Hello

That LED you used, Is that 1 unit LED or you used a couple LED to make it Flashing.

So nice. 5 star for you

any one can tell me what type of glue if I want to stick back the head lamp cover?

 

[Edward Chew]

Yup. Is a 1 unit. That single LED can emits few colour of light. Thanks. hehe

 

[mivecmerah]

damn nice..

 

[Edward Chew]

Discovered new thing today. Wanna share herea... haha
The bigger the diameter of the rod, the more visible your angel eyes going to be. So, if the diameter is smaller, the less likely that some area will get the light to refract it to your eyes. So those area will looks like no light.

Another thing is... the type/shape/pattern of the lines/cutting, i still need to get the time to try it. To make the light being refracted to your eyes more effectively, hence more visible of your angel eyes...

 

[evo4g63]

mind to ask the correct diameter? which in order to make it light up nicely?

 

[Northiswara]

anyone have the electronic diagram so i can make that flashing LED also??
thanks............

 

[Edward Chew]

This post is regarding the cutting/lines pattern.
3D images below are drawn according to real life specification. The sample rod below are 30mm long and 10mm in diameter with 1mm depth of cutting/lines. And assuming that you are using knife/saw/dremel tool.
Let say if you use the hexagon rod, you result will look like this

If you are using the round rod, you result will look like this

AND..... This is the cutting/lines of the actual BMW 5 series angel ring. I nearly got an actual sample of this ring back home from a wreck 5 series headlight. :-(

See??? The cutting/lines are actually different. It is not up and down but 45 degree cutting and surrounded.

Bear in mind that i haven't get the difference/result between these 2 different patterns in real life as i haven't got the time yet. haha

 

[Edward Chew]

evo4g63, About the diameter, i don't know yet. 10mm should be ok.

Northiswara, For your ease, you can just get the RM2.50 flashing LED which flash at its own timing, or, here's the diagram Flashing LED Project

[Edward Chew]

Hey, today spotted one Range Rover Vogue with Angel Ring for its rear signal lo... The diameter is very big, not that nice...

Spyker, how to get the rod from you??? hehe. I really really got no time to buy lo, for 2 months somemore. And my white LED pun sudah rosak few already... :(

What's the voltage you give to your angel eyes LED ah?

 

[spykey]

u want the rod,i get it..1pc 45cm long oni left

voltage from 12Vdc battery series with 220 Ohm resistor..

voltage at LED terminal dont know..

maybe around 3-5 V DC.

Its true edward,the LED easily burnt..i oso confuse why!!!

 

[ah-singh]

tHE LED's easily gets burnt because of the heat which is produced when you switch on your headlamp....Led's cant take too much of heat dear diy friends....

 

[spykey]

u mean the heat generated from the halogen bulb?

ya la...true also:)

what about the beemers angel eye?is it use LED also or halogen bulb?

 

[Edward Chew]

Spyker, i mean how to get from you if you are giving it away. hehe. Ahh... Mine ah, 4.05V also wanna burnt oh, it starts to blink, then dimmer and dimmer.

I think 5 series not using LED, inspected a wrecked one the day before.

ah-singh, mine very bad, it burns on my fingers la, haven't even fitted in the headlight. :-( Maybe my thumb too hot. hahaha
