After a rather unpleasant day of hauling furniture and then having to work on a Saturday, I grabbed some pizza, watched some Adventure Time, an decided to solder up the orange and white LED’s like I said I would.<\/p>\n
Process went a bit quicker and cleaner by putting the resistors on top of the board and backside soldering them down. Got both a orange and white led set up and wired up in no time, and went out to the Avalanche (taking my spot!) to test them out.<\/p>\n
Once again, holy moly, though this time, more for the white than the orange. I was actually a little disappointed in how bright the orange is, so it’s definitely a good thing there’s going to be double the number of orange to white LED’s. I grabbed one of the clear lenses and placed it over the two LED’s, got decent dispersal but it’s definitely going to need the number I planned on using. Still, the white’s damn bright, which is going to make both a good running light and reverse light.<\/p>\n
I did slightly burn the tip of one finger on a resistor. The things are getting incredibly hot, so I’m a little concerned about what the end-use resistors I ordered today from Digi-Key are going to do. Will have to set one of the running lights up and see what happens when they show up!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
