Not another Raptor Retrofit...

But what could it be this time?







I'm not going to say anything. It's up to you guys to guess. The only hint I'll give is there are two colors pictured.

LumiLEDs aren't bright enough for DRLs. I plan to tackle that project with some 100lm Rebels. Keep going, guys

Guess of front turn signal or aux warning indicators
- Seem to recall you posted your county does not allow red for POV ??

The LED part number is for Amber, so that limits the usage
- unless you are going hick pimp with amber interior accent illumination

Halverso_99, the bread boards can be cut down to size fairly easy once the layout is done.

I didn't realize, but the fact that I said two color and posted a picture of all those boards really leads on to emergency lights. But you are correct- no lights for us.

I was waiting for someone to do this. +1 to you.

I will have some more pictures here shortly, still need to decide the LED layout and get some resistors and a couple voltage regulators on their way

Ah heck with it

Turn signals for two motorcycles as xmas gifts. My dad has a 92 FLHTC with two 3" amber up front and two 3" amber in the rear and they draw so much power everything dims when he uses them, so hes wanted LEDs for the longest time. I figure these would be MUCH better than those crappy PnP bulbs out of the Harley catalog. My mom has an 06 Honda Shadow 750 with two 2" amber in the front and two 2" red in the rear, so I figure 15x each on the Harley, and then 10 each on the front of the Honda and 10 red-orange on the rear. They are on-off only, so no need for PWM'ing, just voltage regulation and standard resistors to keep the current appropriate for 70mA
