Hmm, well, the rings turned up today so I thought I'd give them a quick try...
First impressions; I've only got a 9v PS rather than 12v so they're quite dim compared to the LEDs and unfortunately they're not full rings unlike the description. Shame really as the ring sizes are perfect!
I had the ring lights you have I know what you mean about the brightness and not getting a full circle you should buy the led versions from the retrofit source I bought them they are so bright when you blink you see the circles lol and you also get a full circle there's no start/end as on the glass ones you have, and the LEDs go all the way round, don't worry about the LEDs not looking bright in this pic I had to really play around with the settings to get the cam to pick up the circles properly there that bright the cam pics the rings up as a solidish light and 1 more bonus with the led version has a very small black cylinder, compared to a bulky rectangle box to hide on the glass ring version
The rings I got from eBay, I just measured the housing and ordered the right size.
The PCBs I had made to my design years ago, just wanted to update the look a little.
Keeping the PCBs, just changing sidelights only.
The PCBs are backed with a black resist, not reflective at all, just there to make the lights look darker.
The LED rings are backed with a reflector built in, if you want, I can take pictures of the rings off if it helps?
Thanks for the offer Matt. I won't bother you for taking your hard work apart, but appreciate the offer.
The info provided is protect and gives me a good idea what to look for.
I'm tempted to try something like a 2 sized setup with a ring inside a ring... Long way off doing it mind. Will take me half a day to get to the back of my GTR lol.
New to this forum having picked up an R33 GTR from The GTR Heritage Centre a couple of weeks ago. Great service from them and can't recommend them highly enough.
Have wanted an R33 GTR for years and timings worked out right to get one.
A few of you may recognise it as it's had two owners in...
As some of you know, I bought my original R33 GTR last year around June / July. I was very happy with the car, despite it appearing to have done more miles than stated. Following ~2000 miles of trouble free driving, #6 main bearing let go, taking the crank, piston, etc with it. But! I overcame...
Something I've been playing with recently, self taught so it's still work in progress.
Starting from scratch with the SDL3 config in Dash Manager and creating a custom DBC file to use in Dash Creator, the screen-shots show custom created dash icons for the off and on indication conditions. All...
