LED Brake Lights - Page 49

Just ordered the rear lights and third brake light sets from spoke. Been concerned for years about someone rear-ending me because the stock lights are fairly dim by today's standards.

I wanted to change my stock red rear signal lenses to yellow.
So, I thought to upgrade to Spoke LED while I'm at it.
I will post pics , looks way better

I’m slowly making progress on 3D printed housings. Here are some pics of a half scale printing:

Oh, I LIKE this! I currently have my rear housings out to clean them up, install new gaskets, etc. They're heavy lil' suckers. I'd be down for a set of lightweight drop-in replacements, stuffed with Spokeworks LED goodness.

Frank, I want to replace the gaskets around the fixtures. How do I remove the housings? I see one screw by the sidemarker. Are these fixtures screwed in from the front or do I need to go behind them?

Oh dear. Mine weren't too bad to remove, but I have the muffler out and the bumper off (so I had good access to the cage nuts). Some guys have had a hell of a time getting the two mounting screws (two per housing, one on each side) off, including having to drill the screw heads off...

Making more headway. The black printing is first prototype and white is second.

Add me to the lightwt. housing list!

What material is the white one?

I'm interested also. Please add me.

David · David's Garage

The white one is ABS. The connecting piece holding the three pieces together isn't installed. That will bring the weight to just under 300 grams. Total print time is over 24 hours!

Here's the board I came up with. I was able to jam 48 LEDs onto a board about 1/2 the size of the standard 911 brake board. For the turnsignal/running light half of the LEDs will be amber and the other half red.

The only thing about this board is the bulb holder on the base needs to be removed. I'm not a fan of cutting and hacking away at the fixture but for this application it had to be done and the requestor is ok with doing this. We'll see how it turns out.

Are you planning to have these leds for sale? I’m interested.

Just installed spoke's LED rear lights. Brake lights and side markers. What a difference! I also have an added 'cyclops' upper brake light and did that one too. Well worth the money for added peace of mind.

This is only the running lights, no one to press on the brake pedal:

Set the phone to record video.
Record both levels of lights in same video.
During playback, pause video at correct moments.
Take screenshot of each.

Just did my brake lights this weekend. Huge improvement and took minutes. Now I have to do every other light in the car! Thanks Spoke!

Excited to see the new brake lights. Purchased a set. Thanks!
