What have you done to your mustang today?

[o2sys]

What do yall think?

It's a quick mockup only....

 

[Riptide]

Went by sears and got some cut off wheels and a tungsten carbide bit for the rotary tool. Need it for grinding the bosses down on the timing cover re: tvs installation

Has anyone here installed a TVS? I didn't see any step for draining the cooling system on the car. Am I missing something there?

^ Yes, you probably want to drain off some coolant before removing the intake manifold. That will minimize spillage.

I like it. Especially since the led is a solid light and not like 8 single led's that you typically see. Can't wait to see the final product!

Eh? The manifold is a dry manifold if it's like my 3v car. Only thing that spilled out of there was a little oil out of the runners.

Been a while but my Roush (m90) manifold had the thermostat housing in it so it was a wet manifold. I believe the TVS is the same setup.

Put my Corbeau Harness Bar in.

Want. I'm still wanting to do my own retrofit. You're killing me here. I keep reading about how difficult to remove the reflector bowls and I don't want to break anything.

No it pops right off.

I think the leds are too bright and just floods the entire housing.

Need to figure out how to dim it a little.

Any ideas???

 

[Synyster06Gates]

Is there a lens going over it? Maybe a few coats of VHT?

 

[RedfireV8]

That's what I was thinking. Maybe get some tint from wally world and cutting it to fit over the LED strips or something.

Cut the voltage down.

 

[o2sys]

It's 12v led. I tried connecting to a 9v battery and wouldn't even turn on.

Sweet! It was a great day for cruising today

This is normally what they do for Road race cars but if you talk with them I'm sure they can keep or eliminate and maybe add the things you need.

I'll have to check them out, thanks for the info man

Sure was! We'll have to get together and try and get some rolling shots this year. Or just cruise and catch up.

Sounds good

Resistors in line to lover the voltage going to them, a quick google search will bring up calculators showing what you need to achieve a specific voltage.
Edit: your 9v may be below the voltage threshold but more likely it doesn't put out enough current to drive the LEDs try my idea just use large enough resistors to dissipate the heat (pm me and I can help you if needed)
