project more lights...
hey guys, this is my latest project with my 5t, after transfering the 2 light pods from the 5b onto the converted to 5t, 2 pods just wernt enough, especialy with the nights drawing in here in the UK and getting dark at 4 pm, so the need was there for lights X4 more infact.
so i set about ordering up everything, this included 50 white leds (enough to do 4 light pods with 2 spare bulbs) also got 20 red leds for the rear but they ended up overcooked when i passed 6 volts through them when the max was 2.4v ( sould read details before going ahead) :blink:, but there going back to the company which is good of them as i wont be able to use them. as a result of this i have ordered a set of Killer RC 5t tail lights as i cant be assed with them lol.
but here are the fronts for now, till the rears arrive. these are blinding and provide a hugh amount of light.
will report back later when the rears arive

So, these LEDs you finally chosen, what voltage are they rated at and what is their luminance rating as well?
They look damn bright, and actually, they accent your 5T very well, Good Job!
