hi
guys i am thinking of putting together some LED bulb packs for toranas so you can replace your standard bulbs with led bulbs ( less power consumption less heat plus brighter)

so i was thinking

two yellow bulbs BA15S
two red bulbs BA15D
two red bulbs BA15S
around the $30-$40 mark? might be cheaper need to finalize prices first

plus i will have packs to suit the lights in clusters in cars as well.

what is the bulb for lh/lx torana clusters anyway?

i am hoping to get the price down to $25ish even at 30 i think this is cheap considering the bulbs are around the $10 on ebay plus shipping and at jaycar they are $24 each!

Good idea

Might also be worth while to include a note, for those who may not know, that you will need to change the flasher to the electronic solid state type if you still have the old type bimetalic (mechanical) type flasher as the LED's indictors don't pull enough current through the old mechancal type flasher for it to flash.

well i thought if your lenses are even a little bit faded the colored led globes would be better

also why would there be less light than a white led rated at the same brightness as a colored led globes?

?? you are supplying bulbs and dont know this? :blink2:

Tail/stop is 5/21W and blinker/reverse is 21W, hopefully you know what led lamp is the equivalent brightness, and how bright you can go before you exceed the regs for tailights and stop lights?

Do these led lamps work properly in terms of dispersion through the lenses?, just asking.

The other advantage you might mention is that there is basically no delay in the leds reaching operating brightness, filament globes take ~0.2 secs, this has been touted as a safety feature in having the people react 0.2 secs faster to your brake lights, it could make the difference.

any benefits to use coloured leds when the lenses are already coloured? i would have thought it would just result in less light.

Fair question Josh, with normal filament globes where the glass is coloured Id say yes, as the power rating of the globe is how much heat is generated by the "white" filament within it and not how much light is coming out of it.

the same could be true of a budget led where it is simply covered with a lens of the desired colour, but I think the leds we are talking about come with clear covers/lenses and the actual diode emits light in the desired wavelength(colour) so in theory all of the output of the device makes it through the coloured filter/lens on the vehicle and would have more light leaving the lens than a white led of the same power.

I could be wrong but I think you'll find he is asking what type are the instrument cluster bulbs, that's how I interpret it anyway.

i am receiveing some sample units for testing but i believe they should disperse the light as per a normal globe as there are led mounted on the sides and facing forward plus each led has a "lense" on it which will help spread the light

The other advantage you might mention is that there is basically no delay in the leds reaching operating brightness, filament globes take ~0.2 secs, this has been touted as a safety feature in having the people react 0.2 secs faster to your brake lights, it could make the difference.

yes i have read that and at the time thought that was a excellent thing to have with our old cars because they are so precious... and it make sense really i wonder how far a car travels at 60KMH in 0.2 sec? it well could be the difference between a rear end accident or a tense moment hearing some tyres squeal

yes the led's in the globes i am getting are a desired wave length ( color) not a colored lense/colored epoxy/colored filter

The LC almost caught fire caus of dodgy wiring so doing a full rewire and upgraee to satelite tracking. I would be interested in a full set for LC. do you have a replacement for the interior light also? When will they be available?
