Raptor's LED Taillight Retrofit
and the whole lens glows for the "blinker" and can be seen from the side, even though the side facing blinkers are not on any Range Rover, or 10+ LR product
That being said........... I was gonna keep quiet about this but since i like making raptor my bitch, here's what ive been working on in my spare time lately.....

Added another pocket between the brake and reverse light to allow for an incandescent running light

They're not going to be on most vehicles. FMVSS section 108 dictates that running lights (not blinkers) must face 90* from the centerline of the vehicle. Looking at some google images, every 2010 Range Rover taillight has either a strip of LEDs conforming to the curvature of the tails or a split in the rear facing running lights to allow bleeding (similar to our housings)
it will be finished off better, same process i used on my tail lights, it looks rough when its in the middle stages.....

The PWM/Vreg has arrived- I will begin assembly of it tomorrow (with plenty of pics). I'm still waiting for the LEDs to arrive. They're still in Texas after four days.
im going to see about stripping the vht off of my factory tails. if i can do so and make the lense look decent enought to be professionaly smoked, i might be sending them to you to make some if all go wells on your project. goodluck btw.
I'm back from my girlfriends house. It's time to get started
PWM:

Backside:

Vreg and potentiometer:

Now I will begin soldering. Stay tuned.
Starting out, just getting the first few resistors in place:


And some more:

A few minutes later:


Install the 555IC and power up my 12vDC test station:

And the two output LEDs confirm sucess:



As soon as those LEDs get here we can begin the final process.

This is coming from an ex lead project designer from Philips, and hes quoting minimum requirements for housing designs. My lights comply with all of the above.
