We make cilia of the LED tape on the tail light ...
To modify the rear lights on Chevrolet Aveo decided to use the LED strip DWF-W . The advantage is that it is very flexible and has a good appearance, designed for 12-15 volts, especially for cars. It would have been better to apply the red light band DWF-R , so that the light through the red filters was more saturated without a yellowish hue. But there was no red ribbon at that moment, so we're making it out of white.
Wires are removed from both sides of the tape, which is convenient.
Immediately I connected it to the power supply, checked it - it's on.
Approximately determine the diameter of the circle, taking into account the fact that the ribbon can be cut in multiple of three diodes.
After every three LEDs the tape is marked with a white arrow, in these places you can safely cut it.
It turned out here such a segment of 27 diodes
Further, to represent the circle, pierce the silicone edge of the tape with a wire (in this case, the foot from the diode), and, respectively, on the other side to it.
Bend and remove the extra, it turned out a circle. We believe in working capacity.
As attempts to disassemble the lantern failed (it was glued along the perimeter, therefore), it was decided to use a hole for the lamp cap.
Fold and put it inside.
There the circle was straightened into the right form. We help him with a long screwdriver, straighten it and correct it.
It is worth noting that the number of LEDs and the diameter of the circle coincided very well, it was not necessary to glue anything, the tape seated firmly and reliably.
In the lamp base we drill a hole, pass the wire from the tape and seal it.
Further everything is simple, we take the blue wire, it's a "plus" from the dimensions, and connect the wires to it from our rings. THE MOST IMPORTANT NOT TO MOVE POLARITY, THERE'S NOTHING TO COME OUT.
Isolate the heat shrink tube.
We check the efficiency of the assembly.
We install it on the machine, and we rejoice at the results of the work done.
Similarly, we adapt the ribbon inside the front headlight. It is possible and outside, if space permits. It's good that the tape is not afraid of water and moisture. We get here such LED "cilia".
