    OMG those are lovely designs, i am loving it
    Thank you very for the idea, i ll try out.

    Actually i had thought not to drill the reflector so i had an idea of putting the circuit board like this...


    So any idea u can give me on design, don't think i am greedy

    Also need some help to drill, how to drill the reflector if i think of doing so..!!
    If you decide to use a circuit board then good. A circuit board will be like a blank canvas - plonk the LEDs where you see fit! Just cut the board in proper shape such that it can be sandwiched between the reflector and the lens.

    And you drill using a drill, duh! I have an electric drill at home so not a problem for me. Electricians usually have them.

      i asked for pattern

            No man! Service center guys are saying it would take upto a month. So waiting! Anyways 60/55W bulb is supported on my bike. So, not so big prob. After getting the coil, hopeful of going upto 100/90W.

            I gave a pattern in the prev post. Modify it as per your liking!

                Done with the soldering stuff. I am not that happy with the result
                Will be uploading the pix after i fit it to bike.

                  Here are the pics before fitting back.

                  Parking Light


                  Without glass when LED's ON


                  I am not happy by the way it looks when the glass is put, the light emitted is glared completely

                    It is a good job but the holes are not uniform. Also the LEDs are not aligned properly. Regarding the brightness, did you use 8mm LEDs or are they 5mm LEDs? Also, AFAIK newer uni has transparent glasses. Can you get them?

                      I couldn't get 8mm LED's

                      All Uni's have same glass, it has 2 glasses. 1 RED above that 1 White.

                      The pics i have shown are with White Glass only.

                      Regarding alignment of LED's, its not easy as placing on circuit board. The back part has different shapes and according to that the alignment is varying

                      I think i will put a circuit board and proceed again

                        Looking at your reflector arrangement, I feel circuit board will be much easier. No issues of misalignment. Also in case of circuit board, LEDs are placed closer to the lens. This means lesser scattering of light by the lens.

                          It is not making any difference in looks just bcz of light scattering

                            can someone tell me what was the wattage of the 1000 micro farad capacitor used?

                            went to buy the list of components and when they asked me how many watts i was a bit confused

                            1N4007 diode - 4x
                            1000 micro F - 1x
                            200 ohm resistor - 6x
                            5mm led - 30x

                            and the circuit board etc

                                My input for design. This way you will be able to see the LEDs from outside the glass as they are along the outline of the horizontal line pattern on the glass. lemme know if you like the design.
                                Use the FATTEST assed LED available for the central LED[big red dot] and Use it as brake light.

                                The X will be for XBHP style....
