Real exhaust glow.

You better hope that never jams in WOT. If you were driving a hondA, np... but WOT on that 'vette could get hairy!

id love to see your circuit design

Looks like LEDs hooked up to a potentiometer.

yup, it's just that easy.

and as for the pedal jamming up, The double hinge is designed so the hinges won't lock. Worst case scenario, the Pot knob can be moved off of the throttle control simply by kicking the assembly to the left.... lol. So far i've driven with it on for 3 days and the operation is so smooth, I don't even know it's there.

installed?

Pics maybe....but i won't be able to get anything good until the late evening....

thats **** amazing, very nice work

Got the tips installed today. I had a LOT of errands to do so i didn't have time to completely install the LED glow....however I did manage to snap a few test shots.

Final test shots before complete mounting:

Meh, I'll be honest. I think it looks ricy and out of place.

I agree. Not much of a glow either and you can also see the reflection of the l.e.d.s

I am waiting or a video before I make my verdict.

+ finished pics aswell.

I think it is sweet but I am a ricer at heart lol.

i like it... i think it will be clean after complete install

I think it will look better with his tails lit up and his 007 plate lit up as well, since all of that will be red too

Finished pics please

Are those white Superflux 4chip leds in your license frame? im assuming backup lights?

Not reverse lights. I call it the LVL (low visibility lighting) system. In heavy rain/fog, it can be difficult to see my tail lights. I installed these to keep from getting rear ended by idiots who do 80 in a torrential downpour.

Here is the original version that had only 8 LEDs, the new version has 16

that is looking good. keep it up

Lighting installed and tested. The good news is the heatsinks work and the lights will work even with the tips at full temp.

the bad news is they're not that bright so i'm going to try one of the silicone encased LED strips with improved optics to get more output. Stay tuned.

u teasing *******

update?

This is looking cool, curious how it looks once all done.

While testing the new LEd strips, I accidentally shorted the potentiometer. *D'oh*

How do you short out a potentiometer? If I remember your video correctly (can't see it at work) you had an analog pot which is just a variable resistor. How do you manage to short that out?

I wasn't getting any more thn 5.0v output from it at any given point so i was testing from the LED back to see if there was a partial short. Well anyway, I touched the tester probe to the output and ground and fused something in the Pot itself. Since then wherever i applied power and ran it, the insides turned orange hot and smoked. (looks linda cool, but stinks like hell)

The partial connection turned out to be a poor output connection on the rocker switch that sends power to that circuit. Re-soldered and it's now working fine.

updated pics?

car will be detailed tomorrow morning for a show. I will get pics in the evening of ALL the glow.

sweet

atleast it doesnt look like these

So saturday, i had the car all detailed to take pics, then it freaking rained on my car for like 5 minutes....just enough to put water spots all over the damn thing.

luckly I got some quick shop-shots before taking it out. This is at about 50% power....or what they look like at idle.

good work sir.

i demand video of your genious creation.

Detailing the car today.....again....

I"ll see if i can't get some pics tomorrow night. I'll let my gf work the camera and i'll do the accelerator pedal.

YAY exhaust glow and vette roar.

your my hero

That looks awesome!

cant wait for the video

Tried doign a video, but my camera just doesn't pick up the light from the glow too well.


as a consolation, i did manage to get some really sick shots:

nice.
