Well guys, I got one board designed for the AP1 taillight upgrade. This is the board diagram/schematic for the red lens (stop lamp). Now time to get going on the reverse/turn signal board. These are clearly going to be a lot more work than the dash. Just the red lens alone has 92 LED's, just for one side, haha. It's all good though. I like what I'm doing. :thumbup:

Looks kinda Complicated, but it's really not. Right now I have the ring and inner part sharing a ground which shouldn't be a big deal. And then I have two separate positives. One for the running light ring, and one for the actual brakes. Now as far as the other board is concerned, it's basically done, but after giving more thought, I think I may do away with the second red ring, because I think at night it would look awesome, but during the day if only the middle part of the clear lens lights with the turn signal, I think it may look broken or unfinished. I'm still not positive, the board is basically done for the initial idea, but I'm starting to think this second idea makes the most sense.

Well I was never really an electrical engineer by trade, but when you're on a submarine you are required to know everyone else's job too, that way if poop hits the fan, someone can still steer the sub home safely. So I don't claim to know EVERYTHING about electrical engineering, and don't have a HUGE passion for it, but I do know a LOT about it and when an idea comes into my head, passion has a way of creeping in as well. :thumbup:

What would it cost to order them pre-drilled?

Oh, I contacted the guy about the shocks. I forgot to tell you. I'm still waiting to hear back from him on what he'll do.

Arent the holes drilled in custom locations? I guess, if he sent them a template to go off it could maybe happen.

It would cost more than it's worth to have them custom drilled since they aren't in a normal grid pattern. LED's are arched, and tighter in some places, making it cost more to have them custom drilled. It's just better for me to bite the bullet and do it myself. The only thing I could see making it a little faster is a drill press which I do not have. But oh well!

I'm still confused.... do you mean it mounts magnetically to a workbench or something?

Yes, the base of it is an electromagnet. You put it on the metal, flip the switch and you ain't movin' it. It has a handle, just like a drill press, to move up and down.

Awe, no vice?

That's usually what I mount it to.

I do have a vice....though I usually work over in that shop for semi-major/major car repairs. I've been doing all my LED work out of my apartment....a little more convenient.

I'm definitely interested in getting a blue AP2 cluster! The problem is that I'm in Raleigh, NC.

Would it be possible to ship out my cluster to you, get the work done, and simply reinstall it when it gets back? Timeframe would most likely be next month.

Have to get my car/cluster over there for he (and I possibly) to build it before he has a working ap2 cluster template.

Hey Jordan: My car is down for the next month and I think Chris is wanting to come up there for his cluster, you want me to bring my cluster up there then?

Yeah that's cool Scott. It really won't take me terribly long to get the AP2 board designed. It will take me all of 30 minutes to take your cluster out of your car (unless you want to bring it to me out already) Then it's just a matter of taking it apart and getting the measurements I need.

ofsalesmen- I could do the install in your cluster for you, provided you ship me your cluster. It will be a little bit before I have the AP2 board designed, but when I do, we can get you taken care of. PM me for pricing details as well as what color(s) you want.
