Sequential Turn Signals (Page 2/2) liv4God JUL 15, 02:38 AM quote Originally posted by dremu: How'd I miss that there were not one, but TWO Fieros with sequential turns at the wine country run? Shame on me! Mine are four segments -- and yes, I did it just to anger Ogre. So very illegal https://youtu.be/rLDPXpvjWEU Note that I didn't capture the full blink pattern. It starts with all four segments on, just like the factory turn, and then begins the sequential blink you see here. As with yours, it's Arduino driven. In this case, I used MOSFETs instead of relays. This was on the premise that I distrust mechanical pieces to fail, especially in locations with high vibration like the trunk. https://youtu.be/v_2u5Uy4yrU -- A I was driving my 86 coupe at the Vine Run and the sequentials are in my 88, so there was no way you could know. Nice idea to use the mosfets. Recently I rebuilt my system in a much smaller enclosure than I had prevoluously (about the size of a Samsung Galaxy Note, but an inch thick) and mounted it under the center console in front of the shifter and now it blinks intermittently when no input is applied, so probably one of the input relays is flickering. rogergarrison JUL 15, 09:36 AM Lots of good real info Ogre. Ive had customers stop in to check their malfunctioning headlights. What ive usually found is they replaced the OEM bulb with like Sylvania super brite ones and melted the back of the headlight housings. Theyre always upset that I tell them they have to buy complete new headlight sets...which can cost $1000 or more. theogre JUL 16, 04:14 PM quote Originally posted by rogergarrison: Lots of good real info Ogre.

Like people claiming New cars have LED Taillights etc so must be "a good upgrade" and ignoring many new cars have to replace entire fixtures because Factory Installed LED fail from many reason including made to meet RoHS rules. I was behind a Prius a few day ago w/ mostly blown LED taillights... To fix them is often a big job because many are very built into the car and if no warranty then often cost hundreds of $ to get light assemblies from a Dealer. If by some miracle you find a car in a junk yard, those OE LED are often dead too. Newer Big Truck have "Drop in" LED 4" taillight assemblies that often start to fail in a year or three. (Most big trucks use a few standard fixture sizes. 4" round taillight is only 1 of them.) To replace them is easier and much cheaper but publish data claiming would last for decades is crap. Most dealers and aftermarket vendors won't honor warranties for Commercial vehicles. I've seen many new semis etc trucks w/ bad LED and no obvious damage from hitting them or other abuse. sourmash JUL 16, 10:41 PM Using them in the proper place is the key. LEDs are inside my 85 interior and performing well. None inside the house yet. None in exterior car lighting. They are on one of my trailers and were a big improvement but seldom used and may not even work anymore. I've got some flame effect LED bulbs on the front of my house that run 24/7. People drove by the house at night just to look at them when I installed them. They're superb fir a little dramatic effect. Looks just like gas lamps. Everybody asks where I got them and I lie every time and just say Amazon. No way I'm going to tell them so they can have exactly what I have. theogre JUL 17, 03:07 PM quote Originally posted by sourmash: Using them in the proper place is the key.

Internal car use have problems too like Most won't work right w/ the dash dimmer and some "idiot lights" like the alt light. (Alt wants proper 194 bulb filament resistance just to turn on.) Many install "Canbus" LED in the interior that causes problem too because the load resistors in/on them get screaming hot if on for long. Home light is funny. Many types of "Flame LEDs" are available now. I have many home 120v units including early Cree sold by HD. Several have died and most are in very open fixtures w/ a lot of air cooling them. 3 Cree have died w/ signs PS section is bad... they blink etc like dying florescent tubes. Others fry 1 or more LED and go totally dead. Cree turn on fast but others have a delay to start like TOGGLED 48" LED tubes I got last year on clearance from HD are 1-3 sec to start, slower then florescent tubes they replace. Old tubes and ballast was good but very old and won't light in cold weather. This LED version you have to cut out the ballast and use less power because of this vs LED that work w/ old ballasts.
