Topic: Sail Panel LEDs

[AvyPrncss]

Ok guys so I am really special today and a little on the slow side but I am on oznium trying to buy the LEDs for my sail panels but I cant seem to figure out which friggin LEDs to buy. I tried reading through the posts but I had a big bowl of stupid this morning and cant put 2 + 2.

These are the ones that I am thinking I need to get but someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Those aren't the ones, though you could use those for cupholders in the back bumper once you get those.

Here's what you need:

Also, I would recommend the red Lens Mounts that are about 1/3 of the way down this page, on the right:

They make the light more uniform and visible from 360 degrees.  Mine looked a lot better after adding them.

A lot of it depends on how you want them to look obviously. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) with the 360 caps they have to stick out from the sail panel some. It isn't bad but I haul stuff and I didn't want to worry about breaking them so I went with the flush mount style.

You don't need the lens cap for that.  All you have to do is file the rounded end of the LED off and it changes the LED from a focused light to a 360 degree light.  Easy!!

Great idea!  I never thought of that... I like the way the caps look though too... gives it a finished look, to me.  I don't mind them sticking out more .

That is why i did the caps on mine, but you have to watch taking them apart I broke off one of the LEDS.

You could get the clear covers, I have both and thought the red looked slightly better then the clear.

AvyPrncss, check your local and sate laws, in Texas, from my somewhat limited understanding, you can only show red to the rear.  I am not sure how that applys to show usage only, but in Texas, anything other than red to the rear will get you a ticket.
