Yes I have an idea on cost, but this design won't be for sale, the older design of my car will be - (I've got to keep something unique on my car!)

heckler Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Right, here we go... I've had the design done since Jan this year, i've just been busy doing other stuff. All my designs are done on a program called PCB Wizzard. The designs are then printed onto "Press n' Peel" transfer paper, inturn this is ironed (yes, ironed) on to the Copper Board. The first pics of the write up are of the designs transfered onto the copper board http://www.internetwork.org.uk/lights/Copper1.JPG http://www.internetwork.org.uk/lights/Copper2.JPG Theres 8 circuits in total.

NeoFuture Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 why not just buy the led bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 why not just buy the led bulbs you wont get the same affect, with LED bulbs you'll still be stuck with the coloured lenses. With these they can be any colour you waant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 no your not, you can get coloured LED replacements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 no your not, you can get coloured LED replacements so, you'll have a little LED bulb with no lense over it? look really odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
