LED Brake lights

[jaq03]

Just looked this spreadsheet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Hn7Wv1L2HTSTZaOXF0VU9UYkE/view

First one is "rear led conv"

PWM_ANSTEUERUNG_SL_RE_HI ALSZ wert_01 flickering of taillight / 6V issue this gives 12v to the tail lights without further modications. NCSexpert

Could it be so simple?

This is simple? :?

Had another thought - you could use a 12v led lamp (change all 4) and do the full circle brake mod and see if this works. regards

I've just done the full circle brake mod - if it does increase the voltage to both bulbs then surely I can test just using one/two LED, one side at a time?
Your thoughts please. thanks.

testing photo upload :wink:

This is rear Running lights after Brake mod [but not yet LED} ... p.s. the number plate lights are LED


This is front running [side] LED lights



Cool or what?

I bought led light and tested them as side indicators, worked perfectly.
I tested them as parking light, but they are too bright, so I have to buy new less bright ones.

The Full Circle Brake modification does increase the voltage

Before, average just over 5v
After, average just under 10v

I have passed this info on

haha i know... but i don't want to go and splash out on expensive ones if they do exactly the same, has anybody got a link to decent ones they have used for a while and don't suffer from dieing/flashing leds??
