do u remember what ebay user you bought them off of??

 

http://myworld.ebay.com/led-world2007/

That's the link to his store, or look up his user name, led-world2007. If you find something you like, bid on it, then email him if you want to add more stuff. This way he can hook you up, he combines shipping and gives a little discount the more you order.

 

now do we gotta go with 3mm LED's or can we do 5mm LED's?? i would assume the 5mm would be brighter right?

does it really make a difference??

dude im pumped! im doin this lol

 

siick

 

You can try 5mm but I think that would be too big to fit in the little diamond shaped design on the fog light cover. Have you started yet? I wanna see what you guys can come up with.

 

nah i havent started yet, was kinda worried if i got the 5mm it wouldnt work so i was waiting for an answer lol... but i'll get to ordering them tonight and hopefully get them in and done by the middle of next month

 

Cool, good luck! What colors and design are you going with?

 

^eh your profile picture..

 

How do you wire it up to your car?

 

It's the king of pop, what, u don't like him??!?? LOL!

 

Check my pictures again, the first couple show how all the positives from the LED's are sodered together and all the negatives are soldered together. After all the wires are soldered, I soldered on 2 additional positive wires and 2 negatives wires, respectively. The reason I have 2 leads is one set of positive and negative is going to a toggle switch to put them on and off whenever I want, and the second set is going to a strobe controller that is on another toggle switch.

 

Sounds good I might try that.

 

djrza can you tell me more about the strobe controller. Where you got it, how it looks, and possibly a video?

 

and did you finish the project?

 

I just ordered 60 of those 3mm led in yellow from the same seller. I'll post pictures as soon as I finish. Oh and I paid 24 dollars for 60.

 

That's the strobe controller I got right now, I still need to build it though. It is an electronic kit that can be purchased and you have to put it together. The guy who sells these is some Ph.D engineer and is a teacher, and sells these kits on his website as learning tools. He said that instead of soldering the 2 LED's shown in the picture to the board, solder in 2 wires one for positive and one for negative on each side and wire them to my fog lights. Apparently it will be able to handle 25 LED's on each side. Once I get time to build it and hook it up I'll let you know. I'm a little skeptical that this will actually work because it's tiny, about 1"X1". If it doesn't, there are other strobe controllers you can purchase for fairly cheap that have different flash patterns and what not.

 

Cool, good deal huh??!

 

i was also thinking about doing this....looks real nice!
did u used waterproof bulb and housing? and what kind?

thanks

 

Well, each LED is in a plastic housing already, that's how they come, and the wiring is heatshrinked and surrounded by hot glue, so no issues there. I have been through a lot of rain and car washes and everything is all good.

 

It's an awesome deal. Can't wait to get started!
