Kev.O Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 After weeks of soldering and drilling MDF I've finally got round to completing my rear light cluster. Thanks to the members who sold me there old ones. I've done a full L.E.D conversion on them and will take some photo's tomorrow when the flash doesn't automatically come on! I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but they look great and so much better in the flesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 I've seen some similar looking ones on a black one and it looked odd. BTW the reflectors can hardly be seen without the aid of the flash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Looking good Kev I know Kev has spent a lot of time and effort on this build, looks like all that hard graft has paid off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Looks very good. How long did it take you out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well I done it over a about two months as it take a while to source all the clusters. Each individual lens took about 3 hours of soldering, plus about an hour to cut out a template of paper then cut it out of MDF. I think that if I was to work on it 9-5 then I think about a week!!

Kev.O Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 can you get any night shots id like to see what they look like Will do mate. I have to read the instruction manual on the camera first so I can disable the automatic flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Are the LED's all evenly placed? In the photos they seem to be pretty unaccurate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Nice one fella - personally, not my taste - but hey. I'd be amazed to see if they'd pass an MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 they're evenly placed, trust me, I spent hours marking and drillin the holes. It probably looks inaccurate due to the fact that I used the reverse lenes which have the lines running through them. As for the MOT I hope so, hopefully there shouldn't be any reason why not, I've been speaking to a local MOT chap and the police and neither seem to think they won't!
