Here are a few I found of recent jobs I did for friends. The Red one has a s454 with GM TBI that we added and I wired along with the chassis wiring. I also added remote start.

The Yellow one is has a switchpanel I made for him and wirred for an ARB airlocker, Fans, Front and Rear winches, Chassis lights, compressor, and a few other things (3-4 spares I think). It has a 98' 4.3L Vortec with a Marine intake (to get a 4bbl pattern then adapted to TBI, We used a painless harness on this one.

I haven't found any of the LED pics yet but 'll look in the morning. I had a pretty good spill last night and a sick 10month old so I gotta run.

Those are some sweet projects right there. I will have to get pictures of the formula SAE car that I wired/am wiring up.


here is a peak at my project. Also a chance for me to claim it as the first...

excuase the organized clutter. It looks cleaner from straight on. And the fan is there to keep the PCB dust from going near my face and me breathing it in.

well that picture is only 2 of 10 circuit boards. Plus fitting and securing the boards into the TL and creating voltage regulating circuits. Its a LOT of work.

Firgure it this way. That one driver side TL has 46 LED'* currently. + 18 more for the 3rd section.(not made yet) so 64 LEDs. Now those LED'* have 2 cathodes and 2 anodes. (4 prongs to put it simply) which = 256 solder joints. + the passenger side. 512 joints. + the center section + the other circuitry. Its a good bit of work.

and that is just making the boards. Cutting open the tail lights, modding them, and putting them back together.

Its not for the faint of heart.

Corvette crazy that looks very good, I like it.

The only things I can find are some old cad drawings that are of the ones I did for the El Camino, and a bunch of module papaers, I'll scan and post them if you like later. I haven't gotten a good look around and right now I am going to take a nap.

Corvettecrazy aka LEDcrazy :P Nice job. If am going to first work on my back-up lights. I have stuck LED bulbs in them before and they worked great / looked great too. Your tail lights there are bad a$$ though.
