LED Taillight **updated with WTB list**

[rprata]

Count me in for 1.  I've already e-mailed you off-line, before I saw this sticky post... however, count me in for 1.  LMK how/when to pay.  Thanks.

[JeffD]

To those of you whom I have contacted, I am going to start selling to those people who are going to buy them if I do not get a response.  I have notified more than half of the people on the list and have only gotten 6 responses.  So after (wednesday) I am going to disregard the list (due to the no responses) and sell them.

count me in on my 93

So will these boards fit in an R1 taillight or are they just for the stock GS....?

[Frost]

wow...this thread is back from the graves...

[scottpA_GS]

Hey the link is dead !??

I wanna see

[My Name Is Dave]

Can someone possibly post a picture of them? There is one earlier in the thread, but it's a dead link.

Pablo's site has a 'Installing LED's in stock taillight' page:

I second the "back from the grave".


I designed a second set of LED taillights, but dont have the $$ or time to Manufacture them.  

I'll be graduating college in 2 months and getting a real job so I might be able to get some more out in a little bit.  I got lucky with parts for the first set but for the second set I'm looking at getting boards fabricated in Thailand (or somewhere) and have to order a hundred or so.  This is why I haven't "sold" any yet.



the prototype can be found here.

and disregard the part about sending an email if you want one and Ill get them built.  I really dont have time.  I've got 4 summer classes including a graduate class so I'm a little busy.

I know you're busy, but whenever you get around to them again, I'm interested They look good!
Good luck with school in the meantime!

I came back last week from a trip to NH, and on the way back my tail light went out  Probably the week of wet and moisture did a job to it (no running light, no brake light) Before then, the LED tail lights were great!

I'll see what I can do for troubleshooting if I have some spare time.

Until then, I was smart and did not chop off the stock bulb sockets, so I can plug those in

[JeffD]

Was it one I made?    If it is I would suggest checking the wiring to the taillight (where you spliced it)  because the circuit is so simple I dont see how the whole thing could fail.  Since both Running and brake went out I would check the ground wire.  It might have also gotten pulled out of where I soldered it to the board.  And you could probably drop this thing in a bucket of water and it'll still work. (no I haven't tried)  Maybe later

Let me know!
Thanks,

I'll go do that!  The stock wiring harness checked out all the way to the stock plug for the tail lights.  Considering how I rode about 25 or so miles over dirt roads over my trip, the ground wire could have worked its way loose (ground wire was my suspicion, too).  I didn't have time to check the circuit board at my friend's house.  What's the running and brake light voltages again?

Your LED lights work great, BTW

[JeffD]

dont go over 14.5v.

13v would be best.

these are pretty sweet!

but it figures that i would miss the boat by 4 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

#@$%*! me 

sooooo, does anyone out there have any of these they want to part with???

[MrDan]

Wow - this was a shock to pop in the old inbox.

yeah, i seem to impress myself a lot these days, still not very computer savvy though.   

so anywho... nobody wants to part with one?

BTW is JeffD still around or he long gone?
