Hello,
I have try the ones of the photo and other longer that have 4 SMD leds.
They are completely rubish !!!!
How have you connected the led's? I think that putting 4 or 5 in serial (depending the led Intensity) you even shouldn't need intensity limit resistors).
Another way is put them in paralel.
Best Regards.

Whatever extra current or lack of current can be taken up or giving out by the resistor as it will act like a buffer. Without a resistor, you will not be able to adjust to a correct current for the LEDs.

Will see how much light they do.
The 68ohm resistance get's extremely hot !!!

both bulbs are not facing at same angles on mine.
gonna get some new lenses (current one melted little bit) and play around this weekend for better shot.
u can really notice the brightness when there isn't much light around.

How did your lenses burn out? Did you have more powerful incandescent bulbs prior?

it worked but was too hot and melted the lenses little bit...
now the lenses are little yellowish and want to change them so LEDs light up brighter...

I love them. Thanks again.

I got my LED's today but one of them isn't working. I sent you a PM Dion.
Other than that the parts look awesome. I can't believe you created these because they look so professional.
PM me your private email address and I will send you the pictures I took of the one that isn't working.

It's working! Yup you guys are right. I swapped it around and it is working great!
The lights look amazing and I wish I had these for the city lights in the front. Maybe you can make them too Dion
