Re: High beam / turn signal indicators

OK,
I've made some progress on this small project.

First, I found some cheap rheostat dimmers for the LED's and they work great.
I'll post a picture later. They were only 3 bucks a piece, so I bought a spare.
I will take it apart from the cheap plastic case and use the componentsthe to dim all the LED's at once.

I also updated the escutcheon plate that holds the LED's.

My brother is a tool and die maker, and made the symbols. I think it really dresses it up.

Looks great! Have you considered making them to sell? If so, I will place my order now.

Re: High beam / turn signal indicators

here's the LED dimmer....ebay $ 2.80 each.
I'm going to put the rotary switch on the dash
and the rest hidden behind.

I'll make a matching aluminum knob later.

Sorry,
I don't have any plans to make any parts for sale yet.

Might do some custom pieces after the build is done.
