please dont mind the "caps" at work i have to use them so my eyes are trained.


WELL HELLO TO ALL, I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR SOME TIME RECEIVING HELP FROM TGO AS I BUILT AND COMPLETED MY LS1 LQ4 4L65E SWAP. SO I AM AN ELECTRONICS/ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND I LOVE TO BUILD SO I DOVE INTO MY TAIL LIGHTS RECENTLY AND CAME UP WITH A HARNESS AND LED LIGHTING KIT WITH 3 BOARDS ON EACH SIDE AND TOTALING OVER 500 LEDS. THIS IS A LOW COST SOLUTION TO WHAT I FOUND ON THE MARKET AND IT LOOKS PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT FOR IT BEING HAND MADE.

NOW I CAN BUILD THIS KIT AND HARNESS FOR AROUND 250 PLUS SHIPPING. THAT WOULD INCLUDE INSTALLATION INTO YOUR HOUSING AND THE SMALL MODIFICATION TO RELOCATE THE REVERSE LIGHT, THE NEW REVERSE LIGHT LENS AND YOUR CHOICE OF 3 STAGES OF RED PAINT AND 3 STAGES OF BLACK PAINT (OPTIONAL) TO THE TAIL LIGHT TO CONVERTED THE LENS ALL RED THE SMOKE THEM. NOW YOU CAN REMOVE CERTAIN OPTIONS OR JUST ADD DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF BOARDS, ITS TOTALLY CUSTOMIZABLE AND YOU WILL HAVE CHOICES OF LED BULBS. I HAVE SOME PICTURES\VIDEO OF A PRELIMINARY BOARDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN MY PROJECT CAR. THESE PICTURES SHOW THE FULL KIT AT THE 250.00 COST. I WILL HAVE MORE INFO ABOUT PRICING PER INDIVIDUAL ITEM.
ALSO TO THE DO IT YOURSELF ER (DIY) I AM RELEASING A TUTORIAL OF HOW TO DO THIS AS MY CONTRIBUTION TO THIS WEBSITE FOR THE HELP I HAVE RECEIVED. THE TUTORIAL WILL ASSUME YOU HAVE SOME BASIC SKILLS AS I WILL NOT GET TO TECHNICAL BUT ITS EASY ENOUGH JUST TIME CONSUMING BECAUSE OF THE LEARNING CURVE IF YOU DO HAVE IT YET.

I NEED AT LEAST 5 MEMBERS TO SIGN ON FOR A GROUP ORDER TO BEGAN THIS IF YOU GUYS THINK THIS IS A GOOD SERVICE.
IF SO I NEED YOU TO SHIP ME A SET OF TAIL LIGHTS AND I CAN GET STARTED.

HERE IS A VIDEO THAT I DID EARLIER THIS SUMMER WHEN I GOT THE CAR REGISTERED AND GOING, THIS IS WHERE I NOTICED THAT MY FIRST PROTOTYPE WAY OF BUILDING DIDN'T WORK, WHAT I WAS DOING IS USING CONDUCTIVE INK FOR TRACES ON THE CIRCUIT BOARDS AND THE INK LITERALLY MELTED AWAY OR CRACKED AND POWDERED UP. SO NOW I USE WIRE AND SOLDER.


IN THIS VIDEO SHOWS NEW BOARDS INSTALLED WITH DIFFERENT STYLE LED. THE FIRST STYLE IN THE FIRST VIDEO WAS PIRANHA LED AND THE NEW STYLE IS BULB



PLEASE EMAIL ME ANY IDEAS CONCERNS ETC.

 

nice car man!!! what stereo you got in that beast? those 5th gen camaro wheels look sweet! what cold air intake system is that you got?where did you get the hid conversion? thanks!

 

I have a KN cold air setup from a silverado. The radio is a pioneer avh-3100dvd, and the HID conversions comes from ebay but you have to get the light housings too, you can't changr the stock bulb

 

thanks! do you happen to know what year silverado its off of? other than that great work!!

 

 

[QUOTE=NINÅ;5672458][CENTER][B][COLOR="NAVY"]You can use PCB Artist software, draw your boards easier than trying to use conductive ink, send the file to a PCB manufacturer, and have real PCB’s sent to you.

The holes will be drilled VIA RapidFire, or equivalent, with even spacing not usually achievable by hand.

I estimate the cost per board to be only a fraction of the price of your kit, even in small quantities.

Good point but I did think of that. For 3 boards its around 50.00. The kit has six boards max. Also the cost of the leds varies based on availablity for large quanities but tipically around 50-60.00. Then the resistors cost about 20-30.00 in bulk, , solder about 10.00, wires for the harness is about25-35.00, loom etc. I use wire for traces so that they are easy to trouble shoot and repair even for a novice. If I buy the protoboards that's brings the cost way down. 6 large boards for 20.00 and some utility blades. So that's why the fancy ones cost so much and don't look as hood for less.
