|  NoRegret Customs Puddle Light IPO
NoRegret Customs Puddle Light IPO I know its been a while since Ive posted a new mod or concept for everyone to dig into, so I figured with spring here it was time to break the spell. What I have for you is an Initial Public Offering (IPO) for a custom Puddle Light Kit for your SLK and just about any other car you may have on your lot. A good reference point will be my current kit. As you will see there are 4 LED modules. Currently each LED module contains 3 LEDs. These LEDs are the square surface mounted type. NOT the typical dome LED bulbs used for car alarms and such. Each module is a rectangle shape, with 3 LEDs in a row.     The NEW kit will be upgraded to 4 LEDs per module. However it will now be a square shaped module with 4 LEDs, one at each corner. (Please see pic attached below) There will be 5 modules on each side. Although I feel that 4 are modules is enough for the SLK, to make the kit compatible with larger cars, I have upgraded to 5 modules. Great thing is that you can simply cut away the last module and use it anywhere else you like. Interior, dome light,
so on. Each module is only 55mm x 55mm. The modules mount using 2 tiny screws. You can also attempt using 3M tape but I recommend using the screws since they hold 100% and leave only minimal marks if ever removed. Between each module there will be 24 of wire. More than enough to hide, tuck way, and use on SLKs and SUVs alike. SLK only calls for around 17 of wire between 4 modules. The kit is still in the R&D stages, however as with the Kleyman 3rd Brake Light Flasher, I am offering a few kits to anyone interested to offset production costs. These kits will be no different than the final. 98% sure. Please note, these are not cheap LEDs used by other kits. These are Industrial LEDs same as those used in backlighting buildings, store signs, and interior design. For the IPO the color will be white, however if in the future there is demand for other colors, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green will be available. Also a more advanced kit may also be available with RGB bulbs capable of color switching. Puddle lights can be wired directly to your door lights, dome light, or ambient lighting as well as just a regular switch. I can assist with info on installation and best practices. For info or interest, please drop me a PM. Reservations are limited. |
