Awesome custom tails!! I'm certain you'll get some compliments from people who recognize they are NOT stockers!!! Very cool!

 

Nice tails

 

Thanks Jason! I love making my monte one of a kind!

That looks great! Really though, If you get bored sometime, I could use some new taillights

 

Very cool Justin!

 

I won't have time once school starts again


I got some nifty boxes to stuff the circuits it. There's two of them. One for each side of the car. They will go in the trunk somewhere.







Tails should be installed and wired up by Friday.. I promise

 

I can be patient! summer project

 

What are the circuits in the boxes for? They look like you have some adjustments on them. Are they for blinker speed controls?
FYI - If this is explained elsewhere, sorry for the repeat post

 

In the boxes are the PWM circuits. A Pulse Width Modulator is a device that can safely control the brightness of an LED array. The way it does this is by very very quickly turning the LED array on and off and a certain rate. It does this so fast that your eyes cannot tell the lights are blinking, and it appears as the lights are dimmer/brighter.

When the brake is depressed, the circuit I made will take the brake wire current and bypass the PWM circuit, making the LEDs light up full brightness for brakes. The same applies for the blinker.

The board with the adjustment dial on it is the PWM. I will use this to set the brightness of the running lights (dimmed to around 50% of full brightness). The rest of the circuitry is some diodes and voltage regulators to give the LED array good voltage along with preventing any back flow of current.

Hope that was helpful. I know the PWM stuff can be quite confusing! It took me the longest time to figure out how to do it

 

Looks Great deff be something no one else will have
