Re: LED arrays for turn signals, brake lights available yet?
Ya, I talked to a guy last week and he found some that were "authorized" lol
The old in candenscents were replaced about every 6months depending on the
storms rumbling thru. But they had a fresnel type of lens cover that gave
all around directional "beaconizing" lol
It was the LED ones they were worried about because they don't emit
360...they're strongest from their end points...

Re: LED arrays for turn signals, brake lights available yet?
An LED with the proper lens shape can emit a pretty much flat beam.
However, the real trick is to simply group them. Or use the newer
variety with far higher brightness capability. Or just use laser style
and lenses.
