leds in exhaust
#1
Well, in a few weeks I will be putting my new exhaust on. I am wanting to put red leds in the tips for a glowing effect at night. i was wondering if I could put the led bolts into the tip and if the heat would effect it or not

Yeah, take any extended drives, and I'm sure the heat would melt them, if not any insulating wires close by. The tips you see on the street have two pipes. The inner is the actual exhaust pipe, and the outer is just for show. The LEDs fit inbetween the two pipes so they are a little more insulated.

its not rice at all....i am putting a new exhaust on and am having the rectangle z28 tips coming out flush mounted to the rollpan and i wanted to have 2 sets of red leds to light em up at night, 1 set for running lights and the other set for the brake lights

put the LEDs in the tips, once they melt and the wires are exposed you can shoot flames instead

I am glad someone called him out on this one, I held back, but it is straight rice, and don't mix makers either. Also for anyone that says it is his truck, he can do what he wants, your a moron.
If it were me, I would just dump the exaust before the axle, add LED tailights to the roll pan, and shave your tail lights. Can I also ask why, since your frenched the plate did you not shave the handle?

As with most things in life, if YOU think it is looks good, feels good, tastes good, or sets up something good, GO FOR IT!!!
With all the whining :roll: about this site not having enough technical information you would hope when someone asks a technical question (how do I keep the LEDS from frying at the exhaust tip) he might get more intelligent answers.
But NO mostly social commentary. :cry:
I would look for an aftermarket part that already has the LEDS installed. Would defiantly need to be a double walled device, and if you could have the LEDS glow brighter with higher revs that would be very pimp. Like the party/dance lights that are in tune to the music.

Your question has already been answered, you CANNOT just put LEDs inside your tailpipes, they would melt. Thats why the LED tips are double-walled with air flow vents to cool the LEDs and keep them seperate from the exhaust gasses.
Maybe you can recess the tips back under the bumper and mount a neon tube for a similar effect?

His question was answered and the thread died a long time ago. Someone decided to bring it back to life and it went to hell from there.
To everyone who jumped on the bandwagon here, flaming someone because you don't like their style only shows your own mentality, not that of the person you are flaming.

I think we gave him the input because we are a fellow ranger owner and would hate to see him GET FLAMED MORE BY OTHERS when the mod is done.
The same has Wowak questioning Chirstians purchase of the 4x4, he was concerned. That's all we are as well.
