LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by TRYGO(m): 10:30am On Jun 30, 2019 |
I know some of these interior cabin LEDs are available in the aftermarket parts store. I just decided to change the interior lighting of my car from the stock yellow(maybe tungsten) ones to a more brighter white colour. Advantage is that it consumes less juice from the battery, about 20mA(not a problem, if the doors are left ajar for hours). Next plan is to replaced the car's Infiniti logo at the front, with an LED setup. |

I wanted to use the stock bulb casing for the retrofit.
This particular one has its bulb dead, and so was a good candidate for it.

kingreign: His life. His will. I believe he has every right to do whetever he chooses to do with his tym. personally i love what he has done. this is beyond trying to reinvent the wheel. this is about understanding how the wheel was invented in the first place and with further research improving on it (if possible). nob like some people wey go just dey do copy and paste from the internet. they know the wheel but dey have no understanding of how the wheel works... 9 Likes 2 Shares |

In the opening part of the writeup, I had already stated the availability of those LEDs in the market. I'm just the kind of guy that likes reverse engineering stuffs, if I can do them. Spending such a time on what I have put my mind to do, no matter how formidable it is, does not bugged me down. I think the most important thing is time management, what I want achieved, and priorities. Stuffs like these makes me better understand how some computations were arrived at, and how to practically implement what has being theoretically designed. PS: @Automotech. You seems to pretty much understand the concept here. Regards, Joseph |
