My New Style LED Rear Lights - 19/04/2014 23:58
My New COB LED Rear Lights
L/H = Original. R/H = New Style - side lights on
L/H = Original. R/H = New Style - brake lights on
L/H = New Style. R/H = New Style - brake lights on
As some will testify I'm not a big fan of LED rear lights.
I'm just not keen on the "fairy light" look of the single LED's in a row, it reminds me of Land Rover Defender lights (sorry if this upsets, it's just my personal opinion ). But I am a fan of LEDs. So having been browsing the Bay a little while back I stumbled upon these. And a cunning plan formed in my head.
Having ordered and received quite promptly the pair of red COB LED rings. I set about a spare set of rear lights I've had for a while.
There is a very slight gap between the red lens and the black reflector, just enough to get a hack saw in and guide round. If you're careful and you have a nice new sharp blade a stiff hack saw, this job is not too difficult, just take your time (I found it best to rest the light on a bag of bubble wrap to stop it from wobbling whilst cutting). The more time you take now the less sanding you have to do later.
This is a teaser..............
more later, suffice to say, the inner reflective surface of the lense in the new lights is different too, this can be seen in the increased light output from the standard brakelight bulb.
