    Hello together,

    there were a few 'latecomers' and therefore I ordered more material. So I am again open for a few more orders.
    At this occasion I want to add a few remarks regarding questions, which were discussed earlier, but tedious to go through the whole other thread.

    1. Polarity while installation doesn't matter.

    2. the light works from approx. 8V-18V. Means an alternator regulator failure would not kill the LEDs.

    3. the bulb paint I used is just for dimming the LEDs. The LEDs are emitting the individual colors (green, blue or whatever you want) themselves. Though most or all, who purchased my LED lights so far, and sent me feedback, found the brightness just right, if someone wants it more bright, the bulb paint can be easily removed with some nail polish remover or laquer thinner. It won't harm the LEDs. Just don't soak the whole thing.

    4. After a german ebayer wanted to copy the lights, I used coloured non-conductive epoxy for insulation of the electronics and reinforcement of the board.

    5. The lights also fit the GT4 instrument cluster illumination (2 needed for that)

    6. I offer also white ones for the GTB glove box between the seats. They are warmwhite and resemble the original filament bulb very well. Not that blueish hue of the normal 'white' LEDs.

    Yes, Martin. Are you still producing these? If not, can you still do a few production runs?

    Thank you,

    Sorry to hear of your health issues Martin! I hope you make a speedy and full recovery soon!

    For those of you wondering how these bulbs are, they’re FANTASTIC. I have them both in my 308 as well as my 412 (glove box).

    He has a personal Thread in the 308 Section it's staying 'topped up" I had hoped it was him posting?

    Truthfully I have been on the road and did not read thru it yesterday.
    Thoughts and prayers for a full recovery!

    I have his assembly in the tool box need the unwrap it and get it in!
    Man I am cleaning everything out did you ever find you matching 14" rim???

    Check his thread in the 308 section.

    He appears to be in great shape all things considered.

    Would love to but right now I have NOTHING PLANNED for 2021.

    They are already planning on extending the Lock-Downs and I bet they'll extend them several more times.

    FYI, I could never get mine to work. Tested the circuit, and there was no power. During my last fettle, I reached under there and found there's an old-style inline glass fuse on the wire. All works fine now! Get well soon, Martin!

    Hello together,

    since things improve not only healthwise, but also DHL delivers again such small items via air and no more via ship, what took forever, I think about making a few more of these LED lights.
    Since -like always- I have to know, how much material I must order, I want to ask, if there's still interest from you FChatters, who posted lately (this year).

    Best from Germany and thanks in advance
    Martin

    Hello, Martin.

    I’m so glad to know that your health has improved. I am interested in the set for 308GT4 instruments. Can you give me a link to the details and choices?

    Thank you.

    Jack.
