I&#8217;m not going to buy direct replacement LED lamps that fit where the stock lamps do. No. I&#8217;m going to create a it from scratch. I&#8217;m beginning with small lenses like the 3rd Brake and now the Rear Dome light. These are more for testing than final designs. I&#8217;m just making sure my circuit design can stand up to the electrical system.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m calling this part of the project &#8220;All LED&#8221;. The most exciting part of the project is I plan on using a Raspberry Pi to control some of the functions, namely the sequential signals on the front and rear. The plan is to have ~5 panels light up in sequence sorta similar to the Stang but a couple steps further. Along with that the Tails design and layout will look different. I&#8217;m working up a photoshop again and maybe a video simulating the sequential pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Along with this I&#8217;m creating my own projectors and using LED to fill the area inside the headlight cubby. I plan on ordering the parts kit tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I also plan on ditching the road lamp housings. I&#8217;ll probably throw them up for sale. To replace them I will incorporate a running light in the front signal area. All this will be very discrete and no blinding oncoming traffic! I&#8217;m taking in consideration the brightness and placement of all the LEDs I don&#8217;t want to blind, just be seen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rear Dome Light Conversion&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Board installed:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_215000_053_zpskvocne7e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_215000_053_zpskvocne7e.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_215048_122_zpsjsmsvrek.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_215048_122_zpsjsmsvrek.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Old light output!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_215601_481_zpsj5owzlrz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_215601_481_zpsj5owzlrz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>New LED output!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_220812_459_zpst0u4ac4a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_220812_459_zpst0u4ac4a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Appearance<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_220926_277_zps3clo1xuw.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_220926_277_zps3clo1xuw.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_221021_878_zpshnhijbmf.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frankforged.com\/forge\/images\/cars\/96camaro\/operationx\/IMG_20140115_221021_878_zpshnhijbmf.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;ve decided that rather than just make some LED tails, I&#8217;m going to convert pretty much everything I can to LED.
