How to build the HEART LED kit for NA MIATA

[@axedavid201]

Just a heads up, what you're calling the cathodes are actually the leads (leed). The cathode is the shorter of the leads and the longer is called the anode !

[@zaccook]

oh! that's good to know! thank you!!

[@AffinityAtl]

Actually they are electrodes. No biggie.

Coming in clutch once again📈

[@zaccook]

Thank you!!

You make it look easy

[@zaccook]

Haha 😂 i guess after doing so many we have it down now

Hi Zac I really like your work, I’m inspired to do my own taillights. I have a question : If you follow the resistor guide you show at 1:20 , can you directly power the led with ~12v in the car without damaging the leds or you need a thing to reduce the imput voltage to about 3v. Thanks

[@zaccook]

yep! 12v in is what they are designed for. I can't wait to see them!

[@loukasse.s5]

@@zaccook thank for your response, and for the leds are you using regular ones like you can buy on amazon ? (2.0-2.4v for the red and yellow ones and 3.0-3.2v for the white)

Is there a kit to make the C lights for the nb miata

[@rushilkisoon]

Now I’m tempted to waste more money, and somehow do my taillights after seeing how easy this is😭

[@zaccook]

Haha go for it! It’s really time consuming just a heads up

[@rushilkisoon]

@@zaccook I can imagine… my headlights took 2 months, working in the evenings… My mind is going crazy with ideas for patterns, diffused vs undiffused etc.

How far do they need to go in?

[@zaccook]

just until there is some pressure and then add some shoe goo on them to make sure they do not fall out.
