Head Lights

[ackovski]

Hi there all,
I'm quite new here, just bought my Puma a month ago.
I thought to share something I do and see your reaction...
BTW the night pics are too bright, the lights are not that bright in real... it's my poor camera having too much light...

Welcome to the site

That's quite a number of LEDs!

 

[1-pd]

good idea but too may leds so a bit OTT

 

[grayfox]

Well for safety sake people will definitely see you coming!

You slightly overdid it, if I may say so….. :wink:

I like using LEDs with the nice crisp light they give.

I do like your idea, but I think there is too many LEDs. But if you like it, then it's good! :lol:

I had a small problem... the left side stopped working... the fuse was ok, the light were ok, but still no lights...
Then I discovered that there were two small resistors on the wire for the parking light bulbs inside the plastic cover, that died when I overloaded them with the diodes. In fact, the diode strips look too bright at the photos that are taken at night because of my crappy phone camera that shoots VERY bad. They are much less bright than the ones you see on the new cars... In fact I made them even brighter than that by removing the resistors... I will record a video so you can see how it looks. I might compare it with some factory made headlights.

Scroll to the 30th second... that is the real glow of the lights...

 

[Rob Dublin]

I like the idea, maybe not so many tho. The Xmas Coca Cola trucks come to mind.... :lol:

(really don't mean that as an insult, nice work)

better design than some OEM ones
