Ok, so I got some of the parts in, let the making begin.

God these pictures don't even show how bright they really are!!! I'm super stoked now. I'm going to save up and build a set for my car's tails.
I made these superflux led's for my front clear turn signals. My cost is around $8 each!! Ouch!

I'm going to hook two of them together for the front turn signals. Total of 16 superflux led's! Superbright!
This gives you an idea how big these will be.
sweet how do they look during the day
took a whole year but i got the 100th post
yet only took a month to get the 200th

hey did you get my PM?

start on them hatch tails already! The red brake lights always seemed dim to me some nice red leds should look real good behind the lens well behind the red difuser part anyway.
did you have to solder each indivually. cause those are much bigger than the board leds i've worked with?? also are you planning on including a load equalizer with the sets or does each board come with their on because i did'nt see it.
thanks and good luck on the project.

Seeking another but only with 5-speed I'm joining the Darkside
89LX or SE-i(yeah right)
I did all of the soldering. This is the first time I've used the superflux leds. What is a load equalizer and any other information would appreciated.
looking good shorty
Looks real good. Once you got everything set im up for a set!!!
I need a set of tails donated before I can start the work.
Inside the housing with just 8 lumileds. I'll be using these 8 because they fit snug in the housing and won't need to be glue or mounted in.
I wish you guys could see these in person!!
Took it dark so you could see the leds.
Usually a wire-wound resistor that makes up for the reduced draw of the LEDs, which stops them from blinking rapidly.

CARDONE SUCKS.
Are those wired in series? How much do they dim with slight voltage changes?

They are in a series without any resisters or anything hooked to a 9 volt battery. I don't know anything really about lumileds.
Here is what I am doing with my front turn signals. I am putting these directly in place of my original bulbs.
http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/115x-xLX3.htm
They are 44 lumens as compared to the high flux led's which convert to 6.25 lumens per unit. These can be purchased for $23 each. They come in white, red and amber and have a viewing angle of 130 degrees.

^$23 is too damn expensive for one.
One is all you need for a turn signal. They are actually brighter than the original bulb
Here is the result. I discovered that the wires to the bulb socket had to be reversed because the led bulb expects pos 12 volts at the center contact but Honda wired these with the negative at the center contact.
Before clearing.
Cleared but with amber bulb
New led bulb
wires reversed
The result
turn signals on
Done

I still have them, i cleaned my pm.
just curious....if i donate you a pair would you send them back with the leds? I can send you a pair of the red/whites or my stock ones.
