Talking I've done it again... LUXEON madness!

I've finally done it! I've created my new 4 Luxeon + 1 LED bulbs for the signals and 3 Luxeon white back-up lights.

I got curious so I installed the white back-up lights as my turnsignals. I don't recall anyone doing this yet, so I'll be the first to do it!

My camera went nuts taking these pictures. In person, it's just awesome! (Of course... I won't be leaving these bulbs in my headlights).

Gosh... I wish I left these bulbs in. Here's the pix with Evo-R reflectors and Bat's smoked overlay.

Here's a much more accurate picture of the lights.

Here's my 4Luxeon + 1 LED amber turnsignal bulb (these are permanent). I have replaced my old 1Luxeon + 6LED design with this one. These will replace all of my turnsignal bulbs.

so the +1 is 5mm or what... howd you get 20mA current for it, gets tight to fit 2 sets of resistors in there no?

lookin good though. why only 3 for the backup lights?

How is the light output for the backup lights? Aside for just a whiter look, I'm looking to throw a tad bit more light behind me when backing up.

BTW, the turn signals look amazing!

I'd like more too! That's why I made them. The angle of the bulbs are a bit different, which is why the OEMs look much brighter.

So far it looks great! I'll test them in real world situation sometime whenever I go out at night.... :-/ No, really... i need to get out more often. I heard a lot of fart pipes not to far from my home so I decided to stay in before someone pulls a stunt and screws up my car.

I'd get them back up lights.
