Feeler for a replacement third brake housing "no go"

Honest question.... so exactly how much of a pain in the person behind you's ass will an 1100-2500 (depending on if you get sport or pro) lum red LED be?

 

Probably a good chance of it but you can tint it down or use a dimmer as someone mentioned earlier I believe

 

Tint maybe but if these LED are anything like home LED bulbs they may not perform well on a dimmer unless the circuit is specifically designed for it. Home LED tend to flicker on a dimmer unless you buy ones that specifically say dimable

 

Or the make a damn humming noise. But I do like this.

 

I believe BD sets up their leds to run at 100% too as an FYI. So unless they have an option to get a lower output, the lights would be stupid bright for a brake light, and it would require a custom solution.

My plan was to hopefully ask about purchasing a S2 housing, bezel, and lense without internals etc., and try to retrofit an existing brake assembly internal to run off the factory brake wiring / signal, so there are no power variance issues on that circuit. Then a standard S2 next to it with aux power wiring and switch on dash for the second spot.

 

It's a super cool idea for sure but 100% off road use only

 

Check voltage rating for the LED lights if they can run at 9V for example you can lower the output voltage and it won't be as bright, along with some tint you could tone it down enough.

IMO I don't see this an a issue, those who purchase this can figure it out and do it how they prefer.


... and I want one already in my Taco!!!!

 

UPDATE:::::::: We are rolling within a week!!!!!!! We have 3 designs we are going to see how they play out. Will update soon.

 

Awesome!!

 

Yes!!!!!

 

Let's do this! I'm ready to blind people when I brake

 

Are we getting close to release?

 

This is what i received over message today. "Just wanted to let you know im bringing those guys in this week for the first stage of prototyping." I know this has taken forever, i apologize for the length of this...

 

to install it would require new holes to be drilled, correct?

 

Direct replacement as stated in the original post.

 

3rd gen or also 2nd gen?

I want one for a 2nd gen

 

In for 1st gen

 

Any updates?

 

He is finishing his raptor build everything else got put on hold. He did make a few prototypes but is not showing anyone. (Yet) I'm hoping to hear back from him Wednesday.
