I wonder if you remember this thread? http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?29096-3D-Domed-lettering-on-number-plates Well, in #4 I posed the question "why hasn't anyone thought to back-light a number plate?" With help from other A2OC members in that thread (have a look), I've made this idea a reality. Here's how I did it ....
Cut the rectangle in the boot lid
LED light array
Mounted lighting box
Wooden spacer
Finished item!
And lit!
Well, it's a great feeling to make something come true. A fair bit of "head-scratching", but the end result is just fantastic! I have just one question to put to the very knowledgeable A2OC membership. I am (slightly) concerned about the overall brightness of my rear plate. The ultimate would be a means to control the brightness on a variable basis. Now this would be a one-off action, not something that would be frequently performed. The "controller" would be mounted internally inside the hatch. The light array is 12v LED's. If the voltage is lowered, will they dim?
