Been working on these for a while now and I have now completed them and fit back on the car.

 

I have sold over the last couple of months a few sets of led 99 spec copies but on these my own genuine units I have crammed in even more led's.

 

54 smd lights are for the tail or sidelights, 72 led's are used for the brakes and 78 amber led's are lit when you indicate, these figures are per side, again the tails do look much much better in the flesh and modern up the Z a bit more.

 

The first 2.23 mins of the video with a little walk around is in the daylight, then 30mins in the fading light and then the final minute is when it was completely dark :cool3:.

I Love your Light-Emitting Diodes :) Especially at night ,you`ve done a wonderful job ;) Nice bum too :kiss:

Nice and bright Andy:thumbup: It makes the zed look more modern mate.

Looking good mate

 

Still prefer the traditional bulb as it give a nice even glow.

Agree with the top red with the two bulbs but I think the lower chamber struggles to be lit with just the one indicator bulb :confused1:.

 

With the led's fitted the chambers are jammed packed full of light :cool3:.

Yeah I agree with that well lol. In the sun there near impossible to see. Can you stick another bulb in there or is it to close to the lense I cannot remember

Looking good pal Andy

top notch them andy 'me wants'

The 3 bulb holders on the rear are 3 bulges, there is a flat bit on the 'unlit' indicator lens part that yes will sit close to the lens for a full size holder/bulb, very easy to modify and put in perhaps a smaller T10 bulb holder which will compliment the one already in the lower part but my guess is it wouldn't bother anybody enough to justify the work :no:.

Yeah, agreed… very nice work by the way.. :)

 

My solution was to do my first led moded ones with 4 10mm led bulbs in the flatter section.

This put more light into the empty section and still made it possible to replace ant damaged/blown bulbs from the outside of the unit.

My second set I used more 10mm leds in the indicator section (6 from memory) and I also added 4 red 10mm leds to the break section.

Again this makes it relatively easy to replace any bulbs (i.e. not having to pull the unit apart again).

 

However they still don’t have the contemporary look.

 

So my latest ones are very similar to yours..

 

I’ve left the original bulb holders in and have leds in them as well. There is only one strip of leds in each section and in the break light section the led strip only comes on with the break.

 

So not as clever as yours but do still look nice for a converted set…;)
