This is my first tutorial so go easy on me!

I managed to fix my rear wiper jet tonight, and was all very excited as it's never worked since I got the car! I had to remove the spoiler to fix it fully, so thought as my top brake light doesn't sit on properly, I would take a look and see what is what!

I took the light off the spoiler, and the cover literally fell off in my hands... convinced its been messed with before! The seal had obviously been broken judging by the state of the inside!

Did you laugh though?!

Anyway my inner self can't buy that tape! Being from Hong Kong!! Although some people may use it and it will be fine, let me share a little experience!

We buy the tape for letters we have made up at work for weddings. The idea comes from the 'love' letters being like having. We have made our own that use 24v LED tape, so when we started we bought about 5 different types of tape on eBay, and tested them all. 2 out of the 5, actually burn themselves out! I put them all on wood, put 24v to them and they near enough were on fire and smoking, too hot to touch!

The stuff we ended up using was a product that is sold by one of our biggest supplies, probably made in a china and branded their own but is the best we have ever come across. Only downside is 50m of it is just over £300 plus vat!

It would be wrong not to show the letters though, I'm quite pleased 😜

The Chinese are very good at selling what you want, even if they sort of have it.. 12v LED strip is a very common voltage so there is a 99% chance of getting exactly what you want. However if you should happen to get a another voltage and it's all getting too hot, you can add resistors in to the powerline and dial it down. Or add a voltage regulator chip

FYI it is easier to reduce the voltage, than step it up..

Have you still got any of the self igniting LED strip? chances are it's 12 Volt !!

If you really wont buy from Ping Pong then how about these http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/led-flexible-arrays/8555949/ They are water proof too... that can only be a bonus in a ffrr  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I'm pretty sure the self igniting one was on a 12v driver, as we only switched over to 24v recently!

Anyway, that aside, hurricane Dave or whatever it's called has cost me the cover that I stupidly taped on overnight!

I have an old brake light you're welcome to , it has one expired led, or it did have many years ago when I took it off. Just cover the postage and it's yours.
