What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Where did you get these bad boys? I have LEDs in mine, but they're pretty weak.

I got them from super bright leds.com. 38mm festoon, 6 leds per bulb, 105 lumens. $6.95 each. I also ordered these for my trunk and my tag lights but I haven't installed them yet. These have a special circuit in it so you will have to remove your dimmer because it won't shut off but it will turn off and on when you open and close the doors. Only downfall but no big deal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Dave's (Bitsyncmaster's) led dimmer module would fix that.

No it won't because I already contacted him about that last night of getting that module from him. It has a special circuit in it to prevent that from happening. He said a whole complete different circuit would have to be built to make that possible.

Do you know what makes it impossible, so that particular circuit can be avoided in the future?

He said because the circuit that makes up that led light has a switching regulator built into it and the capacitor that is on there stays charged even when it's supposed to come out and a pulse width modulation circuit like the Factory dimmer switch. So if you don't mind it not giving out it works totally fine. I'm okay with it that it comes on with the door and shuts off when I close it and it doesn't fade out.

That makes perfect sense, and honestly, that is the first time I've ever seen such large capacitors on a 12v led "bulb."

It does have quite a large capacitor on it but it fit perfect within the new reproduction dome lights. No mods needed. Just snapped right in. If you dont mind it not dimming they turn on and off like any other light. The pictures really don't do it justice when you actually see you in person when it's completely dark outside. You go to open that door up and that whole interior comes to life all completely lit up. Total it 210 lumens of the 2 combined. All the lighting in my car is totally custom

Very nice interior lighting!

I hope to do something similar one day, but first I must complete my instrument cluster project.

As of now, I'm waiting to receive a VHX-1024 from Dakota Digital. Once I receive it, I will combine the gauges on a plexiglass, then design a label for the face using scans of Dakota Digital's sweep pattern. Once done, I should have a backlit cluster with a small digital screen for the odometer and other functions. Also, I have already wired up their fan controller which connects to the cluster. This effectively deletes two diodes and the dreaded otterstat.

Thank you and that should look really nice when you're done and I can only imagine how it will look when you have it all completed. I did all mine to my car because I completely gutted my interior because it was totally trashed.

Over the past 2 days, I got a few jobs done on the interior. First, I installed my front speakers. Member Kukem helped me on extensions for the 4mm studs.

Then I finished installing the black Mattaligner by adding 2 DMC on/off switches.

Finally, I started the work on replacing my fuse box. There were 2 fuse holders that were melted, and the PO installed inline fuses to repair them. I'll return them to stock. Man, removing all the connectors from the old one is very tedious!
