Default 12v LEDs

Found these today



The big ones look like they would work perfect for head lights. They are dome lights. The smaller ones look like they would be good marker lights or tail lights. They are dash lights for big rigs so they shouldn't be over powering bright. I'm going to get some once I get some more strip LEDs to light up the Nukizer.

No plugs that I seen but the wires are external so you could just straighten them out, solder and heat shrink. I was at 75 chrome shop when I found them

Probably any standard 194 plug would work but it would be very big. Probably better to just solder on some leads. You can also buy this stuff on https://www.superbrightleds.com/

Lighthouseleds is a good source of cheap loose bulbs too. Size friendly to our purposes.

Thanks for the links guys good stuff there. At $5 for the small set and $8 for the big set I'm gonna grab some next time I'm down that way. The size is going to be perfect for what I'm after

That’s a deal. I’m wondering how difficult it’d be to get those bigger ones fashioned into one of the axial round light buckets with the grill. Could be super bright and scale looking!

I used similar "194" compatible LED lights to make the lights on my Bomber.

I'm not sure about the light buckets since I don't have any. I'm thinking of cutting the back flat part off and just using the bucket that is on it. I'll post what I figure out.

Those lights on your bomber look great Jim! Bomber will probably be the next rig I buy. The wife wants something to bash around but still be able to go out and crawl with me.

Picked some of these up today. Here's some pics of the LEDs out of the casing and on a inch scale cutting mat. If you need mm let me know soon. Going to try to install these quickly


Hooked them up to my 12v source. Brightness is perfect to me. This is just one at 3ft away
