Blue LEDs.

Hello people.
Just finished a little project on the 172..
I'm sorry for the danish website. But i dont have my pics anywhere else.

Just want your honest opinion folks.

 

[MrMark]

pimped!

 

[AlexG]

Bet it took some work that! Not bad!

 

[Hutchie]

obviously you are using LED's but how are they wired up, do they go through some main current reducer or something??? or straight to batt 12v???

 

[Kenned4200]

Oh. It took about 4 days of nonstop work.
But it turned out better than i hoped for..

 

[Kenned4200]

They are paralel connected. And there is a resistance on 480 ohm on each led.
Sorry about the english spelling, and i hope i understood your question correctly.

so with them all connected in parrallel you have only one +12v and one -0v

ohh and how many you have in parrallel???

Correct.

And there is 78 in the roof piece.

Correct.

where did you get your led's

gotta think where i can hide loads of them

Bought them on a danish website called ecolight.dk

Sry, but dont understand the second line?

LED's in bulk....in the UK.

They are ace for stuff like that.
do a discount for the more you buy.
They do 12v ones too so you don't need separate resistors!

 

[Tigger]

Fair play for the effort in that!

I only bought them seperate because i could save about 70 £..
You just have to "weld" (sry, dont now the english word for this) a resistor on to the LED, and then "weld" (again, sry about the english) the two wires on the LED. Takes about 5 minutes. And if you have alot of time, its worth it.

Blimey! bet that took you abit of time and concentration!

top marks for effort!

 

[colossuss]

That's an impressive job!

 

[caister]

Not so keen on the roof bit myself but the rest of it looks quite good. 10/10 for effort.

 

[PinkoCommie]

Nice.

I've had a similar idea myself (not as far as the pimp renault logo), but using tri-colour LED's and something like this: http://www.bigclive.com/rgbcont.htm driving them.

Then you can choose whatever colour you like at the click of a button.

edit: Also, you must have some serios patience to wire up all those LED's it's like checking Xmas lights but 10 times worse

Something i never seen before, and anything new in this game takes some imagination. certainly well executed.

 

[Kenned4200]

Thank you so much for your comments.

 

[Nick_P]

Good work, a bit lairy for me, but good good (Y)

bit much for me, I do like the behind the speaker grill lights though!
