LED interior light module shop (CLOSED again)

[darelldd]

** Please note - I'm closed again. I am no longer taking new orders as of July 10, 2007 **

The LED modules that I've been making for a while are now officially for sale for the Prius (2004-2006 unless somebody tells me what fixtures the first gen Prius has!). Please note that I will be unavailable during some specific times this summer (all listed on my sales page linked below)

All the information you need for purchase/installation should be found HERE
Questions can be posted here (likely best so others will see the answer and I don't have to keep answering the same Q's! OR I can be emailed (link in my sig and on sales page). If you email me, be SURE to check your spam folder for a reply. It seems that half the time I reply, my email is lost in the cracks. PLEASE avoid using PM. I really don't like it, as I have no control over it, and must be logged into PC to read it.

Previous thread on this topic: here.
An LED thread that I sort of turned into a "Darell thread" about anything LED here.

Went to your home page... WOW! You are great! I am so not worthy. Thank you for your step by step photo work, it is appreciated by all. I loved the tree story, hope you got the back yard tree straight.

Thank you and carry on,
Frank

Shucks. You're too kind.

Yikes! I was looking for LED lights... and I ran into this thread. Yeow!

I want someone who can point me in the direction of LED replacement lights for the fog lights on my Prius. I wish I had to time to develop replacement lights myself... but sadly my time has been spoken for.

Now - I am just a consumer on the road of life (sigh)...

Someone point me in the right direction please...

Unless you are just looking for some highlighting effects I don't think such a thing exists. Anything LED will either be far too dim or far too expensive (think quad K2 emitters?) to be actually useable as foglights (not that the stock fogs were much use in the first place but thats beside the point).

Yup. We could make marker lights out of them (like they are from the factory). Be we aren't going to make them useful without WAY more money than a normal person would ever consider spending.

Well, folks. My extended summer vacation has finally drawn to a close. I came back to several orders, and have done my best to fill them in a timely manner. At this point I'm not aware of any outstanding orders. If I'm wrong, please let me know!

Welcome back Darell. I hope you had fun on your vacation.

We need to figure out how to get LED's in the tail lights, they just use those dim 5 watt wedge bulbs so a red or red/orange Luxeon should be plenty bright. I've been testing some of those 5mm LED array wedge bulb replacements and they are almost bright enough.

I'm thinking something like a modified 3W maglite upgrade would fit there.

The biggest problem with those tail lights is the tiny little hole we have to work with. Tough to get enough heat sink in there - at least if we want to use the same socket. Those things are TINY! I still can't believe the thing uses only 5W bulbs for the tails. At dusk the car is almost invisible from the rear.
