As for the visors, they are premade SMD strips, very thin with leds soldered on. The strips were directly soldered to the original socket. Ill take a pic when i remove the plastic. The visors are prob very unreliable/most likely to burn out but i never use them so its just for kicks

The others are uber bright and use drivers so im all set

BTW blue is a terrible way to go, try to avoid it if you can. I never understood people who make their whole interior hyper blue, all unevenly lit, hotspots in the cluster. It looks terrible in the after pics IMO. Unless its done right with the proper leds and controllers, its not worth doing.

My next project are the under mirror courtesy lights, i found a way to hide them in nicely, practicality isnt really there hence the delay for those.

I looked into cheaper leds but then they would probably burn out so theres no point. I may just work on a superflux alternative board that would be significant cheaper in parts. It may Fill in the area better too

Lumileds Superflux are cheaper as an led, still reliable, do not need controllers (just voltage regulators LM317). I may just sell the boards with everything attached for the superflux and people can pop them in.

Superflux would be around 35$ for everything for both sides with 10-15 leds per side and regulators included.

This is what an Sflux board looks like, this is a chinese one but the one i would make would be handmade with lumileds leds that will not burn out. It will be shaped for the Z light housing. I may still be able to fit a diffuser lens like the luxeon, the lenses work on all types of leds.



Ill do some bench tests this weekend with the Sflux and update this thread
