my suggestion/hopes would be for something far more aventador inspired!

Because they're Project F's and I wanted to keep them somewhat close to the original design.

I'm working on another set but they won't be done for a while.

Thanks mate

:lol:
Made up the two smaller lenses today.

How did you make them?

Cut a strip of 1.5mm acrylic 7mm wide. Then heated it up and formed it around the leds.

Then cut out a disc and bond them together with acetone.

Sprayed them with a translucent red paint.

Yeah, it is a nice change from your f**ken mate manual conversion over there...

Finished off the lenses. Just need to mount everything properly, finish up the outer lenses and they're good to go.

Redesigned (from my original design 2 years ago) and made the PWM dimmers/voltage regulator.



The way it works is when parkers go on the circuit rapidly flashes the outer rings of leds on and off (not visible to naked eye) to dim them.

The brightness can be adjusted by the trim pot.

When brakes are applied, the PWM is bypassed and all LEDs go to maximum brightness, which is set by the resistors on each string of LEDs

Indicators and reverse lights are just run through voltage regulators with no dimming.

This board will go inline with the stock wiring. I will have to add another plug after the board so the loom can be removed as the board will not fit through the hole in the chassis.

Dimmers/drivers wired up.

Speechless. Wish I had your brain for electronics.

You eat mice brains, Phil?

Sanded and polished the other lens.

Sikaflexed the LED discs to the housing, mounted them up to FTOwnage' car and sealed the lenses on.

Keen to see pics when they're installed and on!

Wow looks gerat!

I was never a fan of these lights and wasn't expecting a result I would like, but I was wrong. They definitely look good on the car. Great work, take some vids of them working for us please

Loving the number plate.. Please.. Let me know when you get tired of it!

It's not my car.[emoji38]And I've got the reverse plates on mine. 97-GPVR
