Snow White, Latest mod: Wifi controlled LED cluster. And pods Options

[The_enD]

Recently I decided to put blinkers in my side mirrors. I think it will look great and make the car appear a bit more up to date, so to speak.
Just a teaser with a random piece of plexi put in place.

Nice! You and I have similar tastes.. ^That is something I've wanted to do that for awhile now.

Thanks, man. I'll be buying LEDs tomorrow and hopefully have finished pictures soon.

That looks so good... Want to make me a set if they work out well

haha Good job man... You really are a jack of all trades here

Bring on the pics when its working - great job for actually following through!!!

I have actually thought about selling sets, if the turn out good. The only problem I see is supplying the mirror casing. I'll have to scour the junkyards.

I'd be in for a set (Unless they are like $500 haha)

looks reaaly good so far !

[The_enD]

Looking for some opinions, guys. I want one nice and long line of non disrupted light, but it seems impossible to achieve with LEDs, there are always spots. I might settle down to a bunch of LEDs pack tightly, like in this test piece bellow.



Edit : Would look something like this(the orange one), I think it will be nice.

That would look nice

if you wanted a continuous light I would be looking into EL strip / wire

[The_enD]

While I am waiting on LEDs to be shipped.

Holy rock chips. 100+



Also shaving the hood spoiler and window washers.

I remember something that was done in the not so distant past for angel eyes. They used to put a led into an acrylic tube. The light would evenly distribute thoughout the tube and appear as if it was nowadays' CCFL halo eyes or whatever you call them.

I remember that the only issue is it working at daytime in a not-so-efficient manner because a single LED is just not bright enough, but that was the case with halos. Give that you're using a thicker strip, you could get it to work. Here's a description:

"[...]

Essentially, they take arcrylic rods that are used with window blinds, heat and bend them, notch them with a dremel, and put a LED in each side.

The biggest issue is the collimation of the beam, and trying to make the end of the rod fit the LED snugly and perfectly clearly. I think someone suggested clear nail polish between the two. You want all of the light from the LED to go into the rod in a roughly narrow pattern. Best to use relatively high-power LEDs (not 5mm 20mA crap, at least get a 4-chip or 5-chip Cree or Superflux)"

Thanks for the info, Syaoran.

I've been doing more shaving and body work recently.

No more spoiler and washers


A lot of rock damage, About 100+




Fiberglass putty




Normal putty


Prepped the roof as well. I'll post pictures of it later. It's mad!


Washed the 16y old dirt


Done




I also converted the climate control unit to all white LED SMD.
