what a rip off (newbs beware)

[tonyppe]

just seen these on Egay

and just thought,, how many people have fallen for this sort of trap.

i think this is leaning towards 'jesus toast'

(did do a search on it but no toast this week (pics of jesus on cooked toast (how crap)))

I brought some of these

no scam there just a shite time trying to fit them

they look ok, i made a rally brake light this way
(you just use the plastic thingy off ikea blinds)


why buy them tho?

you can buy that plastic tubing so cheap, you then get a knife from the kitchen and cut slits all down one side, warm it up, bend it round something slightly smaller than ur headlight so it goes in,
the 5mm LEDs fit perfectly inside, bit of hot glue will make it permenant,
then do the old p=i/v formula to work out what resistor you need per LED to get from 12V down to 3.5 or whatever the LED uses.

LEDs are less than £2 resistors dont even cost a penny. the plastic tubing is nickable, although its best to buy ;)

or use 12v LEDs

[tonyppe]

didnt know they made them!
wouldnt they have a resistor built in? as i think the diodes only use small amout of voltage

TBH, if I was going to do angel eyes I'd probably buy these in full knowledge of what they are. But that's because I'm cheap and I like a challange!

100% made by machine!!!
RIng shining brightly!!!
