LED Rope wing mirror indicators [Resolved]

[Texxaco]

So my LED light rope turned up this morning which I plan to use on my mirrors as a replacement for LED lights that I installed.

They come with a transformer, see image which converts 240v to 12v, my question is if I remove the connectors should I be able to wire the LED light rope straight into the vans electrics?

 

[Robert]

Yes

Yep i have with mine only thing I found is that some are a bit sensitive when the alternator is charging so if you want them working with the engine running you could fit a 12v rectifier too but it’s not necessary

 

[Texxaco]

Yes

Cheers @Robert thats me going back out in the cold/snow

 

[Robert]

What is the function of this light rope?
Dynamic/sequential indicator?

 

[Texxaco]

Yeah, I am replacing the LED’s that I used as the rope is way brighter and a much better amber colour.
Did look at your post but I am not confident I could do that mod. Next best thing.

If you experience any issues with them when engine is running you may need to consider reading my thread, see below.

OEM T6 LED Rear Lights With Sequential LED Indicator "retrofit"

Watch this space :whistle:. Haha here he goes. I looked at these. I reckon a long strip similar to @Robert ‘s tail lamps indicators, but doubled-up so that the second strip faces backwards thus illuminating the cluster would sufficiently illuminate it

Is this not distracting you at night when switched ON?

Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no... it's ok when they're off or if I blink my eyes at the same rate.
You just know some blind twonk will still fail to see you turning in front of them though.

I thought they would but they work really well. Not too bright either. I love them.

No doubt will confuse the doggers so you’d better have a special offering with signals like that

I think @Texxaco just throws his hoodie over one of the mirrors when sending out his special digger signals!!!

Mine work fine engine running or not thankfully as I have not got a scooby what a rectifier is
