Drewmotty Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just fitted a set of Bobs LEDs and they're brilliant (see what I did there :-) ) I was surprised to see that they are just as much of an improvement when viewed from the side too. Thanks Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi Folks, it is always good when somebody comes up with a bright idea. You sit there for ages and then it is though a switch is thrown and the light comes on. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi Bob. I may be too late but if not I'd like a pair please for my late TR3 positive earth (at the moment).If I later swop to neg earth is it something that I can change over?ThanksMalcolm Transferred this PM so all can see the answer. I am making these "on demand" turn-around is usually 1 day. They can only be made -ve, or +ve earth. once made it would be very difficult to change. However, I would be happy to exchange one for t'other if you do change the polarity of the car at some future date. There will always (hopefully) be someone else who wants the 1st option. If anyone who buys these from me has any problem with them (non so far) I will happily sort out / repair / exchange as appropriate. I charge £10 per bulb + postage, which in this country is 96p (1st class large letter) Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Coincidentally I am at present working on a similar solution to the non amber rear flashers, By using a yellow version of my red LEDS situated behind the reflector of the lamp cover. I have acquired a couple of covers where the reflector is clear plastic instead of the usual red, & early test are encouraging. Will report back ! Bob.

j-eichert Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 So the first bulbs have been exported to the continent - and seem to work in LHD-countries as well I see a massive improvement in brightness and will test them soon (have to install my rebuilt engine in first) - already warned the collegues driving behind me to carry sunglasses with them, just in case... And our german TÜV (= MOT), which is a group of "anoraks" (can you say it this way ?): Well, worst case it's loosening 4 screws and exchange the bulbs for these 30 minutes..... Great job, Bob Regards, Johannes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks Johannes, glad they arrived safely. My car has just got through it's MOT last Friday, passed with no comment on the lights. Initial results on the "flasher in the same housing" experiment are promising: Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 After following me on a drive home from a local watering hole John (Chilliman) reports that the new LEDs are similar to a "modern" from behind. Thanks again Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 There have been some questions about the legality of replacing filament bulbs with LED types.I have done some searching on the web, & as far as I can see any car built prior to 1985 is not restricted.Here are the relevant pages to cover Tail lamps, & Stop lamps:http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/10/madehttp://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/12/madeand this supports the cause: FBHVC News 4-14 RTF.doc Bob.
