LED TAIL/STOPLICHT ?

[FLATSIX]

Hallo,

I am planning to make my taillight brighter.

Anyone knows the exact type needed for our Valks? I was planning to buy at CUSTOM DYNAMICS, but I have to be sure that it fits.

I think it came from Electrical Connection. It fits rite in the stock 1157 rec. and fills the hole tail light. If I am wrong I'll send you a message tonite when I can get to my reciept.

If you want bright, try one of these! I have one on my '99 Std.

Looks nice, doubletee, but here you have to place a new taillight execpt the glass and I have already a beatiful taillight with chrome accessorie that I love.

Would this be good - the 1.8" version would this fit into the original taillight ?

I have the Custom Dynamics dynamic clusters and there really good. I used to have the electrical connections lights but pulled them out for these and Im happy I did. It just a 1156  base and run wires from the tail light for run stop. Really bright and easy to do pretty cool too dont forget if you have the stock flasher unit it will not work with these you'll have to get the Signal minder or some other flasher to make it work. You could just buy the resistor but that to me is not the best solution. Especially since my front lights are leds too.  If you want size the Dynamic Clusters only come one size and it has plenty of room in the lens. I think the actual diameter is 2.25 inches you have to convert to mm. I also have one screw in the bottom of the light if you have a earlier year say 97 to 2000 I think that they have 2 screws mounted in the face of the lens this could limit the size you need to buy.

And here it is with the brake light on in a lighted garage.



Notice the reflection off of the tractor seat?.

FLATSIX, what is your taillight off of?    If it is OEM size, these 128 LED's will fit.

So when I take the

"1.80" Diameter Replacement Cluster
Need Help Identifying your bulb type, click here
48 LEDS--comes in Amber, Red, or White (White 1157 is for Turn Signal Use Only)
(Select Configuration After Adding to Cart)

Item: GEN185CLUSTER
Price: $24.99 ea

Then I will be safe.

Robert, when I buy their red leds and 1157-base, then I will be able to put it in, but I use it as tail/stoplicht. WILL IT WORK ??

I have the stock flasher , but don't need to flash, only for running light as taillight and stoplight.

It will be O.K. buy simply putting it in the standard 1157 socket???

What you are talking about and what I'm referring to is two different animals.
My opinion of the $24.90 one, this is what ya get.   Chinese junk.

I realize the one I used is pricey, but anyone who runs behind me had said "man, I wasn't paying attention and when you hit those brake lites it woke me up real quick."    The link above in another message in this link takes you right into that taillight.    You only get the innards, not the outside shell and etc.
You, never did say if your taillight was after market or OEM.  That would help in finding you a got innards replacement.

Make sure that bulb you are looking at isn't one of those rotating bulbs.    I have one or two of those and anyone who wants to pay postage I'll see if I can locate it or them.

I think I see what the problem is The Valks here in the states have the turn signal lights wired with 1156 bulbs and sockets. I also want to make clear we are talking about making the rear turn signals into stop/run lights with no turn signal lights is that correct? If that is correct I would get the ones you picked out and when ordering them there is a selection at the top of the page as you view your shopping cart this will give you the choices as far as color and style. If you do want to make them into stop/run lights I would order the ones with a pigtail which is nothing more than a wire connected to the leds that you can hook up to the wiring as you want. Then you will have to run wires from the rear light to the turn signal housing and hook them to the leds. The socket is really a 1156 and will be turn signal only. So it wont help you at all to get ones with a socket attached. The leds will fill most of the lens and you will have to attach them to the lens because you wont see them to well if you let them stay in the housing set back from the lens. I mounted mine on a little cup that I cut down to be the same diameter as the lens and then glued it to the lens at the place where it meet the housing. The gen 18r 1157 comes with a 1157 base and about 3 to 4 inches of wire that you can cut and connect it to the wires you pull from the rear light. You will still have the base to do anything you want with. Even the 1156 is the same cluster just wired differently so you can even cut the wires and wire that in as you want. Like I said before the turn signals here in the states are only wired for turn, no stop and no running so you cant just order a base and screw it in.

Hallo Robert,

the only thing I want to do is make my taillight and my stoplight more brighter (because I had a car that hit me from behind- she had not seen me...)

No modifications on the turn signal.

I have an OEM taillight.

Can I put the 1157  with 48 leds into my oem taillight and will it work like that?

[FLATSIX]

Now that we are talking about lights, today I did a short trip with my Lady, the first time after the car-accident.

Everything works fine and looks good, only that the idle is not so smooth like before because of the cobra-lightbar and the bullet/markerlights. When I put one of the two sets on then idel drops by 100rpm or a little more and you hear the motor "work" because the alternator must charge while the 2x 55 w extra seem to be the maximum.

That is why I think of buying the replacement for the HR16 HALOGEN bulbs - custom dynamics has them with 3 leds - consumption only 6watt each (makes 12 watt instead of 110watt) - this will not affect my idle. They pretend that they give a lot of light too.

For the cobra-replacement bulbs I cannot find one because I do not know what kind of bulbs are in there, it is a style H3 lamp but positioned vertical before the glas lens. Do you know what I mean, what kind of bulb is that??

The Radiantz LED is a direct fit into your OEM tail light. It plugs directly into the socket from which your standard brake/tail light bulb will be removed. It uses the OEM tail light cover, screws, the whole works. There are no modifications necessary to make it work with your OEM tail light assembly. It is "plug and play," as they say.

[FLATSIX]

I really want to buy the Radianz 128 led taillight, but I cannot because they have no replacement in LED for my 2 marker HR16 lamps - they consume too much for my alternator/battery and I want to get rid of that "drop" in rpm at idle.

I have to place an order at 1 company who has it all : taillight brigther - 2 pcs replacement HR16-lamps (6watt each only) and 2 lamps for my cobra-bar (only cannot determine what kind of bulb are in there now.......)

Custom dynamics hase it all.

[Robert]

RJ has the right idea I thought you wanted to modify the turn signals he knew all along. John provided the link.

[John U.]

One more Radiantz fan. I don't know of any other way to increase the run and brake lights to their level without melting the entire fixture.

I always keep my eye on Ebay. It took a year and 1/2 but I found new Radiantz lights for 2 Valks at 1/2 price; in two separate listings.
I guess that may never happen again but it pays to be vigilant.

[John U.]

I forgot to mention that Custom Dynamics sells an slectronic flasher for use with either LED or resistance bulbs for 14.95, or a programable version for 49.95

Get this bulb(s) for your Cobra bar. The spotlights are GE H7616 they only use 36.5 watts and put out 70000 CP. Lights up the road very well. They have some real good fire power at low wattage/draw on your alternator.

I must stay at CUSTOM DYNAMICS for buying (1 shipment to Belgium - will cost me 55 euro = 70 usd for belgian customs)

would this be something for the cobra bar replacement : http://www.customdynamics.com/motorcycle_led_bulbs.htm#PIAA_Bulbs

the x-trem white H3 bulbs with 35 Watt (=70 watt)  ???????

Personally, I don't like them.  Then on top of that they are high priced.

Did you check with Custom Dynamics to see if they had the part # I listed?  It is a standard part # for lights.   Check it out and you will probably be able to buy from 1 place.
