Today found somethign interesting.
has anyone ever in this forum installed those led turnlights??

link here:

they make them in estonia O.o

How much are they? I can't find a price anywhere. If they're reasonable, like around $100, that's what I'm saving up for next!!!

I know Europe's road regulations need you to have orange turn signals instead of red ones, but if it's a custom shop I'm sure I could have them do all red instead.

Okay
i sended them a message.
looking at the pictures i think they may need the taillight and rebuild the whole thing themself. Defendly need to change some wires tho.

anyways will wait for ther anserw.
if its possible to install at home then maybe there are riv owners who would be intrested?
could make a croup buy or something.


also i saw one day from tv some cool led lights what you could install easely.
They are called Spider Led lights.

Personally I think that if the LED's use less energy than the 6 bulbs in the back, it'll help offset my sound system's power drain and equalize the power my car uses from the alternator/battery. That's always a good thing!




Edit: I just realized that the page is just for the turn signals. I'm interested in the entire taillight being a red LED conversion, not just the tips.

same whit HID lights...
hids take 35W normal halos 55W

Yeah, the HID's use a lot less energy which is one reason why I put them on. They use 51W to warm up but that's still less than the halogens.

He mailed me back now.
The ledpanel costs 1000EEK (65Euro)
Ledpanel whit installing and changing wires costs 1500EEK (96Euro)
He also told that he could convert just anythign into leds.


btw
the spider led lights are here for 27,99$
availeble in white, red and yellow

wonder how they would look on riv

Shipping would probably cost just as much...are those prices for the entire taillights, or just for the turn signals?

for turn signals.
but if you would want to let him build the whole tail light guess it could be maybe 2500EEK(160Euro)
well thats my guessing anyways

I was wondering did they have those LED lights like they have on the Saabs that you can put on another car..now if only I can 1) find them and 2) find someone to install them

I've always thought that with the Low beam lights on the front end of the Rivi doesnt look right without the sides lights being on and wondered if anybody has wired the turn signal lights to come on and stay on with the headlights.

Not only would it look alot better since ive swapped them out for amber Silverstars but the extra lighting would be pretty convenient.

Also was thinking that a amber LED strip going across the bottom the headlight and turn signal light would look. Thinking something along the lines of these in either white or amber:

What do you all think?

BTW already have 8k HIDs so the white/blue LEDs would match pretty good

The spoiler on my Riv sets it apart from every other Riviera Ive seen so far in the city. The only bad thing is that the LED lights in it were blown! Now I have to replace them.

try oznium.com for high brightness led lights if you don't have a source already.

Thanks! Im going to look into ordering them first thing in the morning.

Have you tried contacting the company that supplied the spoiler.??
The one i got, the LED's have worked from day one and have not had a problem yet. It's been over a year since i installed it.

I havent yet. I figured by the time they sent them out I'd have already put new ones in. It cant be the wiring either, because Ive unhooked it, wired it back up again, and still no lights.

Maybe you wired them backwards? LEDs normally have a very long lifespan. They can burn out, usually don't in a brake lamp application.

I agree with Aaron, I would double check to see if the wires are reversed, also double check your feed line for voltage. I doubt they are burnt...

Yeah thats what the guy at AutoZone said. They are usually long-lived bulbs and I cant see any good reason why a new product wouldnt be functioning properly. Tomorrow morning Im going to disconnect the wiring and start over again. The guy who installed it was a retired GM dealership bodyman and after he tried a few times, we gave up and I had my uncle try twice, and they both had the same effect. I'll check that connection though. They had these plastic connectors with them that you plug the wire into, and hook the brake wires into the other side. I want to see wire on wire contact to be sure, so I'll try that first thing in the morning.

We got the wiring together today and the light works perfectly. Turns out the body man wired it wrong and my uncle half ass checked it, and my friend came behind both of them and in 10 minutes rewired it and rerouted the wiring.

cool.....

...show pictures OR it didn't happen. (just kidding)

Congrats!!

As many have found before, oftentimes the simplest (and cheapest) explanation is the right one...
