cered Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Great job on those, look practically OEM (Aside from the black tape/paint of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Great job on those, look practically OEM (Aside from the black tape/paint of course) Thank you, might have some new light units coming so maybe able to swap the internals. I also need to dim the rings down so will need to research some resistors might add brake light rings and Indicator rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluudy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 they do very cool. Keep up the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I like them, but think the centres could do with darkening a bit more. Didn't realise how chunky the wires were though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glanza_Mike Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The rings do look great mate i might have a go at a facelift set myself at somepoint and try and some black acrylic like you said as i love the toxic ones but cant afford their hefty price tag. Or if you decide you'd like to give it a go then give me a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you decide you'd like to give it a go then give me a PM When I am happy with mine then I will happily give it a go, but will not be fully responsible for any issues like them not being 100% water tight, but will take responsibility for major fu*k ups like burning them and breaking things !

mattdavies Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Got a bit further today, Wired in some resistors to dim them down. Here is a before and after And with the brake lights on : Now I am happy with them, I have ordered some more rings for Brakes and Indicators and have taken delivery of new rear lights for a conversion, thinking all Red. Once I am happy may talk to a Red named person about hobbyist if there is demand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 So they are finished !! I am over the moon, I am not taking them apart again. I have wired them using the original loom and bulb holders that have been adapted. I had to put resistors in the tail to dim them down as they are very bright. I had to put resistors in the indicators to stop them from flashing to quick. After a few nights of researching, splitting and soldering here they are : And off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_bandido Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Sorry to drag up an ancient thread, but does anyone know the required size of LED ring for this? I've just bought a spare pair of lights with a view to doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
