DIY "integrated taillight" for 696

[BaZgA]

Well it is not actually integrated but you will get the picture

First I ordered some 5 bucks (a pair!) led lights over ebay which should be weather resist.







After that I took the wire from rear turn signals so I do not need to cut anything









Put those two together (do not mind the visual aspects)






Relocated the plate on my CW tail and hot glued it on it.
I had two options about position - rear beside the tail light and little up front beside plate. I choose the other one but it can be relocated











And now videos:

Left one after - rear position near light

Looks great!  (Except the wiring) Learn how to solder- its really easy.  Then you seal it up with shrink tubing and looks like it came that way- more durable too!

I did it unexpected and I had to finish it quick. I have 4 solders and solder often but did not have time and connectors so I will finish it up when load resistors come.
I will put it in some Heat Shrink Tubing and 'snake skin" but I was too anxious to finish

Hey Bazga..  that is pretty badass...  I was wondering if the LED could be inserted into the tail light enclosure??

Really could not tell. I did not want to open it and thinking that it would be better, if you want to do something like that, to buy amber leds by pcs not this integrated solution.

I like the last position, front - near plate.  You can see it more easily and honestly, I don't think you need resistors...the quick flashing will get driver's attention.  Nice job for a quick fix.

Can it be harmful if it stays that way. I do not want to damage dashboard
