Finally had time to start this. I was looking for a bulb socket so I wouldn't have to permanently attach the bulb to the tail housing.

Found some at autozone for 8 dollars each junkyards here wanted about the same price for used ones[?]

This is what I started with


Then cut the center out


Here is the L1224R Led


I then had to dremel off the tabs it has on there for the new socket to fit over


L1224R LED with new socket sitting on there. Will epoxy new socket and it's base tomorrow.


Well here are some day time completed pictures still working on the flasher issue cant seem to find a EP27 relay anywhere in this town





Brakes on


Just the headlights


Here are some pictures from last night

L1224R on left Stock incandescent on right


This is just 1 L1224R light for a park light on

 

looks like you have a lic plate light out on the right side

 

nice upgrade, always can tell what cars have those when it comes to stopping or changing lanes.

 

Looks good and bright

 

Looks like we're fully functioning! Glad you got it all worked out!! I sure do love my L1224R's!!!

 

Looks great man! I do like it!

 

Thanks Shane for the picture it helped out alot I was so frustrated last night working on them

Finally got a EP27 flasher from Orielly. Went to one and nothing on the shelf left there went to another and they didn't have one.

I asked the guy he said they would have one behind the counter but they didn't have one there but the store I was just at showed they had 4 of them.

 

Looks good man. Now they just need to make amber ones.

 

DITTO!! That way I'd be LED's up front too.

 

another happy L1224R customer~!

 

Just realized how bright these really are with brake lights on.

Was sitting in traffic no one behind me. The treet sign that was a good 50 yards away was red

 

hahahahahahahah, i just totally lmao

Dude you forget I have FOUR of these in my tails with the beefy LED CHMSL to match.

 

Cant even imagine how bright that is

I wish the new flasher wasn't as annoying though a lot louder than the stock one

 

huh...my new flasher is quieter than my stock one. different tone too.

 

Wait a couple minutes ill be back

 

Okay video

1st one is of the new flasher
2nd is OEM flasher
3rd new flasher again

 

I wonder what a strip of dynomat would do if it were wrapped around the flasher? hmm?

 

mine isnt any louder either, just a different tone. I do notice if i turn it off half way through a click it clicks one more time.

 

Yeah if anything mine was a softer tone.

 

I have some L1224R left if anybody wants to do this mod...

 

Already ordered mine! I can't decide on how I want to make mine work, whether to use this method or epoxy the part to the back of the taillight housing.


They do I just don't know how to get them. Jp7, I found a link on civicforums about these...do you have any info on the amber ones?

 

what ever you dont just epoxy it to the housing

 

Do it the way STL, PAseries and crucialcolin did. All the same method (the corvette/STI way) - it gives better results me thinks compared to the way Fx4wannabe and I did - we were first remember) I know I am missing a few members because there has to be 10-15 of us on RF that have these.
No - I think this is a prototype picture. They probably did this putting the concept together. If you read more on this you'll tell that the L1224R's I've been getting you guys look entirely different than the original prototype ones in the syvania show-off thread. If your really advantageous, and smarter than me you could always try taking them apart and modding them to be amber, but this would be like a brain-transplant as far as I'm concerned. I only take clusters and convert them to different colored LED.

 

yeah, and I just realized too that I should have way higher feedback than just 2 w/ 100% LOL - come on guys give me positive feedback for the um-teen members that bought L1224R and love them

 

Hey Jp7 on the civic site its got pics of your ranger. Are the grill lights led strips?? Also what are you using in the reverse lights?
