  1. Building my own flush tail lights

    I haven't even made my passenger tail light yet ?.... But I do have 13 3d printers now. At this point, with how cheap the rugged ridge lights are, I wasn't sure anyone was still excited for these. I've also been researching a lot more too. Trying to find something a lot easier to wire for...
  2. Building my own flush tail lights

    It's a shame they didn't leave enough wire.... But yes they should always be bolted to metal somewhere to act like a heat sink.
  3. Building my own flush tail lights

    You need to bolt them to the metal of the truck body. That's how it will disapate the heat
  4. Building my own flush tail lights

    I know. Unfortunately where I'm working right now, I have to travel a total of 4 hours. So I have no time for tail lights for a few weeks... I'm sorry
  5. Building my own flush tail lights

  7. Building my own flush tail lights

    Some how I missed that .. but I see it now.. thanks!!! Definitely not bad at all... Weird I looked at the lights the sent and I seen the LEDs inside the circles which look like white LEDs.. where are the red LEDs at? I just need to look at those lights more... Do you have a link to your tail...

  10. Building my own flush tail lights

  11. Building my own flush tail lights

    The plastic is soooo thin too... I just like the way the cover all the way to the ressed area of the gladiator... But I don't believe I will run them on my gladiator....
  12. Building my own flush tail lights

    I was thinking about taking mine apart. I'm sure it isn't too hard... I did notice before that the reverse light was easily replaceable... I'd love to know what kind of LEDs were used... If I take them apart, and break them on accident, I guess I really won't care lol

  14. Building my own flush tail lights

    Hopefully I get home early enough tomorrow to do a daytime test...
  15. Building my own flush tail lights

    They're bright at night.... But not during the day. They have a pink hue during the day... At this point I've put in so much work on this thing, I might as well keep going... Think I'm going to have to source some high watt red LEDs and white with heat sinks... But once again it will be even...
  16. Building my own flush tail lights

    Alright so here's how they look... I'm still not 100% happy...
  17. Building my own flush tail lights

    I ordered some glue for the lenses today.. I plan on by end of week having the working prototypes running on my gladiator
  18. Building my own flush tail lights

    No issues at all... It was just getting things to not back feed... I have it all solved and working. The LEDs work off 5 volt... I was using the 5v output regulated voltage pin on the Arduino nano and that kept frying the LEDs... The nano can take up to 20v on its input voltage so I had it...
  19. Building my own flush tail lights

    I did take a little break from them. But last night I did get one side wired... What a nightmare that was... Kept blowing up led strips.... But I finally figured it all out and it works as it should... Didn't get a chance to install it on the gladiator last night for video though. I'll do it...
