Thank you for the help milton

Ummmm, if that's a real Corvair, either the Headlamps, or Engine, is on the wrong end of the car!..

I feel your pain.

That Vair will be an awesome show-piece when you get it all done.


Here is a custom LED tail light conversion I did in a 2nd gen Mitsubishi Eclipse 11 years ago. Made all my own circuit boards, drivers, etc. 828 Superflux LEDs all soldered one at a time by hand. It took me about a year to design and build the setup. The car was sold about 7 years ago and recently resurfaced in a Phoenix salvage yard with all the tail light features still work including the 7-segment sequential turn signals.

Over half a million views.

Very cool Dave! a lot of work !! -- and rather advanced for 11 years ago. I may not know what I'm talking about but, did you have a chip programed with the sequencing? Where was that from?

I programmed the sequential features and PWM dimming using basic Picaxe chips. The higher functioning features were programmed by a friend who ganged together a few more advanced micro-controllers.

I only hope that such fantastic work gets reinstalled in a "keeper" car, and doesn't end up in the crusher. Having such work disappear into nothingness is too obscene to think about.

Nice metal work.👍
