thanks for the comments guys


Dave I didn't have the right tools to remove the bearings so i had to find my own way to do it and think my way made it simple and quick.

New indicators in reverse light holder

Post by ANTON »

A little while ago Derek mentioned to me the idea of trying to incorporate an indicator in the reverse light holder on our 68 Chargers. I said I could make-up and LED indicator sot that we could leave the standard reverse light bulb in place. After a little trial and error this is what I can up with.

I brought the LEDs off the internet and the circuit board from Maplins<br />and started the long process of soldering all the Leds to the shaped curcuit board

Video of indicators and reverse lights, not a very good video but you will at least see what we have done.

Might be an idea to use an LED bulb for the reversing light? I'm thinking the heat from a conventional bulb will cause all your hard work to deteriorate eventually. Good fix BTW, a very clever solution!

The reverse light bulb is behind the LEDs and the silocone on the rear of the Leds is heat resistant and honestly how long are the reverse light in use for.
