Pretty affordable items, too. I've bookmarked it, as I could use the festoon bulbs and also front indicator "bulbs"... or should I say units? Particularly useful will be the units with radial LEDs around the edges, so that you can see them from oblique angles. Normally LED units are only clearly visible straight-on.</b></i></div> <div><i><b><br></b></i></div> <div><i><b>I Googled up "piranha led light" and the first site to come up was a truck-accessory outfit. They had Piranhas but made no mention of white 4" units... but my autoelectrician tells me they are made. But some of the other manufacturers make equivalent units in white... I'm just thinking of how to incorporate them into a back panel under the tailgate. They come either as push-ins with a push-in grommet or with mounting flanges. I guess they could be mounted from WITHIN a custom black rear plastic panel so that the flanges are out of sight and the lights fit flush with the panel. I'll have to figure this out, probably with the help of a plastics outfit.</b></i></div> <div><i><b><br></b></i></div> <div><i><b>I was thinking that a set of orange sidemarkers set-up as indicator relays would be neat, one set on the B-pillars and one set inside the rear vents. The more there are, the more likely your indicating is to be seen.</b></i></div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div>Andrew Grebneff<x-tab> </x-tab><br> Dunedin<br> New Zealand<br> Fossil preparator<br> <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz><br> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut</div> </body> </html> |
