Made new LED back up lights

Hi all

Couldn't find what I really wanted, so I ended up making a set of powerful LED back up lights. I pulled these strips from a LED Christmas decoration I happened to stumble across, fabbed up some aluminum channel and covered it all with a Lexan lense. The end result was awesome and they provide great back up lighting with very little current draw. The pic from the rear says it all. If anyone has any questions I'd be glad to help, all the materials were purchased local.

God Bless

Re: Made new LED back up lights

Here's a link BBF...You're always a big help to everyone here!

Although I paid 20.00 bucks shipped from a guy in Florida, these were available in Lowes at Christmas, and I bought one on sale at the 75% off table (been kicking myself in the *** I didn't buy all 12 of them)

In the pix are as follows: this is what it looks like in the box/ take off screws hidden under felt in the back/ back out screws and seperate bottom from housing, exposing switch and back of led/ Bend back tabs with needle nose and carefully lift out led stick (you can use the converter it came with to test the strip, just cut off round plug, strip ends and twist together, careful not to touch, and remember if it doesn't lite, switch leads, all leds have a positive and negitive)

Well..the link didn't come up...just put in "holiday led signs" in e bay

If you need anything else just hollar

Re: Made new LED back up lights

Here's a few more looking under the truck. It's a bit overcast at 1:30 p.m...and as you can see the LEDs are very noticeable


(yea,yea,yea...I know..the truck's dirty)

(If you can't find any BBF and you really want to do this...if 2 more strips I'd let you have for what I paid for them)

Best to all
