HCT Rear Position Light with LEDs

Rear position light LED mount with 10 3mm red LEDs (one is a spare). Fits inside the HCT Diffuser and is to be glued in place. My preference is E6000 glue for this type of application. Reminder: This part is included with the HCT Diffuser system.

Note: Soldering these 9 LEDs will take some advanced skill by running all of these LEDs in parallel and to be tuned to 2 volts maximum, which may require a voltage regulator, as shown in my Honda City Turbo Senna Edition video. Running these LEDs directly to any RC battery pack will blow the LEDs up. Likewise, a standard BEC above 2 volts output will also be too high voltage and cause failure. Make sure to use a variable BEC that can be adjusted to 2 volts or use resistors that can bring your voltage down safely to 2 volts. Test your voltage with the extra LED first!

Parts:

• Rear position light housing
  
• 3mm LEDs (Qty 10)

Tips: Some parts may still have some support tree remnants. Using needle nose pliers can pluck those stray strands off the main part. You can also sand down the parts to make them smooth, but be aware that it may lighten or dull the sanded area as compared to the rest of the part if you don't plan on painting them (I didn't paint any of the black parts and kept them bare). If a bolt needs to get through a stubborn hole, a hole reamer or even a simple hex driver may be all that's needed to make the hole larger for the bolt. Some of the large flat surfaces with speckled/rough texture may have residual hot bed adhesion glue residue still on them. If you want to remove that slightly sticky surface, simply clean it with warm water and a micro dot of dish soap (and a soft green Brillo pad can be used to help get the residue off faster).

Tech note: Each red LED is 2 volts, 20mA, Anode (+) = longer stem, Cathode (-) = shorter stem.
