP Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 F**K ... I can't make my sequential flasher ... I need 12V continue went my flasher is On ... but the w-body have a flasher relay BEFORE the circuit ... it's impossible to take 12volts continue when I put flasher left or right ... grrrrrr ... It will was only a long flasher light bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Could you not wire it up on a new circuit using the stock signal switch? seems like for the amount of work you have into the project its a small price to pay... that and they look freakin awesome!

RedGTP Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 no I have search 1 hour to find a possibility.. but it's just impossible ...

carkhz316 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm guessing that you still need the flasher for the flashing function for the front turn signals right? Well, just find where the wiring splits after the flasher, for front turns and rear turns, and bypass the flasher with constant power from the turn signal switch with a diode so it doesn't backfeed to the fronts to make them stay on. I hope this makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGTP Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 IT'S DONE !! :cool: youhou ! It's just bad for my sequential flasher .. but .. well ! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was my problem, everything goes in the arm flasher, so impossible to play there to make something, I gave up, at the same time is not a police catcher... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timm Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I know you "gave up", but for future reference... Courtesy of the12volt.com http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page5.asp I think that would have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGTP Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 hoo ! not bad not bad !!..
