ok so far i have 2 LEd light into the reflector plate but the problem is that its only a spot any ideas onto getting it to spread

 

Reflector plate?

Go back to a bulb Problem solved.

 

diffuser lens, fiber optics...

 

well how can a bulb fit into the small space of the reflector plate?? ill post pics of what i have constructed

 

mount it like our tail lights bulbs are mounted...

 

You have me a bit lost here. Where exactly is the light you are trying to replace?

 

im not replacing a light i actually added 2 blue led's into the reflector plate

 

relflector plate.......? if you are talking about the trunk 'finisher' piece...then we can work with you....otherwise, you are speaking antarctican.

 

lol sorry thats what i was hearing it called most of the time
yes i mean that

 

Dont get the "laser" LEDs, there are normal ones that have a decent spread... but by design all LED bulbs will shine on spot.

What exactly is the purpose of this mutilation? There is very little momentum to be gained from shooting photons out the rear, so dont count on seeing any extra acceleration. If you give me the center frequency and lumen rating I'll calculate it for you.

 

well i dont know all that but what im goin to do now since i figuered out something i wired it to the higher stop lamp so that when i press the break itll shine maxima in blue

 

The cops will love that.

 

will red do?

 

red would be one of your only legal options.... but blue, white (unless only in reverse), yellow (unless with blinker) and orange are illegal....unless it's different in your state.

 

hmmm Im using white lights on my corners... and to me its kinda blue from my smoked corners. Im thinking of switching to Amber/Orange LED's in my corners.
You know how they say, "She looked good, until she opened her mouth" lmao, thats what i say about my car... "It looked good until I turn on my lights" ahah

 

i was talking only about whats not allowed in the rear.....the only visible colors allowed in the rear are red (full-time), amber* (signals), and white (reverse only)

the front you can have white anywhere, amber* turn signals and/or running/parking lights, but TECHNICALLY no red, blue, green, etc.....but you typically wont get in trouble for it without breaking the law in some other way first.

I ran red corners for almost 2 years before i was pulled over for no muffler, and they mentioned the red corners.....but i had been pulled over with them before and never got told anything about them.



(I'm no expert, but this is the way i understand it all....i had a talk with a cop friend of mine about a week ago about my interior lights, and he explained it all to me in a nutshell.)

 

...and then, when they pull you over, you'd be basically shining it in their faces

 

well ill throw it in park lol but ok ill find some red and post some pics too see if you guys like

 

lmfao i'll bet they will

 

So where are they mang??

 

havent gotten around to buy the red only have pics of the blues

 

bump? pics?

 

LEDs don't take all that much power. I guess you could just take a whole bunch of them, drill a bunch of holes through the black plastick back of the reflector plate, and stick all those LEDs into them. Kind of like the break and back lights on most of the newer cars. If you don't spread em too much, you should get a nice diffusion that will take up the whole plate. I've seem some other car brands have that, so it can't be illegal.

LMAO, ironic

 

sorry moneys been a little tight a i started working at a body shop but i need a better direction where to buy red LEDS

 

I've done many LED projects of all types. The shopping choices depend on what brightness and diameter you're going for, I could point you in the right direction when you eventually continue your project.

 

Hey, why do it by the book, when you can ghettofy it?
