Second time i tried to be more careful with a combination of temp swings and an xacto blade, but i cracked the lens on that one. My problem was getting the tail light apart cleanly my first attempt was with a dremel and was terrible. The wires are glued to the pcb, so they don't move much. i think i ended up with 150 ohm resistors, but not entirely sure.Īnd yeah, i got it back together. They have red ones too since you are replacing those. Since it may be helpful, i used these amber LEDs for the top row. have you been able reassemble without getting those wires pinched? It looks delicate.This is great.
The plastic reflectors that sandwich the board practically touch it. From what I've seen with my lights here, there wouldn't actually be room for the wires.
Interesting! I hadn't thought about that and obviously the factory LED's are very robust. and then get them all designed on the boards. Time to start designing some boards! Need to find suitable LED's resistors, headers, etc. i got some scans of the boards, and then cleaned them up in inkscape, where I could then export as a DXF file, which is what Kicad needs for a board shape file. Very strange stepping foot into there again, haven't been in there since March. So I got into the office to use the scanner. Sent from my LM-V600 using Audizine mobile app Been trying to convince an EE friend to do it for me. Designing a custom PCB would be sweet though. Why make it more complicated? Who knows.You can use factory LEDs if your willing to cut the traces on the PCB. I've never understood why just because you CAN have your brake light double as a turn signal in the States, why you WOULD? Especially since you separate them by default in other countries. I was thinking I'll interface with the harness for the sidemarker turn signals and the 3rd brake light to get individual signals for each. I was thinking about that the other day, and I don't have any re-coding tools, and don't really care to get one. I've already snipped off the components of the board so it will sit nice and flat on the scanner. The plan is to start by sticking the boards in a flatbed scanner so I can use the board shape to make the new ones. I don't really see any reason to mess with the running lights for this. I can get down to 3 boards per side if I just do the brake lights, and ignore the running lights.
AUDI S4 SEQUENTIAL LIGHTS SERIES
If anyone is ever interested learning about PCB's, Sean Hymel has a great Kicad tutorial series on Youtube. I have a bit of experience making custom Arduino's and such in Kicad, but I'll need to re-familiarize myself with it. Soooo, it looks like we're going to be making board replacements for these. The boards also curve with the lights, so you can't use strips, as they won't bend sideways. There's no individual wiring for LED's, they're all on 7 different circuit boards, so there's no reusing the factory LED's. Got a chance to disassemble one side of lights today.
