anyone ever modify the 3rd brake light? since the bar is about 24" and only 5" of it is lit, i was thinking of modifying them........good idea?

 

There's a DIY on here somewhere, check out the Tech section under Features and as always...

i just started with my modifications today, i got a circuit board made to about 17" and had 5mm LEDS installed side to side. should be getting that array monday morning. i got the light apart, ill post pix when im done. the DIY looked harder than what im doing. seems like they use the stock 3 arrays and placed them together....kind of messy, im thinking ...more simple and clean.....

 

its been done and done and done again lol...

moved to Aero

we use the same arrays as the stock one to ensure the perfect even brightness and not hassle about the wiring involved.

other methods we have tried and seen do not have the even brightness or even if so.. not as bright as what you start out with with the stock array.

also... 5mm leds are very "spotlightish" and even if you file down the tip to make it flat... the brightness will not look exactly the same as the snapleds on the stock array.

the old diy that ed had first posted over a year ago with 5mm leds were a crap design he threw and tossed aside. i gave him a push when i told him the stock arrays were available to purchase.

it's simple to diy with the kits we provide.. and it's pretty simple.. and clean.

you make it as clean as you want it. add spices for your own taste.

 

Saw it in person at ScionNight III and looks perfect... like it should have from the factory....

^ Those guys have a great setup!

^ Someone said that already... Anyways... Golly...

 

i see, that would have helped, anyways i already finished the array and looks pretty damn good, not spotty at all! ill take pictures wed. as far as brightness, looks pretty bright to me......

 

Hey thought some people might want to check out the 3rd breake light on my tc it lights up full when brakes are applied but when right blinker is on the right side of the 3rd lights up same with the left. heres my site on cardomain and if u want a movie of it in action let me know. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2442318/1

 

Cool concept... LeD Headz should pic up that design and incorporate it as an option... Nifty.

 

not to bash on the design, but isnt that kinda spotty?

 

I think it looks cool spotted like that

 

I do like the concept of the signals in it though... take the LED Headz clean design, with incorporating the signals..
