i'll re-write the write up on how to add blue beds soon...
all i have time for right now is a pic.

The photo didnt show up very well, it is alot brighter in real life...
but you get the idea

[Mr_Diesel]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!! Holy foshizzel!!! Sorry about the database loss, I wish we could have retained the original post... But damn dude... That's NICE!

[Mr_Diesel]

By the way, I didnt know you had an eco diesel!!!! When you gonna sell it to me?

[Anonymous]

that is nice. just get up the info on how to do that soon.

[Mr_Diesel]

rotfl... He actually posted a big 2 page mabob on how to do it but we lost the last database when we upgraded to PHPnuke (damn). Anyway... Mabey he still has that information.

[chicows18]

next time you need to save it on computer and upload it again and again and again. That is a mod I have not gotten around to doing.

[JaY_III]

i'll re-write it up again tonight...
Plus i got another project with LEDs for MK-II GTI's... but i took step by step pics...

Oh and its not a ECO diesel. 87 Turbo...
So no Cat on my car :D...
and once i can find an intercooler, i'll get the exhust and do a strait pipe (with fake muffler as its req in Vancouver)..

One more thing, if anyone know of any good webspace without adds, could you please pass that on to me, as i need some space for PICs

[jettadude]

when you retype it make is a new post and once im a mod again ill make it an announcement! :D

[Mr_Diesel]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo.... When you going to sell me your "87 Turbo Diesel"?

[yellowhummer10]

OMG that is sick. Wow.

[Mr_Diesel]

Yeah man... Makes you wanna get an A2 doesnt it?!!!?! :twisted:

Soory, but your gona have to pry my cold dead fingers of the shifter to get me to give up my car. I love it.

[Mr_Diesel]

Cold DEAD fingers? That can be arranged... COUGH... Anyway, every man has their price. NAME IT!

[jettadude]

[Gotturbo]

Yeah man... Makes you wanna get an A2 doesnt it?!!!?! :twisted:

Nope :D When I get off my lazy ass my lights are gunna be blue or red. :roll:

good luck with that. there aren't that many around, and i doubt many would want to give theirs up.

if you do RED LEDS, you cant do the Mod the same as Blue.
As RED LEDS operate on 1.9 to 2.5 Volts...

So if you need help with that, just ask.
oh and that reminds me, i have to post soon step-by step instructions with pics this time of Fixing GTI (90) spoiler brake lights with LEDS

where did you say you live again... and where abouts your house you say your keep your key :twisted:

Really though, you got a turbo on yours???

[Mr_Diesel]

LOL... I guess I'll just have to rebuild one of my turbo motors... Ohhhhhhhhhh well... Anyway, I'm getting back into the gasoline scene (as gasoline reaches 3 dollars per gallon... (damn)

[twig]

nah. i got no turbo. it's got the whopping 52hp in it. you were saying somewhere that you need the heated seats for winter....you live in BC...what part? in southern BC, it hardly reaches 0 C.

[Mr_Diesel]

Hey!!!! I really want to do LED conversions on my turn signal lights... I LOVE IT... Jay, you seem very proficient in electronics and crap.... Could you provide some insight on LED turn signal conversion? Would the stock flasher relay work?

[Mortal_Wombat]

now that i wouldnt mind doing..i think it would look pretty friggin slick :mrgreen:

[Mr_Diesel]

yeah dude.... I call it the "Caddilac Effect". :D

[JaY_III]

You can convert any light to a LED setup.
All you need to do is rip out the bulb and steal the 12V supply from the bulb for use with LED's.

How many do you want to put in?
And what colour?

You feed me that, and i'll tell you how to rig it up

[Mr_Diesel]

Uhhhh... Amber of course... I dunno it has to be bright enough to pass inspection.

[JaY_III]

i am thinking use white LED's as the Yellow Casing will filter the color to Amber...

Sound about right to you?
Also, you get the pics i e-mailed you?

[Mr_Diesel]

Yeah... white LEDS are more expensive eh??? I dunno... Whatever you think. I have stock taillights, so white LED's would work... They have to be REALLY bright, and I'd like to keep it under 10 dollars per light (40 total)... Also, I dunno if this will trigger the fast flash on the flasher relay... Is that just triggered when the connection is severed? (IE: fillament burnt out)...

[JaY_III]

10 dollars per light ROTFLMAO
$10 USD will get you 50.
If you want really bright, just use a LOT of LEDS.
They draw next to no current, milli amps, so you dont even have to think about causing harm to the circit you tap into.

I order 100 Blue Leds from hong kong for $20 USD shipped.
by them in an electronics store they are up to $5 each

I wouldn't trade my 2-dr for anything!

Dude, I saw how did did that little light strip. If I had to do that to like 20 LED's, there is no way it would work... It would get too messy, and I'd probably end up crossing the wires somewhere. What do you suggest i do when I am making a large array from the rear tail lights? you should gimme the info for that hong kong ****, I really could use that... That's my only main worry, is that if I pay 2 bucks each for the brightest LED's that I will blow them up in testing.
