This is totally different, primarily due to the circut. i'm not going any further with this.

one bulb is not like one led. one led is a single source unit. one bulb can have multiple inputs (and does) which keeps the wires from becoming electrically integrated, and no diodes are going to help you because you will not be able to isolate the wires without changing the electrical properties and screw up everything you just did in the first place by dropping .6 volt from the line, restricting both wires from their potential and causing you to recalculate everything again, provided you are lucky enough to do it at all.

any ideas on how these would be applied to a IS300 tail Brian...?


I know some guys have opened these up & painted them to look like the JDM spec black tails....that run a cool 4-500 bux!!! but i am thinking one of these boards might look **** in the IS300 red tail light lens... but i am thinking inside tah what 5-6 inch round lense any ideas for a pattern that would look nice...?

i LOVE the look of LED tails o nthe newer cars & would really like ot hook my car up with a custom set of these... but i just need some help or ideas on a coo llooking design that would work inside that lens




hep a brudda out folks...

Is this design feasible? How much would it cost to do something like this:

Yikes. Honestly i wouldn't try to build that during a GB. it would take quite some time to build, IF i could get it right.

I have a question. Does one board have two functions for example brake light and parking lights? or do you need a seperate board for braking and another for parking? Also how long would these LED's last?
