nice dude, they really bring a more modern look to the back end while still keeping the original shape. Thats the best of both worlds, good job. im actually preparing to do a project on my tail lights too. quick question; is it necessary to use the voltage regulator for dimming the brake lights? im just asking cause the tail lights i have on my rx8 are aftermarket led lights that have an adaptor that hooks right into the stock harness, there's no additional drivers or anything. Theres also a seperate harness for the turn signal, reverse light and side markers. When i press on the brake they light up like normal. Do you use one because ur s2000 gives you light errors and hyperflashes without it? thanks!
I have a bulb attached in line so avoid hyper flashing . The voltage regulator is just so I can have a low brightness red running light and a full voltage brake light . If you try other ways of dimming , you lose a lot of energy while it is used as a duller running light . This is usually dissipated by heat . The method of using a Buck converter loses less energy ( not much heat either ). I’ve bought red tint to tint the whole tail light but haven’t yet done it . Best of luck with your project .
The items I used are like these ( I prefer the ones with three blue pot adjusters as one controls voltage output and one controls current limiting . The middle pot I think it to do with battery charging circuits . www.ebay.com.au/itm/322613826308?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=0HkzUFqgS06&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=PgJMlECQRru&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY The cob you just search angel eyes cob halo on eBay and work out the sizing you need for the effect you want .
Try watching this at about 5.43 and it shows how I connected a buck converter originally that controlled both rear strip leds . If you pause the video now and then , you should be able to see how I wired it . You’ll notice it is the same buck converter . ua-cam.com/video/N_205sQD6XE/v-deo.html

🙃 noice
very nice, love how they turned out 🤩
Thanks. They look pretty spectacular at night time.
@@Dentinvent I bet 😉
Great Video!!! Can you post a link to the COB lights an the Converts?
Just clarifying , you want a link to where I bought the cob ring lights and not sure what you mean about the “converts “
@@Dentinvent sorry meant convertors. Basically all the items needed for the last modification you did with the COB LEDs.

@@Dentinvent thank you! Great video it was rally helpful!!! Did you also do a how to install video of the convertor?

Are the lights for sale?
Rocky,
I’d hate to sell them as they took so long to make but I’m sure you could do it yourself . Just follow the video and it’s easy .
