biz77 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Dark-V, What are you using to drive the Cree's above? Any heat management required for the LED? Mounting? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark-V Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I used the standard LM317 in done up in current regulation. And yes those LEDs do need heat management. The way I make them was a replacement for the bulb housing and used thermal epoxy to attach the heatsinks to the LED. Here is a picture of the whole thing. http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r175/Dark-V/LED%20Lights/License%20Plate/DSC_0045.jpg They were specifically designed for the Maxima and Sentra. I have yet to take apart my Legacy to see what I can do about mine. Maybe I'll take it apart today to see... Yeah, those heatsinks are a little overkill for the amount of heat they really generate, but I wanted to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you buy the non-LED or LED bulb at autozone? Quick question what were you doing wrong. An hour ago would be 1520 which would mean the cop was looking to get you for something since it was still daylight out & you would not be able to see the license plate bulb unless you had you nose up to it.

SpawnGT Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Wasnt Speeding. Actully I was at a red light here on LI, and i never shut off my headlights last night, so he saw that one of my headlights was out, the passenger side(which is a HID kit that i had installed a year ago), and when he pulled me over i still had the lights on, and he noticed that the light in the back was out, the headlight miraculously fixed itself after i flicked them off and flicked them back on(it does that quite frequently, quick fix, shut them off, and turn them back on, i believe the balast over heats or shorts) So when he saw that it was fixed he crossed out that it was a headlight, and wrote license p. light on top of headlight. so here it says we have 24 hours or so to fix it or we have to pay the ticket. so i need to install one sometime tomorrow before 3ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go to any auto parts store & pick up a non led bulb check the link i gave earlier in this thread for the right size. If my memory serves me its a 168 but not 100% sure.
