Hi everyone. Decently long time lurker. New member. I know there are endless posts like this and I have searched before I post. Ive been researching this the past couple days and Ive seen its a possibly not allowed topic? Im not too sure so let me know if Im not square. I also apologize for the massive wall of text Im about to unleash. But Im here to learn!
I have a 1990 Toyota supra and I want to make a custom set of LED tail lights for it. I have attached an image of what Im trying to emulate. The guy that makes them wont even discuss how he made them with me even though he's trying to get rid of the last sets he has as he doesnt want to make them anymore. I dont plan on selling them. Ever. I just dont have 800 bucks to blow on a set of pre made lights when Id rather do it myself.
Looks like per light, There are:
Red:30x8
White(Reverse only): 8x3 x3 rows
Amber Turn signals: 15x3 x 3 rows
Im a novice with electrical and I know a bit how things work, I was planning on going with Red, Amber, and white superflux led's with these specs:
Red:
Forward Voltage: 1.8 ~ 2.2V
Luminous Intensity: 4000 ~ 5000MCD
Peak Wave Length(nm): 620 ~ 625
Reverse Current (uA) : <=30
Viewing Angle : 120 ~ 140 Degree
Max Power Dissipation : 80mw
Max Continuous Forward Current : 30mA
Max Peak Forward Current : 75mA
White:
Forward Voltage: 3.0 ~ 3.4V
View Angle: 100 ~ 120 degrees
Color Temperature: 6000 ~ 7000K
Reverse Current (uA) : <=30
Viewing Angle : 120 ~ 140 Degree
Max Power Dissipation : 80mw
Max Continuous Forward Current : 30mA
Max Peak Forward Current : 75mA
Amber:
Forward Voltage: 1.8 ~ 2.2V
View Angle: 100 ~ 120 degrees
Peak Wave Length(nm): 585 ~ 590
Reverse Current (uA) : <=30
Viewing Angle : 120 ~ 140 Degree
Max Power Dissipation : 80mw
Max Continuous Forward Current : 30mA
Max Peak Forward Current : 75mA
Reverse Voltage : 5~6V
I know series is a no no but thats about as far as I know how to go until I get some input. I havent messed with circuitry for so long I need a long refresh course on the basics. So I dont want to do any short cuts and I want to make the best quality setup I can.
So with that said... Lay it on me!
