    16v should be fine
    thanks buddy
    buy a 25v capacitor , seen in the pic on first page, hope it works fine

    thanks buddy, can someone tell me the volt for 1000 micro fared capactor ,i found 16v & 35v capacitor in market

    The X pattern on the glass by the horizontal lines makes the light scatter so much. Thats why try arranging the LEDs away from the X.

    Well thanks for the design but right now i don't have sufficient time to open up all those things and redo

    And the major issue i had with this is the light gets scattered when it falls on the tail light glass. Hope u are able to understand the point what i meant to convey. SO i ll ve to put a circuit board or somehw place the LED's as close as possible to the glass.

    i want to know a 200ohm resistace should be connected to how many L.E.Ds in series

    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....

    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

    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

    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

    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?

    Here are the pics before fitting back.

    LED Arrangement


    Brake Lights


    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
