I need some replacelement for my car's rear lamp. Cheap conventional bulbs do not last long.

I've DIY some a couple of days ago but that involve major mod to the lamp's wiring. Pics below:

When power is applied to it, the LEDs are very bright - can light up a 10 x 10 room. As u can see, I did not use any resistors. I soldered 10 LEDs in serial (to reduce the voltage requirement) x 8 LEDs in parallel (to increase brightness).

DIY is fun but it is not easy to produce in quantities.

Show me next time in meeting...Interesting...

Yeah... still a work in progress, need to find a way to fit as many LEDs in the lamp base. 10 x 8 is just too much...

woa... in serial? 1 spoil then 1 row no light? :_:

go pasar road (pudu) . you can find electronic stuffs that you want there. dual light led will be pretty cool.

1 row no light better than no light at all.

I got the idea from a spoilt 3rd brake light. It uses 3 rows x 30 LEDs. I guess this type not so bright.

I have updated with some pics in dark room... damn bright! I'm still blinded by it (vision blurred by many reddish shadows).
