I bought a couple of brake/turn lights for a boat trailer, and plan on destroying them to make them fit in my bobcats. I just want to make sure it is ok and that they don't run too hot or draw too much amperage. Hopefully, cooler and less amps???
Yes and yes. Good luck! BTW you may have to switch to an electronic flasher. Since they do pull much less current, the conventional flasher in your car may be erratic or not work at all. Then again it might be fine, just thought I'd throw that out there...
Hmmm...didn't think of that about the flasher. If this works, I will be putting stop lamps in both sections of the bobcats, and then the inside one will work as stop only, the outside set will work as stop/flash. Then work on the front signals behind the grill if this works out.
These are what I am starting with...I figured I would cut away all the plastic until I just have the board with the lights and wiring, them affix them to the inside of the bobcats. Of course, if they are already in a clear lens, I guess I could skip all that cutting.
Nope, won't work. At least this set of lights wont. Too many lights to fit in the lit portion of the taillight. I will have to swap them out for smaller lights. It looks like I only have about 3"X1.5" to work with inside the light cavity. Maybe a little more if I can keep the board and lights thinner.
I was looking on a web site mustang project.com and they have a universal set of led's two sizes one is 6" long that I thought might fit in my stock mav tail lights.. They come ready to plug into yor light socket and has the correct flasher included... Plus they are the one that flash like a cougar or tbird... They also have led back up lights the ones you put in your valance, led dash lights even a led dome light....
I may need to check those out. Sounds like all the bugs are already worked out, except for maybe the size. If they are REALLY thin, they might work.
