Thanks Mr. brendanlim. Creating new parts is my hobby. So, I don't want to get money.

It is not sold anywhere. Because I made it.
I designed mask pattern by Adobe Illustrator. And I removed copper on the board using a chemical method.

To tell the truth, it is very difficult (troublesome) to make it. Because it is very small.
So, I can't mass-produce it. Sorry...

Very intelligent design on those wedge leds. If you ever wanted to make some more for fun, I would be happy to take them off your hands

Keep up the good work

Lightbulb Now I begin to try...

Thanks Mr. FutureGSorIS and Mr. onelasttry.

Now, I begin to try Door Mirror Winker(Blinker) transplanting.
This is one of the trial units. These are High Intensity yellow LEDs.

Talking A work of art .

This is a work of art imported from Germany.

It is Mercedes Benz new S-Class's one. It has 7 orange LEDs and foot light. I am planning to transplant MB's winker into GS's housing, and build in more LED's.

See http://www7.plala.or.jp/soaristo/page/diy/door_mir1.htm.

It is TOSHIBA TLYH180P. It has 8,000mcd!!

See http://www.semicon.toshiba.co.jp/ope...On=true#browse.

Although it has high brightness, the viewing angle is narrow(8.0 deg). So, I use TLYH17TP now. It has 4,800mcd and 20.0 deg.

WOW. I was going to use something like that but they create too much heat to be reliable without force-air cooling. well, in an SC unit, that is.

I think that it does not need air cooling, because LED consumes few electric power than electric bulb.
(a wedge bulb: about 5W, a LED: no more than 0.06W)

Tihs is Mersedez Benz SL-class's door mirror winker. I think it fits to SC's curved housing. Isn't it?
